I saw a video of a person making a late-night snack, but what truly caught my eye was the plate — a beautifully simple, cream-colored piece with a unique bubbled shape. I had never seen anything like it and immediately wanted one, I imagined all the meals I could present on it and how lovely they would look. However, it was quite expensive. I couldn’t justify the purchase, so a bold idea struck me: Why not make it myself? I admitted this was a little unreasonable. My only experience with clay was from a brief encounter in elementary school. Yet, driven by the desire for that unique plate and then a wish to learn something new, I signed up for a pottery class last April. I entered the first class confidently, but reality soon hit. In the beginning, handling clay — which seemed so simple — was much harder for me, a rather carefree girl, than I had anticipated. My posture was wrong; I failed to center the clay on the wheel; I even couldn’t control its speed properly. Once, I spun the wheel too fast and made my piece flying across the room. I felt embarrassed and thought about quitting right then. However, I was not the one to give up easily. I continued attending class. By the third session, a shift occurred. I concentrated on steadying my elbows, gently applying pressure to the clay, and slowly pulling up the walls to form a bowl. The quiet rhythmic sound of the spinning wheel had a calming effect. To my surprise, by the end of that class, I had created my first real piece — a small, imperfect, yet completely handmade bowl. That semester taught me more than pottery; it taught me perseverance, and how to find beauty in imperfection. I left with several bowls and a vase. The bubble-shaped plate remained my goal in my next round of classes. This journey reminded me that true value lies not in a perfect product, but in the rewarding process of creating something with my own hands. 24．What was the author’s initial intention of making a piece of pottery? A．To learn a new skill. B．To join a pottery class. C．To have a special plate. D．To decorate a perfect room. 25．Why did the author almost give up pottery making? A．She found it too tiring. B．She was rather careless. C．She lacked the proper instruction. D．She struggled with the basic techniques. 26．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Daring and modest. B．Cautious and sensitive. C．Determined and patient. D．Curious and considerate. 27．What does the author learn from her pottery experience? A．Well begun is half done. B．The journey is the reward. C．Perfection is the enemy of progress.

I had never seen anything like it and immediately wanted one.”(我看到一个人做夜宵的视频，但真正吸引我的是那个盘子——一件简洁美观、乳白色、有着独特气泡形状的器皿。我从未见过这样的东西，立刻就想要一个。)以及第二段“However, it was quite expensive. I couldn’t justify the purchase, so a bold idea struck me: Why not make it myself?”(然而，它相当昂贵。我无法合理买下它，于是一个大胆的想法闪过：为什么不自己做一个呢？)可知，作者最初制作陶艺的目的是想要一个特别的盘子。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“In the beginning, handling clay — which seemed so simple — was much harder for me, a rather carefree girl, than I had anticipated. My posture was wrong; I failed to center the clay on the wheel; I even couldn’t control its speed properly.”(起初，操控黏土——看似如此简单——对我这个相当随性的女孩来说，比我预想的要难得多。我的姿势不对；无法把黏土在转盘上居中；甚至不能正确控制转速。)可知，作者在基础技巧上遇到了很大困难，因此差点放弃。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, I was not the one to give up easily. I continued attending class.”(然而，我不是轻易放弃的人。我继续上课。)以及作者坚持练习、慢慢掌握技巧的过程可知，作者是有决心、有耐心的人。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This journey reminded me that true value lies not in a perfect product, but in the rewarding process of creating something with my own hands.”(这段经历提醒我，真正的价值不在于完美的成品，而在于亲手创造事物的有益过程。)可知，作者从陶艺经历中学到的是“过程本身就是回报”。故选B。 C We know a lot about why people work for their own rewards, but much less about why they sometimes put in the same effort when the reward goes to someone else. Previous research in both animals and humans has shown that boosting dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward, can increase the willingness to exert (耗费) effort to obtain rewards for ourselves. What we don’t yet fully understand is whether the same brain chemical that fuels our personal motivation also makes us more willing to help others. To find out, a group of researchers turned to people with Parkinson’s disease because many take dopamine-boosting medication to manage their symptoms, so it created a natural experiment. In the experiment, participants made a choice between two options: A “work” offer that was higher in physical effort but obtained a better reward versus a “rest” offer that was equal in duration but involved no physical effort and obtained a worse reward. In half of the rounds, the Parkinson’s patients decided whether to try to obtain rewards to increase their own bonus. During the other half, they were provided with the same offers, but were informed that rewards earned would be delivered to others instead of themselves. When the patients were off their medication, they were less likely to choose the harder “work” option when the reward was for someone else than when rewards were for themselves. This is known as a “self-bias” and is common in healthy participants and the patients. However, when the patients were on their dopamine-boosting medication, the patients were less biased and relatively more helpful towards others. While medication is not a shortcut to boosting kindness, the study carries the potential to provide valuable clues about the interplay between brain chemistry and our social world. The results from this study provide the first insight into the neurochemicals behind prosocial (亲社会) effort and also highlight dopamine as a key to working hard to help others. 28．Why were people with Parkinson’s disease chosen to be study subjects? A．They were good at making decisions. B．Their symptoms were fairly detectable. C．Their medication was related to dopamine. D．They could easily be attracted by rewards. 29．What did participants tend to do due to a “self-bias”? A．Make efforts for their own benefit. B．Seize opportunities to help strangers. C．Reject dopamine-boosting medication. D．Take part in various voluntary activities. 30．What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the study? A．Its value. B．Its process. C．Its limitation. D．Its background. 31．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Prosocial Behaviors Prove Demanding B．Medication Is a Shortcut to Boosting Kindness C．Patients Become More Dependent on Dopamine D．Dopamine Affects Our Willingness to Help Others 【答案】28．C 29．A 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了促进多巴胺产生的药物对我们帮助别人的意愿产生了积极影响，并说明了该研究的意义和价值。 28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“What we don’t yet fully understand is whether the same brain chemical that fuels our personal motivation also makes us more willing to help others.(我们目前还不完全清楚的是，激发个人动力的同一种大脑化学物质是否也会让我们更愿意帮助他人)”及第二段“To find out, a group of researchers turned to people with Parkinson’s disease because many take dopamine-boosting medication to manage their symptoms, so it created a natural experiment.(为了弄清楚这一点，一组研究人员将目光投向了帕金森病患者，因为许多患者服用促进多巴胺分泌的药物来控制症状，这便形成了一种自然实验)”可知，选择帕金森病患者来做实验是因为他们的药物与多巴胺有关，这便形成了一种自然实验。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In half of the rounds, the Parkinson’s patients decided whether to try to obtain rewards to increase their own bonus. During the other half, they were provided with the same offers, but were informed that rewards earned would be delivered to others instead of themselves.(在一半的轮次中，帕金森病患者需决定是否尝试获取奖励以增加自己的奖金数额。而在另一半轮次中，他们接收到同样的奖励提议，但被告知所获得的奖励将发放给他人而非自己)”及第三段“When the patients were off their medication, they were less likely to choose the harder “work” option when the reward was for someone else than when rewards were for themselves. This is known as a “self-bias” and is common in healthy participants and the patients.(当患者停止服药后，当奖励是给予他人而非给予自己时，他们选择“更艰巨/更费力”选项的可能性会降低。这种情况被称为“自我偏差”，在健康人群以及患者中都很常见)”可知，由于“自我偏差”，参与者会更多考虑自己的利益，即，为自身利益而努力。故选A。 30．主旨大意题。文章最后一段“While medication is not a shortcut to boosting kindness, the study carries the potential to provide valuable clues about the interplay between brain chemistry and our social world. The results from this study provide the first insight into the neurochemicals behind prosocial effort and also highlight dopamine as a key to working hard to help others.(虽然药物并不能迅速提升人们的善良品质，但这项研究有可能为我们揭示大脑化学物质与社会环境之间的相互作用机制提供有价值的线索。该研究的结果首次为我们揭示了促进善举背后的神经化学物质，并且还强调了多巴胺是努力帮助他人的关键因素)”体现了研究的意义和价值。故选A。 31．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Previous research in both animals and humans has shown that boosting dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward, can increase the willingness to exert effort to obtain rewards for ourselves. What we don’t yet fully understand is whether the same brain chemical that fuels our personal motivation also makes us more willing to help others.(此前对动物和人类的研究都表明，提升多巴胺（一种与愉悦、动机和奖励相关的化学物质）的水平能够增强人们为获取自身奖励而付出努力的意愿。但我们目前还不完全清楚的是，这种驱动我们个人动机的脑部化学物质是否也会使我们更愿意帮助他人)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了促进多巴胺产生的药物对我们帮助别人的意愿产生了积极影响，并说明了该研究的意义和价值，D选项“多巴胺会影响我们帮助他人的意愿”能准备概括全文内容，可作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 D AI image generators have made a giant leap forward in a remarkably short period. These highly-developed systems are now capable of creating human faces that are not only convincing but often perceived as more realistic than actual human ones. This phenomenon, termed “hyper-realism”, poses a significant challenge to digital trust. However, a recent collaborative study by researchers from the UK points to a promising path: improving our collective AI-face detection capabilities through specialized, targeted training. The research team tested the face-assessing skills of 664 volunteers, categorized into two distinct groups: “super-recognizers” — individuals who possess a rare, naturally superior ability for facial recognition — and those with typical recognition skills. The experiment involved two core tasks designed to test intuition (直觉) and logic. In the initial task, volunteers evaluated a single image to determine its origin; in the subsequent task, they were presented with a pair of faces — one real and one artificial — and asked to identify the fake. In the control group that received no prior instruction, the data revealed a worrying trend. Super-recognizers correctly identified AI faces only 41 percent of the time, while typical recognizers dropped to a mere 31 percent. Given that half the images were AI-generated, both groups performed significantly worse than random chance (50 percent). This statistical gap confirms that AI portraits can effectively trick the human brain’s natural processing systems. To counter this, the study introduced a brief five-minute intervention. Participants were trained to look for “tell-tale” signs — fine biological imperfections such as unnatural teeth alignment or strange blurring where the hair meets the skin. Following this session, the accuracy of super-recognizers boosted to 64 percent. In contrast, while typical recognizers improved to 51 percent, they remained at the level of a coin flip. “As AI images are increasingly exploited for illegal purposes like identity theft scams (骗局), testing detection methods is crucial from a security perspective”, explains researcher EilidhNoyes. The findings highlight that while technology evolves, human expertise remains irreplaceable. Combining natural talent with professional training may be our best defence in confirming digital identities and securing the future of online interaction. 32．The study mainly examines participants’ ________. A．logical reasoning B．reaction speed C．technical knowledge D．observational skills 33．What is the meaning of “counter” in paragraph 4? A．To approve of. B．To argue against. C．To act in opposition to. D．To examine in detail. 34．What is the significance of the 64 percent accuracy rate mentioned in paragraph 5? A．It confirms the potential of combining gift with practice. B．It represents the maximum limit of human recognition. C．It shows the similarity between human and AI. D．It indicates that most people can be trained to spot false images. 35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Technical evolution will eventually eliminate identity theft B．Professional training is more essential than natural talent. C．Human factors remain a critical layer in digital defense. D．The security risks of AI are currently overestimated. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国一项研究表明，经过针对性的短期训练，超级人脸识别者识别AI人脸的准确率能显著提高，这为应对AI图像带来的安全问题提供了有效方法。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The experiment involved two core tasks designed to test intuition (直觉) and logic. In the initial task, volunteers evaluated a single image to determine its origin; in the subsequent task, they were presented with a pair of faces-one real and one artificial-and asked to identify the fake.(实验包括两项核心任务，旨在测试直觉和逻辑。在最初的任务中，志愿者评估一张单一图像以确定其来源；在随后的任务中，他们看到一对人脸——一张是真的，一张是人工的——并被要求识别出假的那张。)”可知，实验主要测试的是参与者的观察能力，通过评估图像和识别人脸的真假来检验他们的观察技巧。故选D。 33．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“This statistical gap confirms that AI portraits can effectively trick the human brain’s natural processing systems.(这一数据差距证实，AI人像能够轻易骗过人类大脑的自然识别系统。)”、第四段中“To counter this, the study introduced a brief five-minute intervention. Participants were trained to look for “tell-tale” signs-fine biological imperfections such as unnatural teeth alignment or strange blurring where the hair meets the skin.(为了counter这种情况，研究引入了一个简短的五分钟干预。参与者被训练寻找“泄露真相的”迹象——细微的生物缺陷，如不自然的牙齿排列或头发与皮肤接触处的奇怪模糊。)”可知，AI生成的图像能够欺骗人类的自然处理系统，因此这里需要一个措施来应对这种情况，即对抗、抵制这种情况，所以counter在此处的意思是“对抗，抵制”。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Following this session, the accuracy of super-recognizers boosted to 64 percent.(在这一环节之后，超级识别者的准确率提高到了64%。)”以及最后一段中“The findings highlight that while technology evolves, human expertise remains irreplaceable Combining natural talent with professional training may be our best defence in confirming digital identities and securing the future of online interaction.(研究结果强调，尽管技术在不断发展，但人类的专业知识仍然不可替代。将天赋与专业培训相结合，可能是我们在确认数字身份和保障在线互动未来方面的最佳防御手段。)”可知，64%的准确率是在超级识别者接受专业培训后达到的，这表明将天赋与训练相结合具有很大的潜力，能够提高识别AI生成图像的准确率。故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The findings highlight that while technology evolves, human expertise remains irreplaceable Combining natural talent with professional training may be our best defence in confirming digital identities and securing the future of online interaction.(研究结果强调，尽管技术在不断发展，但人类的专业知识仍然不可替代。将天赋与专业培训相结合，可能是我们在确认数字身份和保障在线互动未来方面的最佳防御手段。)”可知，人类的专业知识和技能在数字防御中仍然起着至关重要的作用，是不可或缺的。故选C。 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。 We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. 36 Our internal clock governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones (激素分泌) and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. 37 But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up. Even reducing jet lag by a day can improve the productivity and well-being of so many people. The best strategy? 38 For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements. 39 While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag. In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect. 40 While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure. A．A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find. B．Jet lag can affect people’s eating habits and sleep patterns. C．That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. D．There are some tools to help with this, of course. E．Different people have different rhythms. F．The most important step is to control when you get sunlight. G．However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep. 【答案】36．C 37．A 38．D 39．G 40．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了长途旅行后人们会因跨越时区产生时差反应，导致生物钟紊乱、睡眠和饮食受影响的问题以及解决措施。 36．根据上文“We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag.(长途旅行后我们都有过这样的经历——茫然地盯着邮件，数着时间盼着睡觉。可到了凌晨两点，你依然毫无睡意，漫无目的地刷着社交媒体，陷入时差的困扰中)”可知，空格处需要对这种时差困扰进行总结。C选项“That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast.(这就是快速跨越时区的代价)”承接上文，对前文描述的时差痛苦进行概括，符合语境。故选C项。 37．根据上文“But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance.(但当我们到达新时区，昼夜突然颠倒，这种节律就会失衡)” 以及下文 “But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up.(但科学家已经找到了帮助我们身体适应的方法)”可知，前文用科学解释时差问题，下文出现转折，说找到了帮助适应时差的方法，推知空处是说时差问题很难解决。选项 A“A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find.(要找到完全治愈时差的方法不太可能) ”承上启下，符合语境。故选A项。 38．根据下文“For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements.(例如，由神经科学家及其团队开发的应用程序 Timeshifter，会根据航班安排，为用户提供个性化的光照和睡眠时间表)”可知，空格处需要引出可以帮助调节时差的工具。D选项“There are some tools to help with this, of course.(当然有一些工具可以对此提供帮助)”引出下文的举例说明，符合语境。故选D项。 39．根据上文围绕光照和睡眠展开，以及下文“While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢) , the body’s process of turning food into energy.(大脑是我们的主生物钟，而肝脏、肌肉等其他组织也有自己的生物钟，它们调节着新陈代谢——即身体将食物转化为能量的过程)”可知，空格处需要进行转折，引出时差还受其他因素影响。G选项“However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep.(然而，时差不仅仅与光照和睡眠有关)”承上启下，使话题自然过渡，符合语境。故选G项。 40．根据上文“In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect.(实际上，有很多因素会起作用)”可知，空格处补充说明个体差异。E选项“Different people have different rhythms.(不同的人有不同的节律)”承接上文，符合语境。故选E项。 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。 Last year on Mother’s Day morning, I was at the supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson.

Recently, the city has begun taking solid 56 (measure) to protect its cats from drowning in these waterways. Winter has always been the season 57 survival is most challenging, as the freezing water leaves animals with little chance to survive. To improve safety, during last winter, the government 58 (position) small wooden staircases along several canal walls. These act as emergency exits for creatures that 59 (accidental) slip into the water. However, these first steps are not enough. More staircases 60 (schedule) to be built later this year, but their placement must be carefully chosen. In many areas, high stone walls make it almost impossible for animals 61 (escape) once they fall in. To address this, Amsterdam is working closely 62 an animal protection group called Dierenambulance. 63 organization is creating detailed maps of high-risk areas to guide the strategic placement of the new staircases. “Cats 64 (trap) in the canals are a constant concern,” explains Maggie Ruitenberg from a cat information centre. “Although they can swim, their, fur quickly becomes waterlogged, leaving them exhausted. These staircases could really save 65 (life).” 【答案】 56．measures 57．when 58．positioned 59．accidentally 60．are scheduled 61．to escape 62．with 63．The 64．trapped 65．lives 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了以运河闻名的阿姆斯特丹为保护猫咪不溺水，采取设置木质楼梯等措施及相关后续计划。 56．考查名词复数。句意：最近，这座城市开始采取切实措施保护其猫咪不溺水于这些水道中。take measures to do sth为固定搭配，意为“采取措施做某事”。故填measures。 57．考查定语从句引导词。句意：冬天一直是生存最具挑战性的季节，因为冰冷的水让动物们几乎没有生存的机会。此处为定语从句，先行词是the season，从句中survival is most challenging缺少时间状语，所以用关系副词when引导定语从句。故填when。 58．考查动词时态。句意：为了提高安全性，去年冬天，政府在几条运河岸边放置了小型木质楼梯。此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语during last winter（去年冬天）可知，此处描述的是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，position的过去式为positioned。故填positioned。 59．考查副词。句意：这些楼梯充当了意外滑入水中的动物的紧急出口。此处修饰动词slip，需用副词作状语，accidental的副词形式为accidentally，意为“意外地、偶然地”。故填accidentally。 60．考查动词时态语态。句意：更多的楼梯计划在今年晚些时候建造，但它们的位置必须仔细选择。此处为谓语动词，主语More staircases与谓语动词schedule之间为被动关系；结合时间状语later this year（今年晚些时候），应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为复数，所以用are scheduled。故填are scheduled。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：在许多地区，高高的石墙使得动物一旦掉进去就几乎不可能逃脱。此处为固定句型make it + 形容词 + for sb/sth to do sth，it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语，所以此处用动词不定式to escape。故填to escape。 62．考查介词。句意：为了解决这个问题，阿姆斯特丹正与一个名为动物救护车的动物保护组织密切合作，该组织正在绘制高风险区域的详细地图，以指导新楼梯的战略性放置。work closely with...为固定搭配，意为“与……密切合作”。故填with。 63．考查冠词。句意：为了解决这个问题，阿姆斯特丹正与一个名为动物救护车的动物保护组织密切合作，该组织正在绘制高风险区域的详细地图，以指导新楼梯的战略性放置。此处指代前面提到的an animal protection group called Dierenambulance，为特指，所以用定冠词the，且位于句首，首字母大写。故填The。 64．考查非谓语动词。句意：“被困在运河里的猫咪一直是人们关注的焦点，”一家猫咪信息中心的玛吉·鲁滕贝格解释说。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词Cats，Cats与trap之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词trapped。故填trapped。 65．考查名词复数。句意：这些楼梯真的可以拯救生命。life作“生命”讲时为可数名词，结合句意，此处表示“拯救许多猫咪的生命”，应用复数形式lives。故填lives。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．你校英文报“Teenage Life”栏目正在征集有关“Digital Minimalism”的稿件。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 同学们过度使用电子产品的现象； 2. 数字极简主义带给你的改变； 3. 向同学们发出倡议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Less Screen, More Life ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】     Nowadays, we teenagers have been exposed to various digital devices.

I read the poster carefully, feeling excited. At lunch, I found my friends Lewis and Sarah in the cafeteria. “Look at this contest,” I said, showing them the notice. “What if we try to build a robot together? One that can help people.” Lewis was interested right away, while Sarah asked many thoughtful questions about how it might work. After a long discussion, we finally agreed on a goal: to build a robot that could carry small objects, hoping it might one day assist those who need help. We started full of hope, buying motors, wires, and wheels. However, the step — making the robot move — stopped us completely. The motors became hot quickly, and the wheels just wouldn’t turn together. After three long afternoons of failed tries, Lewis dropped his tools on the worktable. “This is impossible,” he said in a low voice. “Maybe we should pick an easier project.” Sarah stayed quiet, but her worried face showed she felt the same. Seeing them so discouraged, I knew I had to do something. “Remember why we started,” I said, trying to sound confident. “We wanted to build something useful. Let’s not give up yet.” I suggested we split the work: Sarah and I would search the library and Internet for solutions, while Lewis would talk to Mr. Davis, our science teacher, whom I had already asked for permission to consult. Mr. Davis’s help was the turning point. He didn’t just give us answers; he taught us how to find them. In his laboratory, he looked at our messy wiring and smiled. “The problem is here,” he said, pointing to where the motor wires connected to the battery. “They are loose, causing a short circuit and heat.” He patiently showed us the right way to connect and secure them. Meanwhile, Sarah and I found a clear online video about motor control. We took detailed notes and brought everything back to the team. 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。 With Mr. Davis’s guidance and our new research, we tried again. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The contest day was busy and noisy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： With Mr. Davis’s guidance and our new research, we tried again. We rewired everything, checked every connection, and wrote a simple control program. On our seventh attempt, on a quiet Friday after school, I held my breath and pressed the start button. This time, the wheels not only turned but also moved forward smoothly. For a second, we were all silent. Then Sarah clapped; Lewis let out a loud cheer; and we all laughed with relief and joy. We then tested its other functions, and all of them worked perfectly. The contest day was busy and noisy. Many amazing projects surrounded us. When it was our turn, my hands felt cold. I carefully placed a small box in front of our robot. With a soft whirring sound, its arm reached out, picked up the box steadily, turned, and placed it perfectly into Sarah’s waiting hands. The whole process was quiet and exact. We saw the judges nod and write notes. Later, when the headmaster called our names for the first prize, we could hardly believe it. We walked to the stage proudly, holding the robot that proved hard work and teamwork could make an idea real. 【导语】本文以校园科技竞赛机器人为线索，讲述了“我”和朋友刘易斯、萨拉看到校园年度科技竞赛海报后，决定组队制作一个能搬运小物件、帮助他人的机器人；起初三人满怀希望准备材料，但在让机器人移动的步骤上屡屡失败，刘易斯和萨拉陷入沮丧，“我”提议分工合作，萨拉和“我”查资料、刘易斯请教科学老师戴维斯先生；戴维斯先生指出线路松动的问题并指导他们正确连接，“我们”也找到相关在线视频，为再次尝试做好了准备的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“在戴维斯先生的指导和我们新的研究基础上，我们再次尝试。”可知，本段可描写“我们”的再次尝试与突破，展现努力的成果，为下文竞赛获奖做铺垫。 ②由第二段首句“竞赛那天忙碌又嘈杂。”可知，本段可描写竞赛场景与“我们”的收获及领悟。 2. 续写线索：“我们”重新接线、编写程序，再次尝试制作机器人——第七次尝试时，机器人顺利移动、功能测试全部成功——竞赛当天，现场忙碌嘈杂，“我们”感到紧张——“我们”的机器人完美完成搬运任务，获得评委认可——“我们”获得一等奖，自豪登台，领悟努力与团队合作的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①重新接线：rewire/connect the wires again ②测试：test/check ③搬运：pick up/carry 情感类 ①欣慰：relief/comfort ②自豪地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】[高分句型1] When it was our turn, my hands felt cold.（运用when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] We walked to the stage proudly, holding the robot that proved hard work and teamwork could make an idea real.（运用现在分词作状语及that引导的定语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 2026年高考第二次模拟考试 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．What does the man mean?

I saw a video of a person making a late-night snack, but what truly caught my eye was the plate — a beautifully simple, cream-colored piece with a unique bubbled shape. I had never seen anything like it and immediately wanted one, I imagined all the meals I could present on it and how lovely they would look. However, it was quite expensive. I couldn’t justify the purchase, so a bold idea struck me: Why not make it myself? I admitted this was a little unreasonable. My only experience with clay was from a brief encounter in elementary school. Yet, driven by the desire for that unique plate and then a wish to learn something new, I signed up for a pottery class last April. I entered the first class confidently, but reality soon hit. In the beginning, handling clay — which seemed so simple — was much harder for me, a rather carefree girl, than I had anticipated. My posture was wrong; I failed to center the clay on the wheel; I even couldn’t control its speed properly. Once, I spun the wheel too fast and made my piece flying across the room. I felt embarrassed and thought about quitting right then. However, I was not the one to give up easily. I continued attending class. By the third session, a shift occurred. I concentrated on steadying my elbows, gently applying pressure to the clay, and slowly pulling up the walls to form a bowl. The quiet rhythmic sound of the spinning wheel had a calming effect. To my surprise, by the end of that class, I had created my first real piece — a small, imperfect, yet completely handmade bowl. That semester taught me more than pottery; it taught me perseverance, and how to find beauty in imperfection. I left with several bowls and a vase. The bubble-shaped plate remained my goal in my next round of classes. This journey reminded me that true value lies not in a perfect product, but in the rewarding process of creating something with my own hands. 24．What was the author’s initial intention of making a piece of pottery? A．To learn a new skill. B．To join a pottery class. C．To have a special plate. D．To decorate a perfect room. 25．Why did the author almost give up pottery making? A．She found it too tiring. B．She was rather careless. C．She lacked the proper instruction. D．She struggled with the basic techniques. 26．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Daring and modest. B．Cautious and sensitive. C．Determined and patient. D．Curious and considerate. 27．What does the author learn from her pottery experience? A．Well begun is half done. B．The journey is the reward. C．Perfection is the enemy of progress. D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. C We know a lot about why people work for their own rewards, but much less about why they sometimes put in the same effort when the reward goes to someone else. Previous research in both animals and humans has shown that boosting dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward, can increase the willingness to exert (耗费) effort to obtain rewards for ourselves. What we don’t yet fully understand is whether the same brain chemical that fuels our personal motivation also makes us more willing to help others. To find out, a group of researchers turned to people with Parkinson’s disease because many take dopamine-boosting medication to manage their symptoms, so it created a natural experiment. In the experiment, participants made a choice between two options: A “work” offer that was higher in physical effort but obtained a better reward versus a “rest” offer that was equal in duration but involved no physical effort and obtained a worse reward. In half of the rounds, the Parkinson’s patients decided whether to try to obtain rewards to increase their own bonus. During the other half, they were provided with the same offers, but were informed that rewards earned would be delivered to others instead of themselves. When the patients were off their medication, they were less likely to choose the harder “work” option when the reward was for someone else than when rewards were for themselves. This is known as a “self-bias” and is common in healthy participants and the patients. However, when the patients were on their dopamine-boosting medication, the patients were less biased and relatively more helpful towards others. While medication is not a shortcut to boosting kindness, the study carries the potential to provide valuable clues about the interplay between brain chemistry and our social world. The results from this study provide the first insight into the neurochemicals behind prosocial (亲社会) effort and also highlight dopamine as a key to working hard to help others. 28．Why were people with Parkinson’s disease chosen to be study subjects? A．They were good at making decisions. B．Their symptoms were fairly detectable. C．Their medication was related to dopamine. D．They could easily be attracted by rewards. 29．What did participants tend to do due to a “self-bias”? A．Make efforts for their own benefit. B．Seize opportunities to help strangers. C．Reject dopamine-boosting medication. D．Take part in various voluntary activities. 30．What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the study? A．Its value. B．Its process. C．Its limitation. D．Its background. 31．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Prosocial Behaviors Prove Demanding B．Medication Is a Shortcut to Boosting Kindness C．Patients Become More Dependent on Dopamine D．Dopamine Affects Our Willingness to Help Others D AI image generators have made a giant leap forward in a remarkably short period. These highly-developed systems are now capable of creating human faces that are not only convincing but often perceived as more realistic than actual human ones. This phenomenon, termed “hyper-realism”, poses a significant challenge to digital trust. However, a recent collaborative study by researchers from the UK points to a promising path: improving our collective AI-face detection capabilities through specialized, targeted training. The research team tested the face-assessing skills of 664 volunteers, categorized into two distinct groups: “super-recognizers” — individuals who possess a rare, naturally superior ability for facial recognition — and those with typical recognition skills. The experiment involved two core tasks designed to test intuition (直觉) and logic. In the initial task, volunteers evaluated a single image to determine its origin; in the subsequent task, they were presented with a pair of faces — one real and one artificial — and asked to identify the fake. In the control group that received no prior instruction, the data revealed a worrying trend. Super-recognizers correctly identified AI faces only 41 percent of the time, while typical recognizers dropped to a mere 31 percent. Given that half the images were AI-generated, both groups performed significantly worse than random chance (50 percent). This statistical gap confirms that AI portraits can effectively trick the human brain’s natural processing systems. To counter this, the study introduced a brief five-minute intervention. Participants were trained to look for “tell-tale” signs — fine biological imperfections such as unnatural teeth alignment or strange blurring where the hair meets the skin. Following this session, the accuracy of super-recognizers boosted to 64 percent. In contrast, while typical recognizers improved to 51 percent, they remained at the level of a coin flip. “As AI images are increasingly exploited for illegal purposes like identity theft scams (骗局), testing detection methods is crucial from a security perspective”, explains researcher EilidhNoyes. The findings highlight that while technology evolves, human expertise remains irreplaceable. Combining natural talent with professional training may be our best defence in confirming digital identities and securing the future of online interaction. 32．The study mainly examines participants’ ________. A．logical reasoning B．reaction speed C．technical knowledge D．observational skills 33．What is the meaning of “counter” in paragraph 4? A．To approve of. B．To argue against. C．To act in opposition to. D．To examine in detail. 34．What is the significance of the 64 percent accuracy rate mentioned in paragraph 5? A．It confirms the potential of combining gift with practice. B．It represents the maximum limit of human recognition. C．It shows the similarity between human and AI. D．It indicates that most people can be trained to spot false images. 35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Technical evolution will eventually eliminate identity theft B．Professional training is more essential than natural talent. C．Human factors remain a critical layer in digital defense. D．The security risks of AI are currently overestimated. 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。 We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. 36 Our internal clock governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones (激素分泌) and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. 37 But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up. Even reducing jet lag by a day can improve the productivity and well-being of so many people. The best strategy? 38 For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements. 39 While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag. In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect. 40 While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure. A．A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find. B．Jet lag can affect people’s eating habits and sleep patterns. C．That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. D．There are some tools to help with this, of course. E．Different people have different rhythms. F．The most important step is to control when you get sunlight. G．However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep. 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。 Last year on Mother’s Day morning, I was at the supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson.

Recently, the city has begun taking solid 56 (measure) to protect its cats from drowning in these waterways. Winter has always been the season 57 survival is most challenging, as the freezing water leaves animals with little chance to survive. To improve safety, during last winter, the government 58 (position) small wooden staircases along several canal walls. These act as emergency exits for creatures that 59 (accidental) slip into the water. However, these first steps are not enough. More staircases 60 (schedule) to be built later this year, but their placement must be carefully chosen.

I read the poster carefully, feeling excited. At lunch, I found my friends Lewis and Sarah in the cafeteria. “Look at this contest,” I said, showing them the notice. “What if we try to build a robot together? One that can help people.” Lewis was interested right away, while Sarah asked many thoughtful questions about how it might work. After a long discussion, we finally agreed on a goal: to build a robot that could carry small objects, hoping it might one day assist those who need help. We started full of hope, buying motors, wires, and wheels. However, the step — making the robot move — stopped us completely. The motors became hot quickly, and the wheels just wouldn’t turn together. After three long afternoons of failed tries, Lewis dropped his tools on the worktable. “This is impossible,” he said in a low voice. “Maybe we should pick an easier project.” Sarah stayed quiet, but her worried face showed she felt the same. Seeing them so discouraged, I knew I had to do something. “Remember why we started,” I said, trying to sound confident. “We wanted to build something useful. Let’s not give up yet.” I suggested we split the work: Sarah and I would search the library and Internet for solutions, while Lewis would talk to Mr. Davis, our science teacher, whom I had already asked for permission to consult. Mr. Davis’s help was the turning point. He didn’t just give us answers; he taught us how to find them. In his laboratory, he looked at our messy wiring and smiled. “The problem is here,” he said, pointing to where the motor wires connected to the battery. “They are loose, causing a short circuit and heat.” He patiently showed us the right way to connect and secure them. Meanwhile, Sarah and I found a clear online video about motor control. We took detailed notes and brought everything back to the team. 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。 With Mr. Davis’s guidance and our new research, we tried again. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The contest day was busy and noisy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
