Here is a list of top things to do at Mount Rushmore. Grand View Terrace This is the main viewing platform. From here, you have a clear view of the four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, from left to right. These four presidents were chosen because they represent the nation’s birth, growth, development, and preservation. It took 14 years to carve the entire sculpture, with the project lasting from 1927 to 1941. Presidential Trail This trail leads up to the base of the mountain for close-up views of the sculpture. Along the way, you can learn more about the four presidents on the informational signs. This trail is 0.6 miles long with 422 steps. Lighting Ceremony From late-May through the end of September, you can watch the 45-minute ceremony as the lights turn on, illuminating (照明) the faces of the four presidents. From late-May through mid-August, this is held at 9 pm and from mid-August through September 30, the lighting ceremony is held at 8 pm. For the remainder of the year the sculpture is still illuminated, but there is no ceremony. Hours of Operation November 1-March 9 6 am to 9 pm March 10-September 30 5 am to 11 pm October 1-October 31 5 am to 9 pm There is no entrance fee to enter Mount Rushmore. However, you do have to pay a $10 parking fee per vehicle. 21. Who is at the right end of the sculpture? A. George Washington. B. Abraham Lincoln. C. Theodore Roosevelt. D. Thomas Jefferson. 22. When is the lighting ceremony unavailable? A. From October 1 to mid-May. B. From mid-August to September 30. C. From late-June to mid-August. D. From late-May to the end of September. 23. What can be learned about Mount Rushmore? A. The parking is free. B. The entrance fee is $10. C. It was created in 1942. D. It is open all year round. B At first glance, Rossa and Ronnie looked like any other orangutan mother and daughter: They traveled together by day, and slept in the same nest at night. Rossa carried Ronnie around the forest. When Ronnie took a fruit from Rossa’s hand, the older female let her do it. But to biologist Amy Scott, a key detail didn’t quite add up: The mother looked too young. “How can Rossa have such a big daughter?” wondered Scott, who has been leading a project to study orangutans since 1994 in Indonesia’s Gunung Palung National Park, where Rossa and Ronnie live. So she analyzed their DNA samples and discovered that Rossa and Ronnie shared a mother named Veli, who hadn’t been seen since 2016. “Veli had a daughter, Vanna, who was 4 years old when I last spotted the pair,” said Scott. “Having compared their genetic samples, I am sure that Vanna and Ronnie are actually the same orangutan.” When Ronnie was first spotted with Rossa in 2017, the older sister was about 12 years old, and the younger sister was about 5. Perhaps, the two sisters reunited and Rossa began treating Ronnie like a daughter after their mother left. Ronnie wouldn’t have survived without her big sister being there and choosing to care for her. Although adoptions have been found in other great apes, it’s the first detailed report of adoption among orangutans — whose unique lifestyle might make it especially hard for a baby orangutan to survive without the mother’s protection. “All great apes are highly dependent on their mothers, but orangutans take the longest to wean (断奶). Orangutan mothers have been observed nursing the young for as long as nine years. Unlike chimpanzees or bonobos, which live in groups, orangutan mothers usually nurse their babies on their own,” added Scott. 24. What do the underlined words “add up” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Make sense. B. Include something extra. C. Seem unnatural. D. Help to emphasize a point. 25. When was probably Vanna born? A. In 2002. B. In 2005. C. In 2012. D. In 2014. 26. Which of the follow best describes orangutans? A. Orangutan mothers seem to be social animals. B. It takes a long time for orangutans to grow up. C. Young female orangutans are ideal baby-sitters. D. Orangutans, chimpanzees and bonobos are friends. 27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Environment. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Wildlife. C In Chris Schaffer’s biomedical engineering class at Cornell University, the exams involve no pen or paper. The students are only required to speak directly to an instructor in what he calls an “oral defense”. It’s a testing method as old as Socrates, and a growing number of college professors are turning to it to address a crisis in the AI age: Take-home essays and other written assignments are coming back perfect, but when students are asked to explain their work, they can’t. In his biomedical engineering class, Schaffer requires students to sign up for 20-minute sessions of Socratic-style questioning after submitting their written problem sets, which are assigned several times each semester. With a class of 70 students, Schaffer divides the job among his teaching assistants. They no longer grade the written problem sets, just the oral defenses. “It comes across as if we’re trying to prevent cheating,” Schaffer says. “That’s not why we’re doing this. We’re doing this because students increasingly see the hard work of thinking as optional.” Schaffer’s class is part of a massive shift toward in-person assessments, both written and oral, at Cornell University. The Ivy League school is one of a small but growing number of universities that have started adopting oral exams. “Skeptics point out that oral exams can be unsettling for students who are shy or have serious anxiety,” says Carolyn Aslan, who leads Cornell’s oral exam training. “Actually, it’s good to get those quiet students one-on-one, and you finally get to hear from them. I think that is the breakthrough.” Many of Schaffer’s students say they feel nervous at first but end up preferring the oral exam. “I honestly like it a lot,” says Olivia Piserchia, a biomedical engineering major. “I initially find the oral defense nerve-wracking, but I have come to value the one-on-one time with instructors. It has kept me from feeling lost in a large class and helped me build the skill of demonstrating my technical knowledge, as I will need to in the future.” 28. What can be inferred about the US students from the first paragraph? A. They refuse to do their homework. B. They have become very creative. C. They are falling victims to AI tools. D. They are addicted to low-tech devices. 29. What is Schaffer’s main purpose in adopting the in-person assessments? A. To share workloads among teachers. B. To improve students’ debating skills. C. To detect cheating in the homework. D. To force students to think independently. 30. What is Carolyn Aslan’s and Piserchia’s attitude to the oral defense? A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Unclear. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Do College Students React to the Oral Defense? B. Why Are Some Colleges Turning to Oral Assignments? C. What Is the Crisis in The US Higher Education System? D. Who Will Benefit From the One-on-one Oral Exam Most? D If you’re looking for someone to debate the new Wuthering Heights movie with, you might want to start with Lucasta Miller. She’s a British author, editor and critic who has published a well-known study of Emily Bronte and wrote an introduction for the Penguin Classics edition of Wuthering Heights. When she had the chance to see Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel last week, she was well aware of the liberties taken by the director, but was unbothered. “It would be meaningless to criticize it for that, just as it would be unreasonable to criticize an opera that changed the original plot,” Miller said. “I do not ask for a faithful adaptation of Wuthering Heights, but I value whether it works on its own terms. And my sense is that it does.” Fennell’s Wuthering Heights was the box office leader last weekend, bringing in more than $34 million in North America alone, despite mostly negative reviews that found the movie both overdone and unsatisfying. Even before its release, Brontë fans questioned some of Fennell’s choices: having the famously dark-haired Cathy played by the blond Margot Robbie; casting Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff instead of a dark-skinned actor closer to how Brontë described the character. Authors have long been unsatisfied with adaptions. But countless adaptations have served as showcases for innovative license. Billy Wilder’s film version of the James Cain’s Double Indemnity had the main character tell his story through a dictation machine, an innovation that Cain himself thought so smart that he wished he had used it in the book. “You know, the book is mine and it’s my baby. But the film is Billy’s adaptation,” Cain told The Associated Press in December. “And the film feels not like my child, more like a kind of niece or nephew. And that’s exactly as it should be.” Fennell recalled during a recent interview that she was inspired by her early memories of the novel. “There are things I added for my own needs, because I loved the book very much when I was still a teenager, and I always desperately needed some kind of sense for it to go a little further,” she admitted. 32. Why is Lucasta Miller mentioned in the text? A. She is a famous director. B. She helped edit Wuthering Heights. C. She wrote the classic novel. D. She is an authority on Emily Brontë. 33. What can be learned about the new Wuthering Heights movie? A. It is not well accepted by the market. B. It does not follow the original plot strictly. C. It is based on the Penguin Classics edition. D. It receives an unfavorable review from Fennell. 34. How did James Cain feel about the addition of the dictation machine in the movie? A. Excited. B. Bothered. C. Regretful. D. Calm. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Guidelines for adaptions. B. Fennell’s childhood. C. Inspiration for the adaption. D. Fennell’s future plan. 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。 Many people in China live up to 100 years or more thanks to the following traditions and habits that support both physical and mental health.

But the moment he opened the door, he froze there. The room was simply a disaster! Empty snack bags and pizza boxes littered the floor, and the shared trash bin overflowed. The smell was even worse. But what struck him hardest was his desk: His prized copy of The Princeton Companion to Mathematics lay face down, with a huge drop of coffee on it. He picked it up, but the pages stuck together. For a long moment, he simply stood there. “Andy! You’re back!” Eric entered and shouted excitedly. “How was —” He stopped suddenly. His gaze shifted from Andy’s face to the garbage, then to the ruined book. His smile disappeared. “Sorry!” Eric apologized. “I promise I’ll buy you a new one.” Andy looked at Eric, the same guy who had shown him around campus, helped him through homesickness and never made him feel like a foreigner. Sure, Eric was a nice friend, but he was also a very messy roommate. Andy had kept quiet about it for months, not wanting to cause trouble. Now, holding his ruined book, he knew what should be done. “I don’t want you to buy me a new book,” Andy said, setting the damaged copy carefully on the desk. “You don’t?” Eric asked. “But I ruined it. I should —” “I want to make a rule, for both of us,” Andy interrupted. “If we’re going to live together, we need this place to be clean. Not just sometimes. Always.” Eric looked around the room, as if seeing it for the first time. “You’re right,” Eric said guiltily. “I’ve been a terrible roommate. And you’ve been too nice to say anything. What is your suggestion?” “Let’s clean up the room first,” Andy said quietly. “I will figure it out while we are working.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They rolled up their sleeves and set out to work._______________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy took a piece of paper and wrote a simple roommate agreement._______________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三年级四月测试 英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How is the weather now?

A study published in Child Development found that children who regularly take on household responsibilities are more likely to be ambitious and independent adults. W: That makes sense, but how do I get them to do chores without constant arguing? M: The key is to match tasks to the child’s age. For younger kids, start with small jobs — like having a 2-or 3-year-old put away toys. Around 10 or 11, they can handle changing bed sheets. W: And how do I keep them motivated? M: Start by making chores fun, turning them into a game. Also, praise their effort — a star chart can work well. But most importantly, and this is often overlooked: Be the example you want your children to follow. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. What is the most important for Eli Zied now? A. Study. B.

Eli, how do you balance your academic life with your business goals? M: As a student, getting good grades is still my main priority. W: What were some of the first things you did to start your business in the very beginning? M: I started out creating designs and making logos, and then my older brother Spencer came to help me with the business. We got the ball rolling by selling to our classmates, relatives, and the like. W: What was the biggest challenge along the way? M: I’d say the biggest issue was the risk of buying large quantities of materials to be more cost-efficient. We had to be confident that people would like and buy our products. So we ran online surveys among our early followers to get a better sense of what they wanted. W: You’ve gained lots of publicity through celebrities and influencers, ranging from NBA athletes to singers. How did you go about creating such a wide base? M: I basically contacted many athletes, musicians, and others with strong online influence. Having influencers wear our products has been one of the biggest drivers of growth.

Our speaker, Dr. Susan Martin, is a renowned expert in time management. She has written several bestselling books on the topic, including The Focused Mind, which shows readers how to master their attention, and Time for What Matters, a practical guide to priority-based living. Both works have been translated into multiple languages and are reaching a global readership. The presentation will last for about 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. During the talk, Dr. Martin will cover key strategies, including setting clear goals, prioritizing tasks, and using time blocking techniques. These methods are designed to increase efficiency and create space for meaningful activities, and, above all, to reduce stress — a benefit that many find both fresh and valuable. To make the most of this session, please type your questions into the chat box throughout the presentation. I will select some of the most representative questions, and Dr. Martin will address them after her talk. Thank you again for being here — let’s begin. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A When you visit Mount Rushmore, there is a lot more to do than just walk up, see the four presidents, take a picture and leave. Here is a list of top things to do at Mount Rushmore. Grand View Terrace This is the main viewing platform. From here, you have a clear view of the four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, from left to right. These four presidents were chosen because they represent the nation’s birth, growth, development, and preservation. It took 14 years to carve the entire sculpture, with the project lasting from 1927 to 1941. Presidential Trail This trail leads up to the base of the mountain for close-up views of the sculpture. Along the way, you can learn more about the four presidents on the informational signs. This trail is 0.6 miles long with 422 steps. Lighting Ceremony From late-May through the end of September, you can watch the 45-minute ceremony as the lights turn on, illuminating (照明) the faces of the four presidents. From late-May through mid-August, this is held at 9 pm and from mid-August through September 30, the lighting ceremony is held at 8 pm. For the remainder of the year the sculpture is still illuminated, but there is no ceremony. Hours of Operation November 1-March 9 6 am to 9 pm March 10-September 30 5 am to 11 pm October 1-October 31 5 am to 9 pm There is no entrance fee to enter Mount Rushmore. However, you do have to pay a $10 parking fee per vehicle. 21. Who is at the right end of the sculpture? A. George Washington. B. Abraham Lincoln. C. Theodore Roosevelt. D. Thomas Jefferson. 22. When is the lighting ceremony unavailable? A. From October 1 to mid-May. B. From mid-August to September 30. C. From late-June to mid-August. D. From late-May to the end of September. 23. What can be learned about Mount Rushmore? A. The parking is free. B. The entrance fee is $10. C. It was created in 1942. D. It is open all year round. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍美国拉什莫尔山国家纪念公园的观景平台、游览步道、灯光仪式、开放时间以及门票停车费用等游玩信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From here, you have a clear view of the four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, from left to right.(从这里你可以清晰看到四位总统，从左到右依次是乔治・华盛顿、托马斯・杰斐逊、西奥多・罗斯福、亚伯拉罕・林肯。)”可知，最右侧的是亚伯拉罕・林肯。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“From late-May through the end of September, you can watch the 45-minute ceremony... For the remainder of the year the sculpture is still illuminated, but there is no ceremony.(从五月下旬到九月底你可以观看灯光仪式……一年中其余时间山体仍有灯光照明，但没有仪式活动。)”可知，10月1日至5月中旬没有灯光仪式。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中开放时间信息：“November 1-March 9(11月1日 - 3月9日)”、“March 10-September 30(3月10日 - 9月30日)”、“October 1-October 31(10月1日 - 10月31日)”均对外开放可知，拉什莫尔山全年开放。 B At first glance, Rossa and Ronnie looked like any other orangutan mother and daughter: They traveled together by day, and slept in the same nest at night. Rossa carried Ronnie around the forest. When Ronnie took a fruit from Rossa’s hand, the older female let her do it. But to biologist Amy Scott, a key detail didn’t quite add up: The mother looked too young. “How can Rossa have such a big daughter?” wondered Scott, who has been leading a project to study orangutans since 1994 in Indonesia’s Gunung Palung National Park, where Rossa and Ronnie live. So she analyzed their DNA samples and discovered that Rossa and Ronnie shared a mother named Veli, who hadn’t been seen since 2016. “Veli had a daughter, Vanna, who was 4 years old when I last spotted the pair,” said Scott. “Having compared their genetic samples, I am sure that Vanna and Ronnie are actually the same orangutan.” When Ronnie was first spotted with Rossa in 2017, the older sister was about 12 years old, and the younger sister was about 5. Perhaps, the two sisters reunited and Rossa began treating Ronnie like a daughter after their mother left. Ronnie wouldn’t have survived without her big sister being there and choosing to care for her. Although adoptions have been found in other great apes, it’s the first detailed report of adoption among orangutans — whose unique lifestyle might make it especially hard for a baby orangutan to survive without the mother’s protection. “All great apes are highly dependent on their mothers, but orangutans take the longest to wean (断奶). Orangutan mothers have been observed nursing the young for as long as nine years. Unlike chimpanzees or bonobos, which live in groups, orangutan mothers usually nurse their babies on their own,” added Scott. 24. What do the underlined words “add up” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Make sense. B. Include something extra. C. Seem unnatural. D. Help to emphasize a point. 25. When was probably Vanna born? A. In 2002. B. In 2005. C. In 2012. D. In 2014. 26. Which of the follow best describes orangutans? A. Orangutan mothers seem to be social animals. B. It takes a long time for orangutans to grow up. C. Young female orangutans are ideal baby-sitters. D. Orangutans, chimpanzees and bonobos are friends. 27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Environment. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Wildlife. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】科学家在印尼研究红毛猩猩时，发现首例猩猩姐妹收养现象，母亲失踪后姐姐抚养幼妹，并介绍了红毛猩猩漫长的育幼特点。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“At first glance, Rossa and Ronnie looked like any other orangutan mother and daughter: They traveled together by day, and slept in the same nest at night. Rossa carried Ronnie around the forest. When Ronnie took a fruit from Rossa’s hand, the older female let her do it. But to biologist Amy Scott, a key detail didn’t quite add up: The mother looked too young.(乍一看，罗莎和罗妮看上去和其他任何一对红毛猩猩母女都没什么两样：她们白天一起活动，晚上睡在同一个树巢里。罗莎带着罗妮在林间穿梭。每当罗妮从罗莎手中拿走水果时，这只年长的雌猩猩都会任由她这么做。但在生物学家埃米・斯科特眼中，一处关键细节却不add up：这只“母亲”看起来年纪太小了。)”以及第二段“How can Rossa have such a big daughter?(罗莎怎么会有这么大的女儿呢？)”可知，这里指罗莎拥有这么大的女儿不合乎常理，所以猜测add up意为“合乎情理、说得通”。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“When Ronnie was first spotted with Rossa in 2017, the older sister was about 12 years old, and the younger sister was about 5.(2017年人们首次发现罗妮和罗萨相伴生活时，妹妹大约5岁。)”可推算出，罗妮出生于2012年。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“All great apes are highly dependent on their mothers, but orangutans take the longest to wean (断奶). Orangutan mothers have been observed nursing the young for as long as nine years.(所有大型猿类都高度依赖母亲，但红毛猩猩的断奶时间最长，人们观察到母猩猩哺育幼崽长达九年。)”可知，红毛猩猩成长发育周期很长。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““How can Rossa have such a big daughter?” wondered Scott, who has been leading a project to study orangutans since 1994 in Indonesia’s Gunung Palung National Park, where Rossa and Ronnie live.(斯科特心里疑惑道：“罗莎年纪这么小，怎么会有这么大的女儿呢？”斯科特自1994年起便在印度尼西亚的古农帕隆国家公园主导一项红毛猩猩研究项目，罗莎和罗妮正是生活在这片保护区内。)”以及全文讲述红毛猩猩的收养行为、生活习性的内容可知，本文属于野生动物科普报道，最可能出现在报纸的野生动物版块。 C In Chris Schaffer’s biomedical engineering class at Cornell University, the exams involve no pen or paper. The students are only required to speak directly to an instructor in what he calls an “oral defense”. It’s a testing method as old as Socrates, and a growing number of college professors are turning to it to address a crisis in the AI age: Take-home essays and other written assignments are coming back perfect, but when students are asked to explain their work, they can’t. In his biomedical engineering class, Schaffer requires students to sign up for 20-minute sessions of Socratic-style questioning after submitting their written problem sets, which are assigned several times each semester. With a class of 70 students, Schaffer divides the job among his teaching assistants. They no longer grade the written problem sets, just the oral defenses. “It comes across as if we’re trying to prevent cheating,” Schaffer says. “That’s not why we’re doing this. We’re doing this because students increasingly see the hard work of thinking as optional.” Schaffer’s class is part of a massive shift toward in-person assessments, both written and oral, at Cornell University. The Ivy League school is one of a small but growing number of universities that have started adopting oral exams. “Skeptics point out that oral exams can be unsettling for students who are shy or have serious anxiety,” says Carolyn Aslan, who leads Cornell’s oral exam training. “Actually, it’s good to get those quiet students one-on-one, and you finally get to hear from them. I think that is the breakthrough.” Many of Schaffer’s students say they feel nervous at first but end up preferring the oral exam. “I honestly like it a lot,” says Olivia Piserchia, a biomedical engineering major. “I initially find the oral defense nerve-wracking, but I have come to value the one-on-one time with instructors. It has kept me from feeling lost in a large class and helped me build the skill of demonstrating my technical knowledge, as I will need to in the future.” 28. What can be inferred about the US students from the first paragraph? A. They refuse to do their homework. B. They have become very creative. C. They are falling victims to AI tools. D. They are addicted to low-tech devices. 29. What is Schaffer’s main purpose in adopting the in-person assessments? A. To share workloads among teachers. B. To improve students’ debating skills. C. To detect cheating in the homework. D. To force students to think independently. 30. What is Carolyn Aslan’s and Piserchia’s attitude to the oral defense? A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Unclear. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Do College Students React to the Oral Defense? B. Why Are Some Colleges Turning to Oral Assignments? C. What Is the Crisis in The US Higher Education System? D. Who Will Benefit From the One-on-one Oral Exam Most? 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述受AI时代作业抄袭问题影响，康奈尔大学推行口头考核，以此督促学生独立思考，该考核方式对内向学生有益，也深受学生认可。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s a testing method as old as Socrates, and a growing number of college professors are turning to it to address a crisis in the AI age: Take-home essays and other written assignments are coming back perfect, but when students are asked to explain their work, they can’t. (这是一种可追溯至苏格拉底时代的考核方式，如今越来越多大学教授采用它来应对人工智能时代的危机：学生上交的课外论文与书面作业完美无瑕，可一旦被要求阐述自己的写作思路，他们却无言以对。)”可知，学生过度借助AI完成作业，深受AI工具带来的负面影响。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“That’s not why we’re doing this. We’re doing this because students increasingly see the hard work of thinking as optional. (我们这么做并非为了防作弊，而是因为学生们越来越把独立思考的艰苦过程当成可有可无的事。)”可知，Schaffer采用面对面考核是为了督促学生独立思考。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Actually, it’s good to get those quiet students one-on-one, and you finally get to hear from them. I think that is the breakthrough. (实际上，一对一考核对内向学生有益，能让他们开口表达，这是一种突破。)”以及第六段学生Olivia所说“I honestly like it a lot, (我真的非常喜欢这种考核方式，)”可知，二人对口头考核都持赞同态度。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第一段“It’s a testing method as old as Socrates, and a growing number of college professors are turning to it to address a crisis in the AI age: Take-home essays and other written assignments are coming back perfect, but when students are asked to explain their work, they can’t. (这是一种可追溯至苏格拉底时代的考核方式，如今越来越多大学教授采用它来应对人工智能时代的危机：学生上交的课外论文与书面作业完美无瑕，可一旦被要求阐述自己的写作思路，他们却无言以对。)”可知，全文围绕高校改用口头考核的原因、优势以及各方评价展开，因此B项“Why Are Some Colleges Turning to Oral Assignments? (为何一些大学转而采用口头作业考核？)”符合文意。 D If you’re looking for someone to debate the new Wuthering Heights movie with, you might want to start with Lucasta Miller. She’s a British author, editor and critic who has published a well-known study of Emily Bronte and wrote an introduction for the Penguin Classics edition of Wuthering Heights. When she had the chance to see Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel last week, she was well aware of the liberties taken by the director, but was unbothered. “It would be meaningless to criticize it for that, just as it would be unreasonable to criticize an opera that changed the original plot,” Miller said. “I do not ask for a faithful adaptation of Wuthering Heights, but I value whether it works on its own terms. And my sense is that it does.” Fennell’s Wuthering Heights was the box office leader last weekend, bringing in more than $34 million in North America alone, despite mostly negative reviews that found the movie both overdone and unsatisfying. Even before its release, Brontë fans questioned some of Fennell’s choices: having the famously dark-haired Cathy played by the blond Margot Robbie; casting Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff instead of a dark-skinned actor closer to how Brontë described the character. Authors have long been unsatisfied with adaptions. But countless adaptations have served as showcases for innovative license. Billy Wilder’s film version of the James Cain’s Double Indemnity had the main character tell his story through a dictation machine, an innovation that Cain himself thought so smart that he wished he had used it in the book. “You know, the book is mine and it’s my baby. But the film is Billy’s adaptation,” Cain told The Associated Press in December. “And the film feels not like my child, more like a kind of niece or nephew. And that’s exactly as it should be.” Fennell recalled during a recent interview that she was inspired by her early memories of the novel. “There are things I added for my own needs, because I loved the book very much when I was still a teenager, and I always desperately needed some kind of sense for it to go a little further,” she admitted. 32. Why is Lucasta Miller mentioned in the text? A. She is a famous director. B. She helped edit Wuthering Heights. C. She wrote the classic novel. D. She is an authority on Emily Brontë. 33. What can be learned about the new Wuthering Heights movie? A. It is not well accepted by the market. B. It does not follow the original plot strictly. C. It is based on the Penguin Classics edition. D. It receives an unfavorable review from Fennell. 34. How did James Cain feel about the addition of the dictation machine in the movie? A. Excited. B. Bothered. C. Regretful. D. Calm. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Guidelines for adaptions. B. Fennell’s childhood. C. Inspiration for the adaption. D. Fennell’s future plan. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述新版《呼啸山庄》改编争议及创作者对影视改编的态度。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“She’s a British author, editor and critic who has published a well-known study of Emily Bronte and wrote an introduction for the Penguin Classics edition of Wuthering Heights. (她是一位英国作家、编辑和评论家，出版了一部著名的艾米莉·勃朗特研究著作，并为企鹅经典版的《呼啸山庄》撰写了导言)”可推知，Lucasta Miller是研究艾米莉·勃朗特的权威人士。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“she was well aware of the liberties taken by the director (她很清楚导演在改编中发挥的自由度)”以及第三段中她所说“It would be meaningless to criticize it for that, just as it would be unreasonable to criticize an opera that changed the original plot (为此批评它是毫无意义的，就像去批评一部改动了原著情节的歌剧一样不合情理)”及“I do not ask for a faithful adaptation of Wuthering Heights (我并不要求《呼啸山庄》做到忠于原著的改编)”可知，这部电影并没有严格遵循原著情节。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Billy Wilder’s film version of the James Cain’s Double Indemnity had the main character tell his story through a dictation machine, an innovation that Cain himself thought so smart that he wished he had used it in the book. (比利·怀尔德改编自詹姆斯·凯恩作品《双重赔偿》的电影版，让主角通过口述录音机讲述自己的故事。这一创新设计让凯恩本人觉得十分巧妙，甚至希望当初自己写书时就能用上这个设定)”可推知，他对这一添加感到兴奋。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Fennell recalled during a recent interview that she was inspired by her early memories of the novel. (Fennell在最近的一次采访中回忆道，她的灵感来源于自己早年阅读这本小说时的记忆)”可知，本段主要讲述了她改编这部电影的灵感来源。 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。 Many people in China live up to 100 years or more thanks to the following traditions and habits that support both physical and mental health.

After a relaxing vacation, he looked forward to returning. But the moment he opened the door, he froze there. The room was simply a disaster! Empty snack bags and pizza boxes littered the floor, and the shared trash bin overflowed. The smell was even worse. But what struck him hardest was his desk: His prized copy of The Princeton Companion to Mathematics lay face down, with a huge drop of coffee on it. He picked it up, but the pages stuck together. For a long moment, he simply stood there. “Andy! You’re back!” Eric entered and shouted excitedly. “How was —” He stopped suddenly. His gaze shifted from Andy’s face to the garbage, then to the ruined book. His smile disappeared. “Sorry!” Eric apologized. “I promise I’ll buy you a new one.” Andy looked at Eric, the same guy who had shown him around campus, helped him through homesickness and never made him feel like a foreigner. Sure, Eric was a nice friend, but he was also a very messy roommate. Andy had kept quiet about it for months, not wanting to cause trouble. Now, holding his ruined book, he knew what should be done. “I don’t want you to buy me a new book,” Andy said, setting the damaged copy carefully on the desk. “You don’t?” Eric asked. “But I ruined it. I should —” “I want to make a rule, for both of us,” Andy interrupted. “If we’re going to live together, we need this place to be clean. Not just sometimes. Always.” Eric looked around the room, as if seeing it for the first time. “You’re right,” Eric said guiltily. “I’ve been a terrible roommate. And you’ve been too nice to say anything. What is your suggestion?” “Let’s clean up the room first,” Andy said quietly. “I will figure it out while we are working.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They rolled up their sleeves and set out to work._______________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy took a piece of paper and wrote a simple roommate agreement._______________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: They rolled up their sleeves and set out to work. Andy picked up the empty snack bags and pizza boxes, while Eric carried the overflowing trash bin to the garbage station downstairs. They scrubbed the floor together, wiping away stains and tidying up scattered items. Andy carefully wiped the coffee stain on his book with a damp cloth, and Eric stood beside him, helping to separate the stuck pages gently. As they worked, they chatted softly — Eric apologized again for his carelessness, and Andy admitted he should have spoken up earlier. Before long, the room was clean and tidy, with the terrible smell gone. Both of them smiled, feeling a sense of relief. Andy took a piece of paper and wrote a simple roommate agreement. He listed two main rules: first, they would take turns to clean the room every day, including taking out the trash and tidying the desk; second, they would respect each other’s belongings and ask for permission before using them. After finishing, he handed the paper to Eric, who read it carefully and nodded immediately. “I agree with every word,” Eric said, picking up a pen and signing his name. Andy signed too, and they shook hands happily. Looking at the clean room and the signed agreement, Andy knew their friendship would become stronger, and their life as roommates would be more pleasant from then on. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述假期结束后，安迪回到杂乱的宿舍，发现自己珍贵的数学书被埃里克弄坏了。埃里克连忙道歉并提出赔偿新书，但安迪拒绝了。他提议二人定下规矩，共同保持宿舍整洁。埃里克十分愧疚并同意了，两人决定先一起打扫宿舍。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两人挽起袖子开始工作。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：两人一起打扫脏乱的宿舍，互相谅解反思，宿舍恢复整洁，二人也倍感轻松。 ②由第二段首句内容“安迪拿出一张纸，写下了一份简单的室友公约。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：安迪写下室友公约，定下打扫与借物规矩，两人签字约定，今后宿舍生活会更加和睦。 2.续写线索：一起打扫脏乱的宿舍——宿舍恢复整洁——写下室友公约——签字约定——从此和睦相处 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.帮助：help/assist/aid ②.完成：finish/complete/accomplish ③.说：say/utter 情绪类 ①.温柔地：softly/gently/tenderly ②.高兴地：happily/gladly/merrily 【点睛】[高分句型1].
