Here, we will share everything you need to know from how to get there to tips for a great experience. How to Get to Antarctica Taking a boat is the most common and economical way to get to Antarctica. If you don’t prefer to travel by water, you can fly into Antarctica from Punta Arenas in Chile, which takes only two hours. Flights usually only operate from December to February. Since there are no commercial flights available, you need to book your flight together with your cruise ship (大型游轮). It’s also possible to fly from Cape Town, South Africa, in just 5 hours. The Best Things to Do in Antarctica There are 17 different types of penguins in Antarctica, which you can see on the main continent and the Falkland Islands. March and April are peak whale-watching months off the coast of Antarctica. During this time, you can spot various kinds of whales. Particular hotspots include Wilhelmina Bay and the Lemaire Channel. Exploring the land of Antarctica on foot is a unique way to experience its icy landscape. Deception Island and Orne Harbor are great places for hiking, while the snow-covered Antarctic Peninsula is a popular destination for snowshoeing. Tips for Visiting Antarctica First, stay within the luggage limits. Next, check your itinerary (行程) to make sure you see everything on your wish list. It’s also wise to book ahead of time, as cruises can sell out due to the extremely short travel season. 21. What can we learn about flights to Antarctica? A. They take only one hour. B. They can be booked separately. C. They are available all the year round. D. They start from Punta Arenas or Cape Town. 22. Which of the following is a good location for whale-watching? A.

B（2025上学期高二·长沙雅礼中学期中） I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime! And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)? Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s. I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved. Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect. 24. Why did the author skip school on that day? A. Her parents left home early. B. It was a cold winter morning. C. She was fascinated by a novel. D. She hated to take the biology exam. 25. What did the author think was the source of true joy? A. Reading by the fire alone. B. Travelling in Spain freely. C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one’s passion. 26. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph? A. Entering. B. Suspending. C. Adopting. D. Discouraging. 27. What can we infer from the passage? A. I was actually tired of my real-life roles. B. I learnt how to write on the Internet. C. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot. D. Writing pleased me more than reading. C（2025上学期高二·浙江余姚中学期中） “Digital switching” is a term refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it. Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning. “As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said. In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment. “I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.” The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation. 28. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory? A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom. C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion. 29. What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on? A. Its reason. B. Its consequence. C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it. 30. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion. C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning. 31. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping from tree to tree imply? A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort. B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources. C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities. D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement. D（2025上学期高二·南京一中期中） Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering. Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works. A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change. While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining. The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now. 32. Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the similarities between AI art and human art. B. To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art. C. To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art. D. To imply AI art cannot be underestimated. 33. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Clearly analyzed. B. Bravely suffered. C. Strongly criticized. D. Accurately perceived. 34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat. B. Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem. C. Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art. D The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property. 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art B. AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought C. Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art D. The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists 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。 （2025上学期高二·安徽芜湖一中期中） To figure out how to choose a career, start by taking a good look at yourself.

I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents， “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla.

It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime! And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)? Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s. I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved. Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect. 24. Why did the author skip school on that day? A. Her parents left home early. B. It was a cold winter morning. C. She was fascinated by a novel. D. She hated to take the biology exam. 25. What did the author think was the source of true joy? A. Reading by the fire alone. B. Travelling in Spain freely. C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one’s passion. 26. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph? A. Entering. B. Suspending. C. Adopting. D. Discouraging. 27. What can we infer from the passage? A. I was actually tired of my real-life roles. B. I learnt how to write on the Internet. C. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot. D. Writing pleased me more than reading. C（2025上学期高二·浙江余姚中学期中） “Digital switching” is a term refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it. Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning. “As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said. In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment. “I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.” The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation. 28. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory? A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom. C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion. 29. What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on? A. Its reason. B. Its consequence. C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it. 30. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion. C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning. 31. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping from tree to tree imply? A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort. B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources. C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities. D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement. D（2025上学期高二·南京一中期中） Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering. Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works. A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change. While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining. The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now. 32. Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the similarities between AI art and human art. B. To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art. C. To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art. D. To imply AI art cannot be underestimated. 33. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Clearly analyzed. B. Bravely suffered. C. Strongly criticized. D. Accurately perceived. 34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat. B. Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem. C. Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art. D The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property. 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art B. AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought C. Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art D. The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists 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。 （2025上学期高二·安徽芜湖一中期中） To figure out how to choose a career, start by taking a good look at yourself.

Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class. An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents， “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla.

Each of us placed an item in a sealed container, which will be opened in ten years. I put in my favorite pen, which has accompanied me through countless exams and writing tasks. It symbolizes my hard work and growth as a student. This activity made me reflect on how time flies and how much I may change in the future. It’s like sending a message to my future self, reminding me to stay true to my dreams. Do you have similar activities in your school? Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【范文】 Paragraph 1: At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness. Paragraph 2: But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是2025至2026学年高二下学期期中真题重组卷听力测试部分，考试即将开始，请同学们准备作答。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Can you fix the date for us to meet with nick?

One of their strongest arguments is that certain species, such as the panda from china and the White tiger from india, are not only protected from uncontrolled killing, but can give babies under protection, and in that way they may be saved from dying out.

Here, we will share everything you need to know from how to get there to tips for a great experience. How to Get to Antarctica Taking a boat is the most common and economical way to get to Antarctica. If you don’t prefer to travel by water, you can fly into Antarctica from Punta Arenas in Chile, which takes only two hours. Flights usually only operate from December to February. Since there are no commercial flights available, you need to book your flight together with your cruise ship (大型游轮). It’s also possible to fly from Cape Town, South Africa, in just 5 hours. The Best Things to Do in Antarctica There are 17 different types of penguins in Antarctica, which you can see on the main continent and the Falkland Islands. March and April are peak whale-watching months off the coast of Antarctica. During this time, you can spot various kinds of whales. Particular hotspots include Wilhelmina Bay and the Lemaire Channel. Exploring the land of Antarctica on foot is a unique way to experience its icy landscape. Deception Island and Orne Harbor are great places for hiking, while the snow-covered Antarctic Peninsula is a popular destination for snowshoeing. Tips for Visiting Antarctica First, stay within the luggage limits. Next, check your itinerary (行程) to make sure you see everything on your wish list. It’s also wise to book ahead of time, as cruises can sell out due to the extremely short travel season. 21. What can we learn about flights to Antarctica? A. They take only one hour. B.

It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime! And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)? Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s. I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved. Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect. 24. Why did the author skip school on that day? A. Her parents left home early. B. It was a cold winter morning. C. She was fascinated by a novel. D. She hated to take the biology exam. 25. What did the author think was the source of true joy? A. Reading by the fire alone. B. Travelling in Spain freely. C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one’s passion. 26. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph? A. Entering. B. Suspending. C. Adopting. D. Discouraging. 27. What can we infer from the passage? A. I was actually tired of my real-life roles. B. I learnt how to write on the Internet. C. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot. D. Writing pleased me more than reading. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者16岁时逃学在家阅读海明威小说的经历，以及这次经历对她人生和写作产生的深远影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. (不，我在木炉里生了一堆温暖的火，准备了一碗爆米花，裹上一条毯子，然后就开始读书。我被一本书深深吸引，它就是海明威的《太阳照常升起》，我只需要独自沉浸其中一会儿。)”可知，作者选择留在家中读海明威的《太阳照常升起》这本书，并为之着迷。因此，作者那天逃学是因为被一本小说吸引了。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.(我偶然发现了通往完美幸福的钥匙：我全身心地投入到我所热爱的事情中。)”可知，作者偶然发现了获得完美幸福的秘诀：完全被自己所热爱的事物吸引。因此，作者认为真正的快乐来源于被自己的热情所占据。故选D。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write.( 我正在下载关于如何创建简单优雅的句子，一个好的和坚实的情节的信息。换句话说，我在学习如何写作。)”可知，作者正在学习如何写作，由此可知海明威的语言风格悄悄地进入了作者的想象中，对作者产生了影响。A选项“Entering”意为“进入”，符合语境。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. (海明威的语言悄悄地进入到我的想象中。我正在下载关于如何创建简单优雅的句子，一个好的和坚实的情节的信息。换句话说，我在学习如何写作。)”可知，海明威的语言风格对作者产生了很大的影响，让作者学习到了如何写作。故选C。 C（2025上学期高二·浙江余姚中学期中） “Digital switching” is a term refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through and fast-forwarding online videos. Researchers from Canada did some exploration of it. Kay Y. Y. Tam, a psychology researcher, launched the study after noticing herself — and pretty much everyone else — swiping through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model”, a theory she had published in 2021. Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning. “As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said. In her study, more than 1,200 participants, many of them university students, first watched a single video for ten minutes. They were then presented with seven shorter videos, with the option to skip to the next. On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment. “I’m convinced that switching, when it comes to videos, is not a good idea if the goal is to have an enjoyable experience,” said Erin Westgate, a professor of psychology. “Sitting and toughing it out is likely a better choice.” The new findings add to a growing body of evidence that boredom is on the rise, despite a world filled with content we can access at all times. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to feel more bored. Swiping on social media has also been linked to increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation. 28. What is the cause of attention shifts according to Tam’s theory? A. The unsatisfied desire. B. The feeling of boredom. C. The degree of engagement. D. The lack of emotion. 29. What does Tam’s study of “digital switching” focus on? A. Its reason. B. Its consequence. C. The solution to it. D. The theory behind it. 30. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To solve a problem. B. To make a suggestion. C. To raise a question. D. To give a warning. 31. What does the comparison between “digital switching” and an animal jumping from tree to tree imply? A. Digital switching can lead to a waste of time and effort. B. Animals are more efficient than humans in searching for resources. C. Boredom is a natural response to unproductive activities. D. Quick escapes can prevent us from achieving meaningful engagement. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“数字切换”这一行为，包括其与注意力转移、无聊感的关系，以及过度依赖 “数字切换” 可能带来的问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Boredom, she proposed, is rooted in attention shifts. These shifts often occur when there’s a gap between how engaged people actually feel and how engaged they want to feel. The unpleasant emotion can develop when a situation lacks novelty or meaning.(她提出，无聊源于注意力转移。当人们实际的投入程度与他们想要的投入程度之间存在差距时，这些转移经常会发生。当一种情况缺乏新奇感或意义时，这种不愉快的情绪就会产生。)”可知，当人们实际投入程度与想要的投入程度有差距时，注意力就会转移，由此可知，注意力转移的原因是人们未满足的欲望。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““As digital switching involves frequent attention shifts, I wondered how this behavior might influence our feelings of boredom,” Tam said.( ‘由于数字切换涉及频繁的注意力转移，我想知道这种行为可能如何影响我们的无聊感，’塔姆说。)”以及第四段中的“On average, they skipped eight times — but reported feeling more bored and less engaged when they watched the single video. Participants had a similar experience in another similar experiment.(平均来说，他们跳过了八次——但当他们观看单个视频时，他们表示感到更无聊，投入度更低。参与者在另一个类似的实验中也有类似的经历。)”可知，塔姆对“数字切换”的研究重点是这种行为的后果，即人们在进行“数字切换”后感到更无聊和投入度更低。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Boredom can motivate people to explore their environment and to stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.(无聊可以激励人们探索他们的环境，并停止在几乎没有回报的活动上投入时间。然而，如果我们过度依赖快速逃避，就像一只动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树寻找食物，却没有停留足够的时间去看一棵树是否结果。那只动物有饿死的风险。)”可知，最后一段通过把过度依赖快速逃避（“数字切换”）比喻成动物在林间跳跃寻找食物最终可能导致饿死，来警示读者这种行为可能导致的不好的结果；由此可知，最后一段的主要目的是发出警告，故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, if we rely too much on quick escapes, it would be like an animal jumping from tree to tree in search of food without staying long enough to see if a tree bears fruit. That animal risks starvation.(然而，如果我们过度依赖快速逃避，就像一只动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树寻找食物，却没有停留足够的时间去看一棵树是否结果。那只动物有饿死的风险。)”可知，将“数字切换”与动物从一棵树跳到另一棵树作比较，意味着快速逃避（“数字切换”）会阻止我们实现有意义的投入，就像动物没有在一棵树上停留足够时间，无法收获果实一样。故选D项。 D（2025上学期高二·南京一中期中） Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering. Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works. A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change. While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining. The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now. 32. Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the similarities between AI art and human art. B. To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art. C. To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art. D. To imply AI art cannot be underestimated. 33. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Clearly analyzed. B. Bravely suffered. C. Strongly criticized. D. Accurately perceived. 34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat. B. Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem. C. Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art. D The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property. 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art B. AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought C. Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art D. The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述一些艺术家对人工智能艺术的看法，并指出人工智能艺术一定会面临挑战。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. (在凯夫发表讲话前几天，专家们被要求区分四件真正的艺术品和它们的人工智能仿制品。他们的结论在12次中有5次是错误的，而且他们只在四张图片的对比中有一张是完全正确的。)”可推断提到了四幅图片的比较是说明人工智能艺术不可低估，故选D。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. (CDC强调，虽然开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它。)”和画线单词所在句子“It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence (它deplored数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护)”可知，开发人工智能很重要，但不应不惜一切代价追求它，这说明CDC对数字、文化和媒体部门未能提供辩护表示批评，故猜测deplored意思是批评，故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering. (他明白人工智能还处于婴儿期，但他只能得出这样的结论：真正的恐怖可能是“它将永远处于婴儿期”。他写道，也许有一天机器人能够创作一首歌，但它永远不会超越“一种滑稽模仿”，因为机器人是由数据组成的，它们无法忍受痛苦，而歌曲是从痛苦中产生的。)”可推断有些艺术家认为尽管人工智能是一种威胁，但它更是一种工具。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful.

(正如凯夫所言，人工智能面临的挑战既有哲学层面的，也有实践层面的。它们将在短期和长期内展开。最先进的创意产业在塑造和探索哲学产业方面发挥着关键作用，但它们必须得到生存和成功所需的实际帮助。他们现在就需要。)”可知本文讲述的就是人工智能艺术必定要面临很多挑战，B选项“艺术中的AI：一场必须进行的战斗”符合文章主旨，适合做标题，故选B。 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。 （2025上学期高二·安徽芜湖一中期中） To figure out how to choose a career, start by taking a good look at yourself. Your talents, your passions and your mission are like the small wires (线). ____36____ From there, you’ll narrow the field further by looking at the specifics of different career options you’re most suited for. List your skills and talents. No matter who you are, there are plenty of things you’re good at. You might know what those talents are already, but go ahead and make a list of every one that comes to mind. ____37____ Don’t leave out any of them, even if you don’t think it qualifies as a career skill. Identify your passions and mission. If you’re going to find a meaningful career, passion isn’t just a pipe dream but a must. It means the work will fulfill you. ____38____ To keep commitment (投入) over a long time, you also need a deeper purpose. This purpose defines your mission: the contribution you want to make and the results you try to see. ____39____ Matters like how much money you want to make and where you want to live are important too. Think about these questions to narrow down your options: How much money do you need to make? Do you want flexibility in your job? What kind of benefits are important to you? What kind of environment do you excel in? If you’ve managed to get through everything above and have a clear answer for what you’re wired to do, congratulations! If you’re still unsure, that’s okay. ____40____ There’s only so much career shopping you can do before you have to just go for it. A. Consider the challenges you may meet. B. Think about practical parts of a job. C. However, passion alone isn’t enough. D. You don’t have to have this figured out by dinnertime. E. These are all hints that tell you what your strengths are. F. They combine to form a picture of what you’re wired to do. G. Your mission will follow if you’re passionate about your work. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何选择职业的建议，包括罗列技能天赋、明确热情与使命、考虑工作实际因素等，以帮助读者逐步明确适合自己的职业方向。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Your talents, your passions and your mission are like the small wires (线). (你的天赋、热情和使命就像细小的线)”以及下文“From there, you’ll narrow the field further by looking at the specifics of different career options you’re most suited for. (在此基础上，你可以通过了解最适合自己的不同职业选择的细节，进一步缩小范围)”可知，上文将才能、热情和使命比作细小的线，下文说应了解职业选择的细节以缩小选择范围，F选项“They combine to form a picture of what you’re wired to do. (它们结合在一起，勾勒出你天生适合做什么的蓝图)”中的“They”指代上文“talents, passions and mission”，“combine to form a picture”呼应“like the small wires”的比喻，将分散的自我特质整合为“适合做什么”的清晰方向，为下文“缩小职业选择范围”提供依据，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“You might know what those talents are already, but go ahead and make a list of every one that comes to mind. (你可能已经知道自己有哪些天赋，但还是要把能想到的都列出来)”以及下文“Don’t leave out any of them, even if you don’t think it qualifies as a career skill. (不要遗漏任何一项，即使你认为它算不上职业技能)”可知，上文建议列出自己的天赋，下文说注意不要遗漏，E选项“These are all hints that tell you what your strengths are. (这些都是能告诉你自身优势所在的线索)”中的“These”指代上文“list of every one (天赋清单)”，“hints that tell you what your strengths are”解释了罗列天赋的意义，即发现自身优势，与下文“不遗漏任何一项”的建议相呼应，强调每个天赋对职业选择的参考价值。故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“If you’re going to find a meaningful career, passion isn’t just a pipe dream but a must. It means the work will fulfill you. (若想找到有意义的职业，热情并非白日梦，而是必需品。它意味着这份工作能让你获得满足感)”以及下文“To keep commitment (投入) over a long time, you also need a deeper purpose. This purpose defines your mission: the contribution you want to make and the results you try to see. (要长期保持投入，你还需要一个更深层次的目标。这个目标定义了你的使命：你想要做出的贡献以及你努力想要看到的成果)”可知，上文强调了热情的重要性，下文指出为了长时间保持投入，还需要更深层次的目标，C选项“However, passion alone isn’t enough. (然而，仅有热情是不够的)”通过“However”转折，承认热情的重要性，同时引出下文“更深层次的目标使命”，“isn’t enough”与下文“also need”形成逻辑递进，完善“有意义的职业需兼具热情与使命”的观点。故选C项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Matters like how much money you want to make and where you want to live are important too. Think about these questions to narrow down your options: How much money do you need to make? Do you want flexibility in your job? What kind of benefits are important to you? What kind of environment do you excel in? (你想赚多少钱、想在哪里生活这类问题也很重要。思考这些问题来缩小选择范围：你需要赚多少钱？你希望工作有灵活性吗？哪种福利对你很重要？你在什么样的环境中能发挥优势？)”可知，下文列举了一些选择职业时要考虑的实际问题，B选项“Think about practical parts of a job. (考虑工作的实际方面)”概括了本段核心内容，“practical parts”对应下文“赚钱、居住地点、工作灵活性、福利、工作环境”等实际问题，可作为段落小标题统领全段，引出具体思考方向。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“If you’ve managed to get through everything above and have a clear answer for what you’re wired to do, congratulations! If you’re still unsure, that’s okay. (如果你已经完成了以上所有步骤，并且明确知道自己适合做什么，那恭喜你！如果你仍然不确定，也没关系)”以及下文“There’s only so much career shopping you can do before you have to just go for it. (在你必须付诸行动之前，你能做的职业探索是有限的)”可知，上文说如果对职业选择不确定也没关系，下文说职业探索时间有限，必须要付诸行动，D选项“You don’t have to have this figured out by dinnertime. (你不必非要在短时间内弄明白这件事)”承接上文，进一步说明不必急于弄清楚职业选择，用“don’t have to have this figured out by dinnertime”缓解焦虑，同时与下文“职业探索有限，需付诸行动”形成平衡，指出“既不能着急，也不要拖延”，逻辑通顺。故选D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。 （2025上学期高二·安徽马鞍山二中期中） I came across an image of a distance runner with a caption (说明文字) that told readers to keep going at all costs. It ____41____ me of the sunk cost fallacy (谬论), a concept I researched in grad school after realizing I’d been so likely to suffer from it. In high school, I had ____42____ five universities.

People will wear clothes they don’t like because they have paid money for them and stay in unhealthy ____50____ because they’ve been together for so long. That you’ve sunk time, effort, or money into something doesn’t mean you should ____51____ more. Our society loves to emphasize ____52____ to keep trying. But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes ____53____ is the hardest choice of all after all the hard work. You might ____54____ a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a(n) ____55____ realization. 41.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者本人因100美元定金而放弃更好奖学金的个人经历，以及人们因已投入成本而继续坚持不喜欢的衣服、不健康的关系等普遍现象，引出了对“沉没成本谬论”的讨论。文章最终指出，为已付出的成本继续追加投入并非明智，有时放弃才是最难但正确的选择，即使承认这一现实可能令人痛苦。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它让我想起了沉没成本谬论，这是我在研究生时期研究过的一个概念。A. warned警告；B. convinced使确信；C. reminded提醒，使想起；D. informed通知。根据上文“I came across an image...(我看到一张图片...)”以及后文提到这个概念是他研究生时期研究过的，可知这张图片“提醒”或“使他想起了”这个概念。固定搭配“remind sb. of sth.”意为“使某人想起某事”，符合语境。故选C。 【42题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：高中时，我申请了五所大学。A. approved of赞成；B. applied to申请；C. taken in吸收，欺骗；D. put off推迟。根据下文“Soon I heard from four”可知，作者“申请了”五所大学，其中收到四所大学的回复。故选B。 【43题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：很快我收到了四所大学的回复，南犹他大学将给我提供最好的奖学金。A. reward报酬；B. scholarship奖学金；C. celebration庆祝；D. property财产。根据下文“an even better scholarship with full fees(一个包含全部费用的更好的奖学金)”可知，此处南犹他大学提供的是“奖学金”。故选B。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：两周后，最后一所学校提供了一个包含全部费用的更好的奖学金。A. offered提供；B. consumed消耗；C. expected期望；D. explored探索。学校向学生“提供”奖学金，是固定搭配。且与上文的“give me the best scholarship”中的“give”同义复现。故选A。 【45题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：17岁的我做了什么？我仍然因为那100美元的定金而承诺去南犹他大学。A. exposed暴露；B. committed承诺，使承担义务；C. opposed反对；D. made制作。根据上文“I paid them my $100 commitment fee.(我付给了他们100美元的定金。)”可知，作者因已付定金而“承诺”去这所大学。固定搭配be committed to意为“致力于，承诺做某事”。故选B。 【46题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我仍然因为那最初100美元定金而承诺去南犹他大学。A. initial最初的；B. precise精确的；C. minor次要的；D. apparent明显的。根据上文“I paid them my $100 commitment fee”可知，这笔100美元的费用是作者最早投入的成本，是“最初的”定金。且后文提到作者后来意识到即使“浪费”了这100美元，换学校也是更好的选择，进一步说明这是初始投入。故选A。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：现在看来，对我来说很明显，即使意味着承认我“浪费”了100美元，换学校也是一个更好的财务决定。A. attending参加；B. skipping跳过；C. switching转换，切换；D. visiting访问。根据下文“even if it meant admitting I’d “wasted” $100,”以及上文提到作者支付100美元定金承诺去南犹他大学可知，转学意味着浪费这100美元。故选C。 【48题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：现在看来，对我来说很明显，即使意味着承认我“浪费”了100美元，换学校也是一个更好的财务决定。A. financial财务的；B. impressive令人印象深刻的；C. physical身体的；D. striking显著的。上文“an even better scholarship with full fees”和“even if it meant admitting I’d “wasted” $100”可知，作者在比较两个选择的经济利益：一个是已付100美元定金，一个是获得全额奖学金的更好机会。因此，这是一个“财务”决定。故选A。 【49题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我不是唯一的受害者。A. consumer消费者；B. civilian平民；C. victim受害者；D. loser失败者。上文“It seems obvious to me now that ___7___ schools, even if it meant admitting I’d “wasted” $100, was a better ___7___ decision.”讲述了作者自己因沉没成本而做出错误决定的个人经历，下文则列举了其他人（如穿不喜欢的衣服、维持不健康关系）类似的普遍行为。因此，作者说“我不是唯一的受害者”，意指很多人都受困于“沉没成本谬论”。故选C。 【50题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：人们会穿自己不喜欢的衣服，因为他们为之花了钱；也会停留在不健康的关系中，因为他们在一起这么久了。A. competitions竞争；B. lifestyles生活方式；C. states状态；D. relationships关系。由下文“because they've been together for so long”可知，这里指的是人际“关系”，符合沉没成本谬论在情感领域的体现。故选D。 【51题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：你已经在某件事上投入了时间、精力或金钱，并不意味着你应该投入更多。A. inspect检查；B. invest投资，投入；C. possess拥有；D. pursue追求。此句是全文核心观点句，直接解释“沉没成本谬论”：已付出成本不应成为继续“投入”更多（时间、金钱、精力）的理由。“invest more”与上文的“sunk time, effort, or money into something”形成对应。故选B。 【52题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们的社会喜欢强调坚持尝试的决心。A. permission允许；B. curiosity好奇；C. determination决心；D. expectation期望。文章开头“I came across an image of a distance runner with a caption (说明文字) that told readers to keep going at all costs.”提到一张鼓励“不惜一切代价坚持下去”的跑步者图片，正是社会强调“坚持”文化的体现。因此，社会强调的是“坚持尝试的决心”。故选C。 【53题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：有时，在所有努力之后，离开才是最难的选择。A. breaking out爆发；B. walking away离开，放弃；C. giving in屈服；D. passing down传递。此处与上文“keep trying”社会强调的“坚持”形成对比，提出作者的相反观点：有时“离开”（即停止追加投入、放弃当前路径）才是最艰难但可能正确的选择。这正对应了克服“沉没成本谬论”需要做出的行动。故选B。 【54题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：你可能意识到你正在走的道路不再正确或从未正确过。A. realize意识到；B. doubt怀疑；C. prove证明；D. regret后悔。根据下文“a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was.”可知，当你决定“离开”一条道路时，前提是你“意识到”这条道路不适合你。这里描述的是做出正确判断的认知过程。故选A。 【55题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：那是一个痛苦的领悟。A. amusing有趣的；B. innovative创新的；C. delicate精致的；D. painful痛苦的。根据全文基调，承认自己过去的投入是“沉没成本”、承认自己走错了路、需要放弃已付出努力的事物，这种“领悟”通常是艰难且“痛苦的”。文章最后一句是对这种普遍感受的总结。故选D。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 The Industrial Revolution started in England in the 18th century. In the 19th century, it ____56____ (spread) to other European countries such as Belgium, France and Germany, and also the United States. The factory system was one fundamental change of the Industrial Revolution. This began with improvements in textile production in northern England. Machine designs ____57____ (reform) and the textile output increased ____58____ (consider). Previously, the work was done at home, but thanks to the machines, cloth could be made in factories, ____59____ each worker had a specialized role. Steam power was ____60____ important change. In 1712, Thomas Newcomen created the first practical steam engine. James Watt then greatly improved Newcomen’s engine, making it more suitable for industrial use in the late 18th century.

The 64. combined 65. as 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了 18 世纪始于英国的工业革命。 【56题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：19 世纪，它传播到了其他欧洲国家，如比利时、法国和德国，还有美国。根据时间状语“In the 19th century”可知，描述的是过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，spread 的过去式是spread。故填spread。 【57题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：机器设计得到了改良，纺织品产量大幅增加。Machine designs 和 reform 之间是被动关系，即“机器设计被改良”，且发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，be 动词用were。故填were reformed。 【58题详解】 考查副词。句意：机器设计得到了改良，纺织品产量大幅增加。这里用副词 considerably 修饰动词increased，表示“大量地，相当多地”。故填 considerably。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：以前，工作是在家里完成的，但由于有了这些机器，布料可以在工厂里生产，在工厂里每个工人都有专门的职责。先行词是factories，在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词 where 引导。故填where。 【60题详解】 考查冠词。句意：蒸汽动力是一项重要的变革。important 以元音音素开头，此处表示泛指 “一项重要的变革”，用不定冠 an。故填an。 【61题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：经过进一步的改进，蒸汽机在工厂和运输中被广泛使用，为各类机器提供动力。根据语境，这里表示在之前改进的基础上 “进一步的” 改进，用 far 的比较级 further。故填further。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：经过进一步的改进，蒸汽机在工厂和运输中被广泛使用，为各类机器提供动力。此处用动词不定式 to power 表示目的，即 “为了给各类机器提供动力”。故填to power。 【63题详解】 考查冠词。句意：从家庭手工业到工厂制度的转变，再加上新机器、新源和新运输方式的引入，促进了经济增长，扩大了世界贸易。这里特指 “从家庭手工业到工厂制度的转变”，用定冠词 The。首字母大写。故填The。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：从家庭手工业到工厂制度的转变，再加上新机器、新能源和新运输方式的引入，促进了经济增长，扩大了世界贸易。“shift”与 combine 之间是被动关系，即“转变被与…… 相结合”，所以用过去分词 combined 作后置定语修饰 shift。故填combined。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：这些发展反过来对整个社会产生了影响，带来了工业城市的快速发展和城市工人阶级的出现。“as a whole”是固定短语，意为“作为一个整体，总体上”。故填as。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分）（2025上学期高二·江苏扬州中学期中） 假定你是李华，你们班最近组织了一次“时间胶囊”活动，每位同学都存放了一件物品到一个密封的容器中，计划十年后打开。请你给英国朋友Chris写一封邮件分享这次活动，内容包括： （1）你存放的物品及理由； （2）你对此次活动的感想。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。Dear Chris, I’m excited to share with you the “Time Capsule” activity our class recently organized. ________ __________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Chris, I’m excited to share our class “time capsule” activity.

Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class. An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents， “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At first Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. ______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the chores. ______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness. Paragraph 2: But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Kayla不喜欢做家务，但是劳动节的时候，父亲却说为了庆祝劳动节，要打扫屋子。Kayla一开始感到失望，但是在做家务的过程中逐渐获得了快乐。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“起初，Kayla对父母的假期计划感到失望”可知，第一段可描写Kayla内心对这个计划的看法，她虽然反对，但是也别无选择。 ② 由第二段首句内容“但当她做家务时，情况开始发生变化”可知，第二段可描写Kayla在做家务过程中的感受，她发现了做家务的乐趣，觉得做家务有意义。 2. 续写线索： 感到失望——别无选择——开始做家务——发现乐趣——愉快完成——Kayla感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 反对：be against/be opposed to ② 开始：begin/start ③ 完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ① 快乐：pleasure/joy ② 困难：hard/tough 【点睛】 [高分句型1] She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work.
