Xmind This is an open source tool with some unique features. You can export any map in other formats — PDF, TXT, JPEG, etc. It has tree, logic and fishbone charts, for personal preference and depending upon your project. The basic account is free but, as you add features, the price can go up to $80. Mindmeister This tool is online, so that it can be accessed from anywhere and with any device. You can use it solo or collaborate with other students if you are involved in a group project. The live chat feature makes it even more attractive. Bubbl.us This is one of the simplest mind mapping tools to be found. Once you type your main idea or topic, the tree begins. You may then type in “sub-level” terms, and they are automatically placed. You can then move the bubbles around. There is also an auto-save feature and, because it is online, you can collaborate with others. The disadvantage of this app is that you cannot add images, links, or files unless you purchase the high-end version. MindMap This tool can be used locally or in the cloud and allows the printing and exporting of completed maps. The other great feature is that you can add text, images, links, etc. and customize (定制) color so that subtopics are easily recognizable. 1. What can we learn about Xmind? A. It remembers users’ preferences. B. It offers discounted memberships. C. It is independent of users’ project. D. It outputs completed maps in various forms. 2. What should you do if you want to use more functions of Bubbl.us? A. Pay extra money. B. Get a basic account. C. Update the software. D. Operate the tool online. 3. Which of the following is the feature of MindMap? A. Auto-save. B. Offline use. C. Multiple export formats. D. Live chat. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四款适合学生使用的免费思维导图工具及其特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Xmind部分中“You can export any map in other formats — PDF, TXT, JPEG, etc. (你可以以其他格式导出任何思维导图——PDF、TXT、JPEG等。)”可知，Xmind可以以各种形式输出完成的思维导图。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bubbl.us部分中“The disadvantage of this app is that you cannot add images, links, or files unless you purchase the high-end version. (这个应用程序的缺点是，除非你购买高端版本，否则你无法添加图片、链接或文件。)”可知，如果想使用Bubbl.us的更多功能，需要购买高端版本，即支付额外的钱。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据MindMap部分中“This tool can be used locally or in the cloud and allows the printing and exporting of completed maps. (该工具可本地使用或云端使用，并支持打印和导出已完成的思维导图)”可知，MindMap可以在没有网络的情况下使用，即离线使用。故选B。 B Farmers like Anthony and Juan Gabriel are celebrated examples of ordinary folk who believe you can do anything you set your mind on. The two brothers are the fourth generation from a 130-year-old family farm in Andalusia, Spain. When they took over the farm in 2005, the challenge they faced was common for most olive (橄榄) growers: they couldn’t sell their olive oil at its true price. As with wine, factors like organic or conventional, temperature and rainfall, regional differences, and the type of harvesting and extraction process, all have a huge effect on taste and aromas (香气). Olive oil producers, by contrast, can’t sell their story or try to differentiate like, for example, winemakers. It is a missed opportunity if you don’t learn how to communicate this to potential customers. Anthony and Juan choose to differentiate, advocating that “great taste is a result of working together with nature”. They promote techniques that benefit biodiversity. They apply advanced techniques to restore the soil, which in return produces the perfect fruit. Great taste is an easily made claim if you don’t have a certificate to prove it. So the brothers entered independent taste awards to back it up. In the last four years, they have been awarded by different international olive oil competitions, which have placed their product as one of the best organic olive oils in the world. Now, they are looking into Demeter and Bio Suisse, two leading organic farming certification standards, to make their oil stand out from the crowd in a more permanent way. The brothers sell their olive oil to stores and directly to consumers through their website. With a good product and a unique story, 35% of their sales now come from repeat customers. This allows them to grow their business at a steady pace. Anthony’s passion is confirmed once again when he tells the story of a loyal customer who hides the olive oil from her husband and says, “It’s too good to share.” 4. What does the underlined word “story” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Why the olive oil is produced. B. Where the olive oil originates. C. What makes the olive oil special. D. How customers like the olive oil. 5. Why do the Gabriel brothers use advanced techniques? A. To keep costs down. B. To produce more oil. C. To grow various olives. D. To practice sustainable farming. 6. How do the brothers make their olive oil’s quality convincing? A. By defining olive oil standards. B. By having it officially confirmed. C. By switching to organic farming. D. By expanding their business rapidly. 7. What does the last paragraph suggest about the brothers’ olive oil? A. It finally recovers the costs. B. It beats other olive oil brands. C. Differentiation helps it make a name. D. The consumer demand is hard to meet. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了西班牙一对兄弟接手家族橄榄农场后，通过坚持可持续种植、依靠权威认证证明品质、打造独特品牌故事，让自家橄榄油脱颖而出并深受消费者喜爱的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“As with wine, factors like organic or conventional, temperature and rainfall, regional differences, and the type of harvesting and extraction process, all have a huge effect on taste and aromas. Olive oil producers, by contrast, can’t sell their story or try to differentiate like, for example, winemakers.(和葡萄酒一样，有机或常规种植、温度与降雨、地域差异、采摘和压榨方式等因素都会对口感和香气产生巨大影响。相比之下，橄榄油生产商却无法像酿酒师那样推销自身story、实现产品差异化)”可知，此处story指让橄榄油与众不同、品质独特的相关特质。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They promote techniques that benefit biodiversity. They apply advanced techniques to restore the soil, which in return produces the perfect fruit.(他们推广有利于生物多样性的技术，运用先进技术改良土壤，进而培育出优质果实)”可知，兄弟二人使用先进技术是为了践行可持续农业。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Great taste is an easily made claim if you don’t have a certificate to prove it. So the brothers entered independent taste awards to back it up. In the last four years, they have been awarded by different international olive oil competitions.(如果没有证书证明，口感好只是一句空话。因此兄弟俩参加各类独立品鉴赛事以证实品质，过去四年他们多次斩获国际橄榄油大赛奖项)”可知，他们通过官方认证让橄榄油品质更具说服力。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With a good product and a unique story, 35% of their sales now come from repeat customers.(凭借优质产品和独特品质，他们35%的销售额来自回头客)”以及顾客对产品的高度认可可知，差异化经营让这款橄榄油声名远扬。故选C。 C Britain’s unique take on humor may seem confusing at first. But fear not, we’ve put together a beginner’s guide to understanding it. The key to understanding British humor is not to take it too seriously. Their humor is to highlight their own faults. They make light of their own failures so as to appear more humble, approachable and relatable. There is no room for egos (自尊) in British humor. Embarrassing moments are common self-deprecation (自嘲) material. Self-deprecation mixed with sarcasm (讽刺) forms the key of British humor. Sarcasm and irony are rooted in their DNA. Their humor is produced with world-class timing and nearly always with an expressionless delivery that will leave you wondering whether it was indeed a joke. Sarcasm can be hard to spot in a new language and a new culture, and in Britain the usual clues of overstatement and an overemphasis on adjectives are stressed even less, making it harder to pick up. Luckily, sarcasm is used so often in day-to-day life that you will soon be a natural at detecting it. Being polite by nature, Brits may playfully “offend” people they like with tongue-in-cheek comments. These are not mean, but a light verbal exchange with a smile, which can bridge differences and start conversations, though such comments need to suit the occasion. Brits find humor in almost everything. Brits use humor to lighten even the most unfortunate, miserable moments. There are few subjects they don’t joke about. Brits turn to laughter as a form of medicine when life knocks them and those around them down. In most cultures, there is a time and place for humor. In Britain, this is not the case. 8. What do Brits tend to do according to paragraph 2? A. Make fun of themselves. B. Laugh at others’ failures. C. Pay attention to their egos. D. Avoid embarrassing experiences. 9. What do we learn about Brits’ sarcasm? A. It’s regarded as impolite. B. It’s shown with overstatement. C. It’s delivered in noticeable ways. D. It’s quite common among the Brits. 10. What can we learn about Brits from the last paragraph? A. They often tell jokes improperly. B. They have an optimistic attitude to life. C. They like to argue with others humorously. D. They show their sense of humor on specific occasions. 11. Which can be the suitable title for the text? A. Where Do the Brits Find Humor? B. Why Are the Brits So Humorous? C. How Do We Understand British Humor? D. What Makes British Humor So Puzzling? 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英式幽默的特点，包括自嘲、讽刺、轻松调侃以及随时随地开玩笑等，帮助读者理解英式幽默。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The key to understanding British humor is not to take it too seriously. Their humor is to highlight their own faults. They make light of their own failures so as to appear more humble, approachable and relatable.(理解英式幽默的关键是不要太当真。他们的幽默是为了突出自己的缺点。他们对自己的失败一笑置之，以便显得更谦逊、平易近人、和蔼可亲。)”可知，英国人倾向于拿自己开玩笑。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sarcasm can be hard to spot in a new language and a new culture, and in Britain the usual clues of overstatement and an overemphasis on adjectives are stressed even less, making it harder to pick up. Luckily, sarcasm is used so often in day-to-day life that you will soon be a natural at detecting it.(讽刺在新语言和新文化中可能很难发现，在英国，通常的夸大其词和对形容词的过度强调的线索甚至更少被强调，这使得更难发现。幸运的是，讽刺在日常生活中经常被使用，你很快就会自然而然地发现它。)”可知，讽刺在英国人中很常见。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Brits find humor in almost everything. Brits use humor to lighten even the most unfortunate, miserable moments. There are few subjects they don’t joke about. Brits turn to laughter as a form of medicine when life knocks them and those around them down.(英国人几乎在所有事情上都能找到幽默。英国人用幽默来减轻甚至最不幸、最痛苦的时刻。几乎没有他们不开玩笑的话题。当生活把他们和他们周围的人击倒时，英国人把笑声当作一种良药。)”可知，英国人对生活持乐观态度。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Britain’s unique take on humor may seem confusing at first. But fear not, we’ve put together a beginner’s guide to understanding it.(英国独特的幽默感一开始可能会让人感到困惑。但别担心，我们整理了一份理解它的入门指南。)”以及下文对英式幽默的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了如何理解英式幽默。故选C项。 D Although picture quality has improved greatly with the development of flat-screen televisions, sound has taken a dive. The problem is that TVs with slimmed-down screens have insufficient room for good speakers to be fitted to them, either at the back or in the frame. Such televisions are therefore usually connected to an external sound system to improve their sound quality. Early TV loudspeakers were as big as the screen, but engineers have got good at making speakers smaller and explored new sound-producing methods, like employing an actuator (致动器) to vibrate (振动) a flexible panel. That raises the question: Why not vibrate the TV screen itself? And this is just what a couple of television-makers are now doing. Company A was the first to announce it had developed such a system, which is called Acoustic Surface. It is now fitting this to some of its luxurious televisions. Acoustic Surface employs a pair of actuators to vibrate a screen made with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Unlike screens that employ regular inorganic LEDs as a backlight, OLEDs give off their light directly. This means OLED screens have few layers — and that, in turn, means they can be more flexible and are able to vibrate more easily. This vibration is invisible to the viewer and does not affect picture quality. One beneficial consequence is that a program’s soundtrack is broadcast directly to the viewer instead of from the side, as is the case with separate speakers. The other version on offer is Cinematic Sound from Company B. This includes, as one of the screen’s layers, a 600-micron-thick film that works as an “exciter” to vibrate the display. They are all very attractive and have caught most people’s attention. However, those who are enthusiastic about accurate sound reproduction still prefer separate sound systems. 12. What is a problem with flat-screen televisions? A. They have poor sound quality. B. They offer low picture quality. C. They can’t meet viewers’ demands. D. They can’t be connected to external sound systems. 13. What makes OLED screens suitable for Acoustic Surface? A. Their large size. B. Their few layers. C. Their flexible structure. D. Their direct light emission. 14. What do Acoustic Surface and Cinematic Sound have in common? A. They use fewer actuators. B. They employ thin films as exciters. C. They produce sound by vibrating the TV screen. D. They guarantee the soundtracks broadcast from the side. 15. What can we infer about people who pursue precise sound effect? A. They like slim flat-screen TVs best. B. They don’t care about TV picture quality. C. They are satisfied with early TV loudspeakers. D. They won’t choose screen-vibrating sound systems. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了平板电视在声音质量方面存在的问题，以及两家公司为改善这一问题所采用的新技术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Although picture quality has improved greatly with the development of flat-screen televisions, sound has taken a dive.(尽管随着平板电视的发展，图像质量有了很大提高，但声音质量却大幅下降。)”可知，平板电视的问题是声音质量很差。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Acoustic Surface employs a pair of actuators to vibrate a screen made with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Unlike screens that employ regular inorganic LEDs as a backlight, OLEDs give off their light directly. This means OLED screens have few layers — and that, in turn, means they can be more flexible and are able to vibrate more easily.(Acoustic Surface使用一对致动器来振动由有机发光二极管（OLED）制成的屏幕。与使用常规无机LED作为背光的屏幕不同，OLED直接发光。这意味着OLED屏幕的层数很少——反过来，这意味着它们可以更灵活，更容易振动。)”可知，OLED屏幕适合用于Acoustic Surface是因为它们的层数少。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Acoustic Surface employs a pair of actuators to vibrate a screen made with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).(Acoustic Surface使用一对致动器来振动由有机发光二极管（OLED）制成的屏幕。)”和第四段“The other version on offer is Cinematic Sound from Company B. This includes, as one of the screen’s layers, a 600-micron-thick film that works as an “exciter” to vibrate the display.(另一种选择是来自B公司的Cinematic Sound。这包括作为屏幕层之一的一个600微米厚的薄膜，它作为“激励器”来振动显示屏。)”可知，Acoustic Surface和Cinematic Sound的共同点是它们通过振动电视屏幕来产生声音。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, those who are enthusiastic about accurate sound reproduction still prefer separate sound systems.(然而，那些热衷于精确声音再现的人仍然更喜欢单独的音响系统。)”可推测，那些追求精确音效的人不会选择屏幕振动音响系统。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understanding articles on cutting-edge technology, such as artificial intelligence or quantum (量子) computing, demands targeted strategies as follows that go far beyondgeneral reading comprehension skills. ● Preview to Identify Structure Before focusing on a close reading, invest time in previewing the entire article. Note all section headings and their logical order. This initial mapping is not merely passive viewing; it actively prepares your mind to follow the author’s logical framework, whether it presents a cause-effect chain, or a problem-solution model. ____16____ ● Question the Evidence and Data Merely understanding the surface claim of a technological breakthrough is far from sufficient for true comprehension. ____17____ You must develop a habit of checking the data sources, sample sizes, and the presence of control groups. This critical method, questioning how conclusions are reached, is what separates an informed reader from one who simply accepts information at face value, especially when findings seem revolutionary. ● ____18____ Beyond the stated facts and figures, a deeper layer of understanding involves analyzing the author’s perspective and intention. ____19____ Is the language overstating, cautiously optimistic, or objective? Identifying these tiny differences, including the choice of persuasive adjectives or the structure of argumentation, reveals the intended influence on the reader and provides crucial context for evaluating the information’s objectivity and potential bias. ● Integrate and Seek Connections Finally, to move from separate facts to integrated knowledge, actively connect this new information to your existing mental models. ____20____ Does this new discovery confirm, challenge, or entirely expand upon established principles? Engaging in this process, that is, asking how it fits into the broader scientific or technological landscape, transforms an individual data point into meaningful, long-lasting understanding and insight. A. Analyze how the writer starts. B. A doubting approach is essential. C. Explore the writer’s hidden information. D. This means relating it to known principles. E.

David stopped by and found a large metal disc (圆盘) very special. It weighed around 30 pounds and measured about 30 inches across, covered in thousands of precisely designed Chinese characters. It was nothing like anything he had ever seen before, yet David knew for sure it was part of a Chinese typewriter. He offered $17 — all the cash in his wallet — and rolled the disc to his car. Back home, he kept the beloved collection in a workshop among tools, car parts and poetry magazines. Last summer, the local library was planning an exhibition of historic typewriters. David remembered his disc and took it to consult Kathryn Dillon, a technician at the library. Dillon thought it was so beautiful and so unusual but she knew little about it. She realized it needed to be figured out. So she sent photos of the disc to Tom Mullaney, a professor and historian in Stanford University. It was a shocking moment for Mullaney when he saw the pictures, because he knew it was the key part of the first Chinese typewriter, MingKwai. Mullaney once wrote a book on the MingKwai so he knew the story of it quite well. The MingKwai, meaning “clear and fast” in Chinese, was proof of a far more elegant possibility. Produced in 1947, it had only 72 keys. The typewriter’s inventor was the well-known Chinese writer, translator and linguist Lin Yutang. For some reasons, the MingKwai was never mass-produced. The MingKwai simply disappeared, but its significance lived on. It’s the great-great parent of the entire Chinese digital age, at least in terms of human-computer interaction. Now that the key part of the first Chinese typewriter was rediscovered, Mullaney wouldn’t let it disappear again. He responded at once. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Knowing the disc was on display in the library, Mullaney immediately went there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the exhibition, David decided to donate it to Stanford for further research. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Knowing the disc was on display in the library, Mullaney immediately went there. Mullaney, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, examined the disc carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the missing part of the MingKwai typewriter. He was thrilled to see it in person and thanked David for preserving such a valuable piece of history. Mullaney explained the significance of the disc, saying that it was not just a relic but a key to understanding the early days of Chinese typing technology. After the exhibition, David decided to donate it to Stanford for further research. He believed that the disc belonged in a place where it could be studied and appreciated by more people. Mullaney was grateful for David’s generosity and promised that the disc would be used to shed light on the history of Chinese typewriters. He said that what David did was really meaningful, for it would help more people learn about the history of Chinese typewriters. With David’s donation, the research on the MingKwai typewriter could continue, and its story could be shared with the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物和物品为线索展开，讲述了David偶然购得一个看似普通的金属圆盘，实则是首款中文打字机“明快”的关键部件。当地图书馆计划展出历史打字机时，David带着圆盘去咨询，意外被斯坦福大学教授Tom Mullaney认出。Mullaney深知其重要性，决定不让这份历史遗产再次消失。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Mullaney得知这个圆盘正在图书馆展出，便立刻赶了过去。”可知，第一段可描写Mullaney赶到图书馆后，仔细研究圆盘，并确认其身份，同时与David交流，表达感激之情。 ②由第二段首句内容“展览结束后，David决定将其捐赠给斯坦福大学以供进一步研究。”可知，第二段可描写捐赠后，Mullaney和团队对圆盘进行深入研究，并揭示其历史价值，同时表达对David的感谢。 2.续写线索：赶到图书馆——确认圆盘身份——与David交流——捐赠圆盘——深入研究——揭示历史价值——表达感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①仔细研究：examine carefully/study in detail ②解释：explain/account for/clarify ③继续：continue/proceed/go on 情绪类 ①激动：thrilled/excited ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mullaney, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, examined the disc carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the missing part of the MingKwai typewriter.(运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句和that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Mullaney explained the significance of the disc, saying that it was not just a relic but a key to understanding the early days of Chinese typing technology.(运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 达州市普通高中2026届第二次诊断测试 英语试题 （本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的班级、姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并检查条形码粘贴是否正确。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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.

Xmind This is an open source tool with some unique features. You can export any map in other formats — PDF, TXT, JPEG, etc. It has tree, logic and fishbone charts, for personal preference and depending upon your project. The basic account is free but, as you add features, the price can go up to $80. Mindmeister This tool is online, so that it can be accessed from anywhere and with any device. You can use it solo or collaborate with other students if you are involved in a group project. The live chat feature makes it even more attractive. Bubbl.us This is one of the simplest mind mapping tools to be found. Once you type your main idea or topic, the tree begins. You may then type in “sub-level” terms, and they are automatically placed. You can then move the bubbles around. There is also an auto-save feature and, because it is online, you can collaborate with others. The disadvantage of this app is that you cannot add images, links, or files unless you purchase the high-end version. MindMap This tool can be used locally or in the cloud and allows the printing and exporting of completed maps.

B Farmers like Anthony and Juan Gabriel are celebrated examples of ordinary folk who believe you can do anything you set your mind on. The two brothers are the fourth generation from a 130-year-old family farm in Andalusia, Spain. When they took over the farm in 2005, the challenge they faced was common for most olive (橄榄) growers: they couldn’t sell their olive oil at its true price. As with wine, factors like organic or conventional, temperature and rainfall, regional differences, and the type of harvesting and extraction process, all have a huge effect on taste and aromas (香气). Olive oil producers, by contrast, can’t sell their story or try to differentiate like, for example, winemakers. It is a missed opportunity if you don’t learn how to communicate this to potential customers. Anthony and Juan choose to differentiate, advocating that “great taste is a result of working together with nature”. They promote techniques that benefit biodiversity. They apply advanced techniques to restore the soil, which in return produces the perfect fruit. Great taste is an easily made claim if you don’t have a certificate to prove it. So the brothers entered independent taste awards to back it up. In the last four years, they have been awarded by different international olive oil competitions, which have placed their product as one of the best organic olive oils in the world. Now, they are looking into Demeter and Bio Suisse, two leading organic farming certification standards, to make their oil stand out from the crowd in a more permanent way. The brothers sell their olive oil to stores and directly to consumers through their website. With a good product and a unique story, 35% of their sales now come from repeat customers. This allows them to grow their business at a steady pace. Anthony’s passion is confirmed once again when he tells the story of a loyal customer who hides the olive oil from her husband and says, “It’s too good to share.” 4. What does the underlined word “story” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Why the olive oil is produced. B. Where the olive oil originates. C. What makes the olive oil special. D. How customers like the olive oil. 5. Why do the Gabriel brothers use advanced techniques? A. To keep costs down. B. To produce more oil. C. To grow various olives. D. To practice sustainable farming. 6. How do the brothers make their olive oil’s quality convincing? A. By defining olive oil standards. B. By having it officially confirmed. C. By switching to organic farming. D. By expanding their business rapidly. 7. What does the last paragraph suggest about the brothers’ olive oil? A. It finally recovers the costs. B. It beats other olive oil brands. C. Differentiation helps it make a name. D. The consumer demand is hard to meet. C Britain’s unique take on humor may seem confusing at first. But fear not, we’ve put together a beginner’s guide to understanding it. The key to understanding British humor is not to take it too seriously. Their humor is to highlight their own faults. They make light of their own failures so as to appear more humble, approachable and relatable. There is no room for egos (自尊) in British humor. Embarrassing moments are common self-deprecation (自嘲) material. Self-deprecation mixed with sarcasm (讽刺) forms the key of British humor. Sarcasm and irony are rooted in their DNA. Their humor is produced with world-class timing and nearly always with an expressionless delivery that will leave you wondering whether it was indeed a joke. Sarcasm can be hard to spot in a new language and a new culture, and in Britain the usual clues of overstatement and an overemphasis on adjectives are stressed even less, making it harder to pick up. Luckily, sarcasm is used so often in day-to-day life that you will soon be a natural at detecting it. Being polite by nature, Brits may playfully “offend” people they like with tongue-in-cheek comments. These are not mean, but a light verbal exchange with a smile, which can bridge differences and start conversations, though such comments need to suit the occasion. Brits find humor in almost everything. Brits use humor to lighten even the most unfortunate, miserable moments. There are few subjects they don’t joke about. Brits turn to laughter as a form of medicine when life knocks them and those around them down. In most cultures, there is a time and place for humor. In Britain, this is not the case. 8. What do Brits tend to do according to paragraph 2? A. Make fun of themselves. B. Laugh at others’ failures. C. Pay attention to their egos. D. Avoid embarrassing experiences. 9. What do we learn about Brits’ sarcasm? A. It’s regarded as impolite. B. It’s shown with overstatement. C. It’s delivered in noticeable ways. D. It’s quite common among the Brits. 10. What can we learn about Brits from the last paragraph? A. They often tell jokes improperly. B. They have an optimistic attitude to life. C. They like to argue with others humorously. D. They show their sense of humor on specific occasions. 11. Which can be the suitable title for the text? A. Where Do the Brits Find Humor? B. Why Are the Brits So Humorous? C. How Do We Understand British Humor? D. What Makes British Humor So Puzzling? D Although picture quality has improved greatly with the development of flat-screen televisions, sound has taken a dive. The problem is that TVs with slimmed-down screens have insufficient room for good speakers to be fitted to them, either at the back or in the frame. Such televisions are therefore usually connected to an external sound system to improve their sound quality. Early TV loudspeakers were as big as the screen, but engineers have got good at making speakers smaller and explored new sound-producing methods, like employing an actuator (致动器) to vibrate (振动) a flexible panel. That raises the question: Why not vibrate the TV screen itself? And this is just what a couple of television-makers are now doing. Company A was the first to announce it had developed such a system, which is called Acoustic Surface. It is now fitting this to some of its luxurious televisions. Acoustic Surface employs a pair of actuators to vibrate a screen made with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Unlike screens that employ regular inorganic LEDs as a backlight, OLEDs give off their light directly. This means OLED screens have few layers — and that, in turn, means they can be more flexible and are able to vibrate more easily. This vibration is invisible to the viewer and does not affect picture quality. One beneficial consequence is that a program’s soundtrack is broadcast directly to the viewer instead of from the side, as is the case with separate speakers. The other version on offer is Cinematic Sound from Company B. This includes, as one of the screen’s layers, a 600-micron-thick film that works as an “exciter” to vibrate the display. They are all very attractive and have caught most people’s attention. However, those who are enthusiastic about accurate sound reproduction still prefer separate sound systems. 12. What is a problem with flat-screen televisions? A. They have poor sound quality. B. They offer low picture quality. C. They can’t meet viewers’ demands. D. They can’t be connected to external sound systems. 13. What makes OLED screens suitable for Acoustic Surface? A. Their large size. B. Their few layers. C. Their flexible structure. D. Their direct light emission. 14. What do Acoustic Surface and Cinematic Sound have in common? A. They use fewer actuators. B. They employ thin films as exciters. C. They produce sound by vibrating the TV screen. D. They guarantee the soundtracks broadcast from the side. 15. What can we infer about people who pursue precise sound effect? A. They like slim flat-screen TVs best. B. They don’t care about TV picture quality. C. They are satisfied with early TV loudspeakers. D. They won’t choose screen-vibrating sound systems. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Understanding articles on cutting-edge technology, such as artificial intelligence or quantum (量子) computing, demands targeted strategies as follows that go far beyondgeneral reading comprehension skills. ● Preview to Identify Structure Before focusing on a close reading, invest time in previewing the entire article. Note all section headings and their logical order. This initial mapping is not merely passive viewing; it actively prepares your mind to follow the author’s logical framework, whether it presents a cause-effect chain, or a problem-solution model. ____16____ ● Question the Evidence and Data Merely understanding the surface claim of a technological breakthrough is far from sufficient for true comprehension. ____17____ You must develop a habit of checking the data sources, sample sizes, and the presence of control groups. This critical method, questioning how conclusions are reached, is what separates an informed reader from one who simply accepts information at face value, especially when findings seem revolutionary. ● ____18____ Beyond the stated facts and figures, a deeper layer of understanding involves analyzing the author’s perspective and intention. ____19____ Is the language overstating, cautiously optimistic, or objective? Identifying these tiny differences, including the choice of persuasive adjectives or the structure of argumentation, reveals the intended influence on the reader and provides crucial context for evaluating the information’s objectivity and potential bias. ● Integrate and Seek Connections Finally, to move from separate facts to integrated knowledge, actively connect this new information to your existing mental models. ____20____ Does this new discovery confirm, challenge, or entirely expand upon established principles? Engaging in this process, that is, asking how it fits into the broader scientific or technological landscape, transforms an individual data point into meaningful, long-lasting understanding and insight. A. Analyze how the writer starts. B. A doubting approach is essential. C. Explore the writer’s hidden information. D. This means relating it to known principles. E. Grasping the core argument precisely is the first goal. F. Telling fact reporting from persuading intention comes first. G. Understanding this outline is fundamental for further reading. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One misty morning, farmer Ramesan and his wife, Padmam, were harvesting black peppers on their land.

David stopped by and found a large metal disc (圆盘) very special. It weighed around 30 pounds and measured about 30 inches across, covered in thousands of precisely designed Chinese characters. It was nothing like anything he had ever seen before, yet David knew for sure it was part of a Chinese typewriter. He offered $17 — all the cash in his wallet — and rolled the disc to his car. Back home, he kept the beloved collection in a workshop among tools, car parts and poetry magazines. Last summer, the local library was planning an exhibition of historic typewriters. David remembered his disc and took it to consult Kathryn Dillon, a technician at the library. Dillon thought it was so beautiful and so unusual but she knew little about it. She realized it needed to be figured out. So she sent photos of the disc to Tom Mullaney, a professor and historian in Stanford University. It was a shocking moment for Mullaney when he saw the pictures, because he knew it was the key part of the first Chinese typewriter, MingKwai. Mullaney once wrote a book on the MingKwai so he knew the story of it quite well. The MingKwai, meaning “clear and fast” in Chinese, was proof of a far more elegant possibility. Produced in 1947, it had only 72 keys. The typewriter’s inventor was the well-known Chinese writer, translator and linguist Lin Yutang. For some reasons, the MingKwai was never mass-produced. The MingKwai simply disappeared, but its significance lived on. It’s the great-great parent of the entire Chinese digital age, at least in terms of human-computer interaction. Now that the key part of the first Chinese typewriter was rediscovered, Mullaney wouldn’t let it disappear again. He responded at once. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Knowing the disc was on display in the library, Mullaney immediately went there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the exhibition, David decided to donate it to Stanford for further research. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
