He was known for his amazing skill in making bamboo kites. For over 50 years, he had been 11 this traditional craft. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer young people were interested in learning it. They preferred playing with electronic products or watching short videos on their phones. One day, a young teacher named Ms. Zhang visited the village. She noticed Grandpa Li sitting alone, looking 12 at his unfinished kite. “Why don’t you teach the kids at my school?” she asked. Grandpa Li sighed, “They won’t listen. It’s too 13 and takes too much time.” But Ms. Zhang had an idea. She invited Grandpa Li to give a 14 at her school. At first, the students were bored. They thought making kites was old-fashioned. But when Grandpa Li showed them a special kite that could whistle (吹口哨) in the wind, their eyes lit up with 15 . “It’s not just paper and bamboo,” Grandpa Li explained patiently. “It’s about balance, patience, and respecting nature.” He taught them 16 to choose the right bamboo, how to heat it without breaking, and how to paint delicate patterns. Slowly, the students began to appreciate the beauty of the craft. They realized that every step required focus. Unlike video games where you can restart instantly, a mistake in kite-making meant starting all over again. This taught them the value of 17 . To make it more interesting, Ms. Zhang suggested a competition: “Design a kite that tells a modern story.” The students were excited. They combined traditional skills with modern 18 . Some kites featured superheroes; others had QR codes that linked to stories about environmental protection. On the day of the competition, the sky was filled with colorful kites. The villagers watched 19 amazement. Grandpa Li smiled, tears in his eyes. He saw not just kites flying, but the spirit of tradition being 20 . “I was wrong,” Grandpa Li told Ms. Zhang later. “Tradition doesn’t die because it’s old. It dies because we stop finding new ways to 21 it alive.” Now, Grandpa Li has many young apprentices (学徒). They meet every weekend to learn and 22 . They even sell their kites online, reaching customers all over the world. Through their efforts, this ancient art form is finding a new 23 in the digital age. The story of Grandpa Li teaches us that innovation (创新) and tradition are not 24 . Instead, they can work together to create something 25 . 11．A．practicing B．selling C．buying D．destroying 12．A．happily B．sadly C．angrily D．proudly 13．A．easy B．fun C．boring D．cheap 14．A．concert B．lesson C．party D．meeting 15．A．fear B．interest C．doubt D．shame 16．A．where B．what C．how D．when 17．A．speed B．luck C．perfection D．wealth 18．A．ideas B．tools C．materials D．languages 19．A．at B．on C．in D．for 20．A．passed by B．passed on C．passed away D．passed to 21．A．keep B．let C．make D．take 22．A．fight B．create C．argue D．sleep 23．A．problem B．home C．life D．job 24．A．enemies B．friends C．twins D．partners 25．A．terrible B．common C．meaningless D．wonderful 【答案】 11．A 12．B 13．C 14．B 15．B 16．C 17．C 18．A 19．C 20．B 21．A 22．B 23．C 24．A 25．D 【导语】本文讲述云南竹风筝老手艺人李爷爷在张老师的帮助下走进校园，通过创新方式让孩子们爱上传统技艺，使古老手艺在数字时代重获新生的故事。 11．句意：五十多年来，他一直在练习这项传统手艺。 结合前文“amazing skill in making bamboo kites”，此处是长期“练习、从事”这项手艺，practicing符合语境。selling“售卖”、buying“购买”、destroying“破坏”均不符合持续从事手艺的语境。 12．句意：她注意到李爷爷独自坐着，悲伤地看着未完成的风筝。 前文提到年轻人对学手艺不感兴趣，老人心情应是“悲伤的”，sadly符合语境。happily“开心地”、angrily“生气地”、proudly“骄傲地”均与后文叹气情节矛盾。 13．句意：李爷爷叹气道：“他们不会听的。这太无聊了，而且太花时间。” 老人认为年轻人会觉得手艺“无聊”，boring符合语境。easy“容易的”、fun“有趣的”、cheap“便宜的”均与老人认为年轻人不愿学的负面预判不符。 14．句意：她邀请李爷爷到学校上一堂课。 老师邀请老人到学校“上课”展示手艺，lesson符合语境。concert“音乐会”、party“聚会”、meeting“会议”均不符合教学展示的场景。 15．句意：但当李爷爷展示一只能在风中吹口哨的特殊风筝时，他们眼中燃起了兴趣。 孩子们从无聊到被吸引，眼中是“兴趣”，interest符合语境。fear“恐惧”、doubt“怀疑”、shame“羞愧”均不符合被新奇事物吸引的语境。 16．句意：他耐心地教他们如何挑选合适的竹子。 后文描述教授具体步骤，此处是“如何”做某事，how符合语境。where“哪里”、what“什么”、when“何时”均不符合“教方法”的语境。 17．句意：这让他们懂得了精益求精的价值。 与电子游戏可重来不同，手工犯错需从头开始，这体现的是追求“完美”的价值，perfection符合语境。speed“速度”、luck“运气”、wealth“财富”均不符合手工制作的精益求精。 18．句意：他们把传统技艺与现代创意结合起来。 与“传统技艺”对应的是现代“创意、想法”，ideas符合语境。tools“工具”、materials“材料”、languages“语言”均不如ideas能概括设计风筝的主题构思。 19．句意：村民们惊讶地看着这一切。 固定搭配in amazement“惊讶地”，in符合语境。at、on、for均不能与amazement构成正确介词搭配。 20．句意：他看到的不仅是风筝在飞，还有传统的精神被传承下去。 传统精神被“传递、传承”下去，passed on符合语境。passed by“经过”、passed away“去世”、passed to“传给某人”后需接宾语，均不符合此处被动语态表达“传承”的含义。 21．句意：传统之所以消亡，是因为我们不再寻找新的方法来让它保持生机。 固定搭配keep sth alive“使某物保持生机”，keep符合语境。let“让”、make“使”、take“拿”均不与alive构成“保持活力”的固定短语。 22．句意：他们每周末聚在一起学习和创作。 在学手艺的过程中进行“创作”，create符合语境。fight“打架”、argue“争吵”、sleep“睡觉”均不符合学徒聚会的积极活动。 23．句意：通过他们的努力，这门古老的艺术形式在数字时代找到了新的生命。 传统手艺获得新生，是找到了新的“生命、活力”，life符合语境。problem“问题”、home“家”、job“工作”均不如life能体现传统手艺的复兴。 24．句意：李爷爷的故事告诉我们，创新与传统不是敌人。 两者并非对立，不是“敌人”，enemies符合语境。friends“朋友”、twins“双胞胎”、partners“伙伴”均与后文“可以共同合作”的逻辑矛盾。 25．句意：相反，它们可以共同合作，创造出美妙的东西。 传统与创新结合创造出的东西是“美妙的”，wonderful符合语境。terrible“糟糕的”、common“普通的”、meaningless“无意义的”均与全文积极主旨矛盾。 三、 阅读理解(本题共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分) 请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A China’s Record-Breaking Bridge A new record has been set in China with the opening of a remarkable bridge. The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, located in the mountainous area of Guizhou Province, is now the highest bridge in the world. A New Engineering Wonder The bridge stands 625 meters above the Beipan River. It also has the longest main span (跨度) ever built in such difficult, rocky areas. The bridge is 2,890 meters long in total, with a 1,420-meter main span. A Good Engine of Growth This new bridge is expected to greatly develop the local economy (经济) by improving transport and cutting travel times. The crossing will shorten (缩短) the Beipan River journey from two hours to two minutes. The project can bring new energy to the countryside and help local communities grow and develop. The bridge is set to become a big tourist spot, expected to attract over one million visitors every year. Travelers will be able to enjoy the amazing canyon views from a coffee house, a geological museum, or even a bungee-jumping (蹦极) center located at the site. A Fully Safe Crossing The bridge opened to traffic on September 28th, 2025. Before opening, it passed an important test in August. 96 trucks were driven onto the bridge. The total weight of these trucks was about 3,300 tons. Engineers checked the bridge carefully. After passing the test, the bridge was ready for traffic. 26．Which one is NOT a reason for the bridge being an engineering wonder? A．Its height. B．Its natural conditions. C．Its span length. D．Its building time and cost. 27．Which can be put in the empty box? A．A Future Tourist Attraction B．A Valuable Cultural Symbol C．A Beautiful City View D．An Important Trade Channel 28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The bridge is the longest one in the world. B．It takes hours to travel across the bridge now. C．The bridge passed a speed test before opening. D．This bridge serves the development of the local area. 【答案】26．D 27．A 28．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了贵州花江峡谷大桥的工程特点、经济意义、旅游潜力及安全测试情况。 26．第二段提到“The bridge stands 625 meters above the Beipan River. It also has the longest main span (跨度) ever built in such difficult, rocky areas”，说明花江峡谷大桥的高度和跨度使其成为工程奇迹，而文中未提及建造时间和成本是其成为工程奇迹的原因。 27．第四段开头“The bridge is set to become a big tourist spot”表明桥将成为旅游景点，之后说明这座桥未来每年会吸引超百万游客，还配备了观景、休闲游乐设施，核心讲它的旅游价值，所以“A Future Tourist Attraction”可填入空白框处。 28．第三段提到“This new bridge is expected to greatly develop the local economy (经济) by improving transport and cutting travel times”以及“The project can bring new energy to the countryside and help local communities grow and develop”，说明大桥将缩短盘江流域的行程时间，促进当地经济发展，因此大桥服务于当地发展。 B Are you sad because you bought a phone less than a year ago and now have to charge  (充电) it twice a day? In the future, a shot to the battery might solve the problem, a recent study suggested. Researchers at Fudan University found a way to make old batteries last much longer. Their study was published on February 12 in the leading science journal Nature. How does a lithium-ion (锂离子) battery work? It uses lithium ions to store and give out energy. But over time, some of these ions become “dead”, which reduces the battery’s life. When a battery’s power drops below 80% of its original (原始的) level, it is considered failed. This problem has been like this since the invention of the lithium-ion in 1990. Instead of dead batteries, the Chinese researchers saw them as sick patients. If the broken part can be fixed, the battery can be made good again. They injected (注射) an organic (有机的) lithium salt into the batteries. This chemical replaced the “dead” lithium and made the batteries healthy again. The treatment can be done many times. As a result, the number of charges could increase from between 500 to 2,000 to as many as 60,000. This has never been achieved before. The magical treatment can not only solve your phone’s battery problem but also help China and the world in many other ways. China is the world’s leading producer of lithium-ion batteries, making about 70% of the world’s total. It also uses many of them in new energy vehicles (车辆) and in storing solar and wind power. Longer-lasting batteries mean lower costs for car owners and the power industry. Last but not least, they can help cut the rising pollution caused by making and throwing away batteries. 29．What does the word “shot” in the first paragraph most probably mean? A．子弹 B．射门 C．注射 D．拍照 30．According to the passage, what happens when a lithium-ion battery becomes “dead”? A．It stops working completely and cannot be used again. B．Its power drops below 80% of its original level. C．It needs to be charged five times a day. D．Its organic lithium salt runs out. 31．What can we know from the last paragraph about the new battery treatment? A．It may greatly cut down battery change costs. B．It has already been used in most new phones. C．It will make batteries last forever without any loss. D．It works better for car batteries than for phone batteries. 32．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Charge Your Phone Less Often B．A “Shot” to Give Old Batteries New Life C．The History of Lithium-ion Batteries D．Why China Produces the Most Batteries 【答案】29．C 30．B 31．A 32．B 【导语】本文介绍了复旦大学研究人员通过向电池注射有机锂盐来修复“死”锂离子，从而大幅延长锂电池寿命的新技术及其应用前景。 29．第一段提到“a shot to the battery might solve the problem”，结合下文研究人员向电池中注射有机锂盐的描述，可知shot在此处意为“注射”。 30．第三段提到“When a battery’s power drops below 80% of its original level, it is considered failed.”，说明锂电池“失效”时其电量低于原始水平的80%。 31．最后一段提到“Longer-lasting batteries mean lower costs for car owners and the power industry.”，说明这项新电池处理技术可以大大降低电池更换成本。 32．全文围绕给旧电池“注射”以恢复其性能这一核心技术展开，介绍了技术原理、效果和应用前景，因此“给旧电池新生命的‘注射’”最能概括全文主旨。 C In Venice, Antonio, a merchant (商人), borrowed money from Shylock, a greedy (贪婪的) person who lent money to people. They signed an unfair contract (合同). If Antonio couldn’t return the money, Shylock could get Antonio’s one pound of flesh (肉): Unluckily, he failed to pay back the money. The case was now in the hands of the wise judge (法官) Portia. Judge Portia gave her decision: “One pound of the merchant's flesh is yours. It’s what the contract says. You may take his flesh.” Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” said Portia. “You will not do anything not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock?” “Yes, that’s right,” said Shylock, wondering what the judge would say next. “Well,” said Portia, “I’ve read the contract. It doesn’t say anything about taking his blood. It says ‘a pound of flesh.’ You can take your pound of flesh, but you may not take one drop of his blood. If you do, the Duke (公爵) will take everything you own!” Antonio praised Portia’s wisdom. Portia then told Shylock, “You wanted justice (正义), and you’ll get it.” Shylock didn’t want to lose everything, so he decided not to take the flesh. Instead, he asked for money: “Give me ninety thousand dollars, and I’ll let Antonio go.” Bassanio, Antonio’s friend, was happy to pay. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die. ________ “Wait!” Portia said again. “Shylock cannot get the money. It is not written in the contract.” Shylock said he only wanted his money back without interest (利息). But Portia stopped him again: “You said you only wanted what was in the contract.” Shylock realized he wouldn’t get the flesh or the money. He decided to go home. But Portia stopped him for the third time: “The law of Venice says if you plan to kill a citizen, you’ll lose everything. Half of your wealth goes to the person you tried to kill, and half to the Duke.” ——Adapted from The Merchant of Venice 33．What could Shylock get if Antonio failed to pay back the money? A．Ninety thousand dollars. B．A pound of Antonio’s flesh. C．Interest from the money. D．Half of Antonio’s wealth. 34．Which sentence can be put in the ________? A．So Portia gave him the money to end the trouble. B．But Portia stopped Shylock from taking the money. C．But Bassanio refused to give Shylock the money. D．So Bassanio gave Shylock the money as written in the contract. 35．Which of the following shows the right order of the passage? a. Shylock held his knife and prepared to take Antonio’s flesh. b. Shylock decided to take the money instead of Antonio’s flesh. c. Antonio borrowed money from Shylock but he couldn’t pay it back. d. Portia warned Shylock he cannot take any of Antonio’s blood. A．a-c-d-b B．a-d-c-b C．c-a-d-b D．c-d-a-b 36．What will most probably happen next in the story according to the passage? A．Shylock will take half of Antonio’s wealth. B．Portia will let Shylock leave without punishment. C．Shylock will lose all his wealth and go home. D．Shylock will keep half of his wealth and leave. 【答案】33．B 34．B 35．C 36．C 【导语】本文节选自《威尼斯商人》，讲述了商人安东尼奥向贪婪的夏洛克借钱，因无法偿还而面临割肉判决，法官鲍西娅巧妙利用合同文字拯救安东尼奥的故事。 33．第一段提到“They signed an unfair contract. If Antonio couldn’t return the money, Shylock could get Antonio’s one pound of flesh.”，说明如果安东尼奥无法还钱，夏洛克可以得到他一磅肉。 34．前文提到巴萨尼奥很乐意付钱让夏洛克放过安东尼奥，但根据故事情节发展，鲍西娅会再次阻止。结合后文鲍西娅说“Shylock cannot get the money”，因此横线处应填入“但鲍西娅阻止夏洛克拿钱”，B项符合。 35．故事顺序为：安东尼奥向夏洛克借钱但无法偿还（c）→夏洛克持刀准备割肉（a）→鲍西娅警告夏洛克不能取一滴血（d）→夏洛克决定要钱而非肉（b），因此正确顺序为c→a→d→b。 36．最后一段提到威尼斯法律规定，企图杀害公民的人将失去一切财产，一半归受害者，一半归公爵。因此接下来夏洛克最可能会失去所有财富并回家。 D Every time generative artificial intelligence (生成式人工智能) writes an e-mail or creates a picture, the planet pays for it. A single chat with ChatGPT can heat up a server (服务器) so much that it requires a bottle of water to cool it. And recent research in Nature Computational Science points out another worry: AI is a big cause of the world’s growing pile of electronic waste. The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5 million metric tons of this hazardous trash (有害垃圾) to the planet by 2030, depending on how quickly the industry grows. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the world produces every year. Phones, computers, and other electronic products often contain toxic substances. When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil. The UN found that in 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste ended up in landfills or at unofficial (非正规) recycling places. Asaf Tzachor, a researcher at Reichman University, says we must reduce this technology’s environmental influence. The researchers warn that more and more people might use generative AI. Hardware design innovations, meanwhile, could reduce e-waste, but other technological development can make systems cheaper so that more people may use it. This study’s main value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental influences, says Shaolei Ren of the University of California. “We might want these companies to slow down a bit.” Few countries have strong laws for the e-waste, and those that do often fail to enforce their laws on it. 25 U.S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no law that requires electronics recycling. Some companies, however, announce to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste by 2030; achieving them would most likely need to reduce or recycle AI related e-waste. ________ AI products are harder to recycle than standard electronics because they often include a lot of private customer information, says Kees Baldé, an e-waste researcher at the U.N. Institute for Training and Research. But big tech companies can afford to both erase those data and properly deal with their electronics, he points out. “Yes, it costs something, but the gains for society are much larger.” 37．How does the writer show that generative AI produces problems? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By showing pictures. 38．What can we learn about e-waste? A．It pollutes the water seriously because it can’t be recycled. B．It can be reduced by developing new generative AI systems. C．It may pollute the environment if improperly thrown away. D．It is mainly produced by common electronic products like phones. 39．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．Moreover, there’s another problem as well. B．As a result, they devoted much money to recycling. C．However, some companies care little about customers.

Its long history is almost as old as the wall itself. The Great Wall began as many separate walls built by different ancient states during the Chunqiu period. At that time, people moved from place to place, and wars often happened. When Emperor Qin Shi Huang united all the states in 221 BCE, the mountains in the north were still easy for enemies to attack. 41 This hard work created one long wall that ran from west to east. Under the Han Dynasty, the wall grew even longer and stronger. It finally reached more than 3,700 miles. Building such a long wall was extremely difficult. Millions of workers — soldiers, farmers, and prisoners — were forced to leave their homes and work on the wall. 42 Poems and stories from that time tell us that many workers lost their lives while building it. The wall was built to keep enemies out of China, but today it does the opposite — it welcomes millions of visitors from all over the world each year. 43 However, having so many visitors has caused some harm to the old wall. Some parts have been worn down by footsteps, and a few visitors have even left marks on the stones. To protect this great wonder, the Chinese government is now taking action. 44 It is one of the largest man-made structures on Earth and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. This means it is recognized as a place of great importance to all people. Even now, new parts of the Wall are still being found every few years. 45 Their discovery shows us that the Wall is even larger than we thought, and it continues to remind us of what people can achieve. A．Today, the Wall’s main purpose is cultural. B．The wall was built with earth, stones, and bricks. C．They carried heavy stones and bricks up the mountains. D．People come to see its beauty and learn about its history. E．These parts branch off from the main wall and go into forests and mountains. F．To protect his people, the Emperor ordered workers to connect and strengthen these old walls. 【答案】41．F 42．C 43．D 44．A 45．E 【导语】本文讲述了万里长城的历史渊源、修建过程、不同朝代的变化及其现状，并指出长城在当今的文化意义和保护工作。 41．前文提到秦始皇统一六国后，北方山区仍易受敌人攻击，F项“To protect his people, the Emperor ordered workers to connect and strengthen these old walls.”说明了秦始皇为保护百姓而下令连接并加固这些旧城墙，与上文形成因果关系，自然引出后文“这一艰巨工程造就了一条从西到东的长城”。 42．前文提到数百万工人被迫离开家园修筑长城，后文说诗文中记载许多工人丧命，C项“They carried heavy stones and bricks up the mountains.”具体描述了工人们的艰苦劳动，承接了上文关于工人被迫劳动的内容，也为后文提及工人牺牲埋下伏笔。 43．本段讨论长城如今吸引游客，前文说长城欢迎全球游客，后文提到游客过多造成损害，D项“People come to see its beauty and learn about its history.”解释了游客来到长城的目的，与前后文构成“吸引游客→游客目的→游客过多造成问题”的逻辑链条。 44．本段介绍长城是世界最大人造建筑之一，1987年被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产，A项“Today, the Wall’s main purpose is cultural.”点明长城现今的主要功能是文化层面的，作为本段主题句统领全段内容，与后文提到的世界遗产地位相呼应。 45．前文说每隔几年仍会发现长城的新部分，E项“These parts branch off from the main wall and go into forests and mountains.”具体描述了这些新发现部分的位置和走向，承接上文“发现新部分”，后文进一步说明这些发现的意义，符合逻辑顺序。 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 Pegasus 3, directed by Han Han and starring Shen Teng, has become the biggest hit of the 2026 Spring Festival holiday.

They s 56 as Chinese teenagers. When artificial intelligence (AI) makes life easier than ever, what is the true v 57 of human beings? Actually, a group of high school students in Shenzhen, South China o 58 their answers and touched millions of people. Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese teacher from Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School, r 59 did a survey with her students. She asked only one question: “If you must pick one Chinese character to prove that you are not AI, what would it be?” She got 54 answers in all. These answers surprised Ms. Yu. Later, a video about them became popular online, starting a hot talk about what it means to be a real human. Two students gave o 60 answers: “hurried” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, but why do patients c 61 them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is shaped by our feelings.” Another student wrote, “People love to slow down with those they care about, w 62 AI only cares about speed and right answers.” Some other students chose words like “doubtful” and “limited”. One student wrote, “AI seems to be boundless, but e 63 about me is limited — the knowledge I’ve gained, the people I meet, my short life and so on. So in some ways, I am e 64 more valuable than AI.” There were also answers like courage, faith, hate, regret, love and hurt. “What t 65 moves people is not just a lesson, but the warm humanity that can never be taken away by technology,” Ms. Yu said. 【答案】 56．served/erved 57．value/alue 58．offered/ffered 59．recently/ecently 60．opposite/pposite 61．check/heck 62．while/hile 63．everything/everything 64．even/ven 65．truly/ruly 【导语】本文主要通过讲述深圳中学生在联合国教科文组织论坛上对“人与AI区别”的深度思考，探讨了在人工智能时代人类的真实价值，强调了无法被科技取代的温暖人性。 56．句意：他们充当中国青少年的角色。上文提到“…shared their stories…at UNESCO AI Day International Forum…”提示他们是在正式场合代表某一群体。固定搭配“serve as”意为“以……身份起作用/担任”，且文中描述过去发生的事。首字母s及语境提示填served。 57．句意：当人工智能（AI）让生活变得比以往任何时候都更轻松时，人类的真正价值是什么？语境探讨在AI普及的背景下人类存在的意义。位于形容词“true”之后作宾语，需用名词。首字母v及语义指向价值，故填value。 58．句意：事实上，中国南方深圳的一群高中生提供了他们的答案，并感动了数百万人。后文提到这些答案“touched millions of people”，说明学生们提出了见解。动作发生在过去且与并列动词“touched”形式一致。首字母o对应动词offer的过去式，故填offered。 59．句意：深圳南山外国语学校的语文老师余雅璇最近和她的学生们做了一项调查。此处需用副词修饰动词“did”。首字母r及语境提示语义为“最近”，故填recently。 60．句意：两名学生给出了相反的答案：“匆忙”和“缓慢”。后文列举的“hurried”和“slow”语义相反，此处需用形容词修饰“answers”。首字母o及语境逻辑提示，故填opposite。 61．句意： “医院需要30分钟才能给出检测结果，但为什么病人每隔几分钟就要查看一次呢？”前文提到医院出结果需30分钟，但患者会焦急地反复确认。助动词“do”后接动词原形。首字母c提示，故填check。 62．句意：另一名学生写道：“人们喜欢和在乎的人一起慢下来，而人工智能只在乎速度和正确答案。”前句描述人类情感，后句描述AI特性，表示明显的对比关系。需用连词引导状语从句。首字母w提示，故填while。 63．句意：一名学生写道：“人工智能似乎是无边无际的，但关于我的一切都是有限的——我获得的知识、我遇到的人、我短暂的生命等等。对应前句“AI seems to be boundless”，引出关于人类自身局限性的观点。此处需用不定代词作从句主语。首字母e提示，故填everything。 64．句意：“所以在某些方面，我甚至比人工智能更有价值。”语境强调正是因为人的局限性，使得人具有了AI不具备的独特性。此处修饰比较级“more valuable”。首字母e提示，故填even。 65．句意：“真正打动人们的不仅仅是一堂课，而是那种永远不会被技术夺走的温暖的人性，”余老师说。此处需用副词修饰动词“moves”。首字母t及全文对“人性温暖”的肯定，提示语义为“真正地”。故填truly。 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you have a goal you want to achieve before your next birthday? Or by the end of the next five years, perhaps? We often hear about the importance of setting goals. We may think of these goals as the key to our happiness—achieve them and everything will be perfect. But have you ever reached a goal and instead of feeling happy, you've thought, “Is that it?” Or, “Now what?” That feeling has a name. It’s called “arrival fallacy”—the illusion (错误的观念) that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness. Whether it’s a new job, owning your dream home or anything else—there might be some initial (最初的) joy, but if you’re experiencing arrival fallacy, that may be followed by emptiness (空虚) and under stress to achieve something new. So why does this happen? Surely achieving our goals is enough to make us happy? Not always. According to experts, we might be overestimating (高估) the happiness that such achievements will bring And social scientist Adam Dorr says we often make the mistake of imagining our goal as a fixed object, when really it’s just part of life. But Ben Shahar adds that arrival fallacy doesn’t mean we shouldn’t set goals—in fact, we need them to help give our lives focus. As well as large things, our goals should include many small things, like helping out more around the house or spending more time with family—small but important goals that don’t just “end”. If we really want to beat arrival fallacy, we also have to work out what makes us happy. And in surveys, spending quality time with people we care about is often number one for happiness. Even if we do have clear career goals, experts remind us to think about enjoying the journey too—and not just the destination (目的地). 66．What is “arrival fallacy”? 67．How might someone feel after reaching a goal if they experience “arrival fallacy”? 68．Why do we have the feeling “arrival fallacy”? 69．What does social scientist Adam Dorr suggest about the nature of goals? 70．What will you do to beat “arrival fallacy”?  (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】66．(It is) the illusion that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness. 67．(He/She might feel) empty and stressed (to achieve something new). 68．We might be overestimating the happiness that such achievements will bring. 69．It’s just part of life. 70．We can set small but important goals that don’t just “end”./We should enjoy the journey too—and not just the destination. (Any reasonable answer can be accepted)） 【导语】本文主要向我们介绍了“arrival fallacy”，这是一种错误的观念，认为达到目标就会给我们带来持久幸福的错觉。文章介绍了为什么有这种感觉以及如何解决。 66．根据“the illusion (错误的观念) that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness.”可知，这是一个错误观念，以为达到目标就能给我们带来持久的幸福。故填(It is) the illusion that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness. 67．根据“Whether it’s a new job, owning your dream home or anything else—there might be some initial (最初的) joy, but if you’re experiencing arrival fallacy, that may be followed by emptiness (空虚) and under stress to achieve something new.”可知，如果人们经历了这种错误的观念，他们在达到目标后会感觉空虚和压力，以实现新的东西。故填(He/She might feel) empty and stressed (to achieve something new). 68．根据“According to experts, we might be overestimating (高估) the happiness that such achievements will bring”可知，是因为我们可能高估了这些成就将带来的快乐。故填We might be overestimating the happiness that such achievements will bring. 69．根据“And social scientist Adam Dorr says we often make the mistake of imagining our goal as a fixed object, when really it’s just part of life.”可知，他指出目标的本质只是生活的一部分。故填It’s just part of life. 70．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为We can set small but important goals that don’t just “end”./We should enjoy the journey too—and not just the destination. (Any reasonable answer can be accepted)） 八、作文（满分20分） 71．时光荏苒，光阴似箭。在三年的初中生活里，你肯定遇到过许多良师益友，其中谁会是你最难忘的人呢？请以“The Most Unforgettable Person”为题，用英语写一篇短文，讲述你和他（她）之间的故事。 注意： 1. 内容必须包括所给的提示要点，可适当发挥。 2. 词数90左右，短文开头已给出，不计入总词数。 3. 表达中请勿提及真实校名及姓名。 The Most Unforgettable Person How time flies!

He was known for his amazing skill in making bamboo kites. For over 50 years, he had been 11 this traditional craft. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer young people were interested in learning it. They preferred playing with electronic products or watching short videos on their phones. One day, a young teacher named Ms. Zhang visited the village. She noticed Grandpa Li sitting alone, looking 12 at his unfinished kite. “Why don’t you teach the kids at my school?” she asked. Grandpa Li sighed, “They won’t listen. It’s too 13 and takes too much time.” But Ms. Zhang had an idea. She invited Grandpa Li to give a 14 at her school. At first, the students were bored. They thought making kites was old-fashioned. But when Grandpa Li showed them a special kite that could whistle (吹口哨) in the wind, their eyes lit up with 15 . “It’s not just paper and bamboo,” Grandpa Li explained patiently. “It’s about balance, patience, and respecting nature.” He taught them 16 to choose the right bamboo, how to heat it without breaking, and how to paint delicate patterns. Slowly, the students began to appreciate the beauty of the craft. They realized that every step required focus. Unlike video games where you can restart instantly, a mistake in kite-making meant starting all over again. This taught them the value of 17 . To make it more interesting, Ms. Zhang suggested a competition: “Design a kite that tells a modern story.” The students were excited. They combined traditional skills with modern 18 . Some kites featured superheroes; others had QR codes that linked to stories about environmental protection. On the day of the competition, the sky was filled with colorful kites. The villagers watched 19 amazement. Grandpa Li smiled, tears in his eyes. He saw not just kites flying, but the spirit of tradition being 20 . “I was wrong,” Grandpa Li told Ms. Zhang later. “Tradition doesn’t die because it’s old.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, located in the mountainous area of Guizhou Province, is now the highest bridge in the world. A New Engineering Wonder The bridge stands 625 meters above the Beipan River. It also has the longest main span (跨度) ever built in such difficult, rocky areas. The bridge is 2,890 meters long in total, with a 1,420-meter main span. A Good Engine of Growth This new bridge is expected to greatly develop the local economy (经济) by improving transport and cutting travel times. The crossing will shorten (缩短) the Beipan River journey from two hours to two minutes. The project can bring new energy to the countryside and help local communities grow and develop. The bridge is set to become a big tourist spot, expected to attract over one million visitors every year. Travelers will be able to enjoy the amazing canyon views from a coffee house, a geological museum, or even a bungee-jumping (蹦极) center located at the site. A Fully Safe Crossing The bridge opened to traffic on September 28th, 2025. Before opening, it passed an important test in August. 96 trucks were driven onto the bridge. The total weight of these trucks was about 3,300 tons. Engineers checked the bridge carefully. After passing the test, the bridge was ready for traffic. 26．Which one is NOT a reason for the bridge being an engineering wonder? A．Its height. B．Its natural conditions. C．Its span length. D．Its building time and cost. 27．Which can be put in the empty box? A．A Future Tourist Attraction B．A Valuable Cultural Symbol C．A Beautiful City View D．An Important Trade Channel 28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The bridge is the longest one in the world. B．It takes hours to travel across the bridge now. C．The bridge passed a speed test before opening. D．This bridge serves the development of the local area. B Are you sad because you bought a phone less than a year ago and now have to charge  (充电) it twice a day? In the future, a shot to the battery might solve the problem, a recent study suggested. Researchers at Fudan University found a way to make old batteries last much longer. Their study was published on February 12 in the leading science journal Nature. How does a lithium-ion (锂离子) battery work? It uses lithium ions to store and give out energy. But over time, some of these ions become “dead”, which reduces the battery’s life. When a battery’s power drops below 80% of its original (原始的) level, it is considered failed. This problem has been like this since the invention of the lithium-ion in 1990. Instead of dead batteries, the Chinese researchers saw them as sick patients. If the broken part can be fixed, the battery can be made good again. They injected (注射) an organic (有机的) lithium salt into the batteries. This chemical replaced the “dead” lithium and made the batteries healthy again. The treatment can be done many times. As a result, the number of charges could increase from between 500 to 2,000 to as many as 60,000. This has never been achieved before. The magical treatment can not only solve your phone’s battery problem but also help China and the world in many other ways. China is the world’s leading producer of lithium-ion batteries, making about 70% of the world’s total. It also uses many of them in new energy vehicles (车辆) and in storing solar and wind power. Longer-lasting batteries mean lower costs for car owners and the power industry. Last but not least, they can help cut the rising pollution caused by making and throwing away batteries. 29．What does the word “shot” in the first paragraph most probably mean? A．子弹 B．射门 C．注射 D．拍照 30．According to the passage, what happens when a lithium-ion battery becomes “dead”? A．It stops working completely and cannot be used again. B．Its power drops below 80% of its original level. C．It needs to be charged five times a day.

They signed an unfair contract (合同). If Antonio couldn’t return the money, Shylock could get Antonio’s one pound of flesh (肉): Unluckily, he failed to pay back the money. The case was now in the hands of the wise judge (法官) Portia. Judge Portia gave her decision: “One pound of the merchant's flesh is yours. It’s what the contract says. You may take his flesh.” Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” said Portia. “You will not do anything not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock?” “Yes, that’s right,” said Shylock, wondering what the judge would say next. “Well,” said Portia, “I’ve read the contract. It doesn’t say anything about taking his blood. It says ‘a pound of flesh.’ You can take your pound of flesh, but you may not take one drop of his blood. If you do, the Duke (公爵) will take everything you own!” Antonio praised Portia’s wisdom. Portia then told Shylock, “You wanted justice (正义), and you’ll get it.” Shylock didn’t want to lose everything, so he decided not to take the flesh. Instead, he asked for money: “Give me ninety thousand dollars, and I’ll let Antonio go.” Bassanio, Antonio’s friend, was happy to pay. He was very pleased that his friend Antonio would not die. ________ “Wait!” Portia said again. “Shylock cannot get the money. It is not written in the contract.” Shylock said he only wanted his money back without interest (利息). But Portia stopped him again: “You said you only wanted what was in the contract.” Shylock realized he wouldn’t get the flesh or the money. He decided to go home. But Portia stopped him for the third time: “The law of Venice says if you plan to kill a citizen, you’ll lose everything. Half of your wealth goes to the person you tried to kill, and half to the Duke.” ——Adapted from The Merchant of Venice 33．What could Shylock get if Antonio failed to pay back the money?

D Every time generative artificial intelligence (生成式人工智能) writes an e-mail or creates a picture, the planet pays for it. A single chat with ChatGPT can heat up a server (服务器) so much that it requires a bottle of water to cool it. And recent research in Nature Computational Science points out another worry: AI is a big cause of the world’s growing pile of electronic waste. The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5 million metric tons of this hazardous trash (有害垃圾) to the planet by 2030, depending on how quickly the industry grows. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the world produces every year. Phones, computers, and other electronic products often contain toxic substances. When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil. The UN found that in 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste ended up in landfills or at unofficial (非正规) recycling places. Asaf Tzachor, a researcher at Reichman University, says we must reduce this technology’s environmental influence. The researchers warn that more and more people might use generative AI. Hardware design innovations, meanwhile, could reduce e-waste, but other technological development can make systems cheaper so that more people may use it. This study’s main value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental influences, says Shaolei Ren of the University of California. “We might want these companies to slow down a bit.” Few countries have strong laws for the e-waste, and those that do often fail to enforce their laws on it. 25 U.S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no law that requires electronics recycling. Some companies, however, announce to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste by 2030; achieving them would most likely need to reduce or recycle AI related e-waste. ________ AI products are harder to recycle than standard electronics because they often include a lot of private customer information, says Kees Baldé, an e-waste researcher at the U.N. Institute for Training and Research. But big tech companies can afford to both erase those data and properly deal with their electronics, he points out. “Yes, it costs something, but the gains for society are much larger.” 37．How does the writer show that generative AI produces problems? A．By giving examples. B．By telling stories. C．By asking questions. D．By showing pictures. 38．What can we learn about e-waste? A．It pollutes the water seriously because it can’t be recycled. B．It can be reduced by developing new generative AI systems. C．It may pollute the environment if improperly thrown away. D．It is mainly produced by common electronic products like phones. 39．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．Moreover, there’s another problem as well. B．As a result, they devoted much money to recycling. C．However, some companies care little about customers. D．Instead, the use of AI products is increasing even faster. 40．What will the writer most probably talk about next? A．The advantages of using generative AI. B．The history of inventing generative AI. C．The influence AI has on the environment. D．The ways to solve AI’s e-waste problem. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 A 13,000-mile dragon of earth and stone winds its way through mountains and countryside in northern China. Its long history is almost as old as the wall itself. The Great Wall began as many separate walls built by different ancient states during the Chunqiu period. At that time, people moved from place to place, and wars often happened. When Emperor Qin Shi Huang united all the states in 221 BCE, the mountains in the north were still easy for enemies to attack. 41 This hard work created one long wall that ran from west to east. Under the Han Dynasty, the wall grew even longer and stronger. It finally reached more than 3,700 miles. Building such a long wall was extremely difficult. Millions of workers — soldiers, farmers, and prisoners — were forced to leave their homes and work on the wall. 42 Poems and stories from that time tell us that many workers lost their lives while building it. The wall was built to keep enemies out of China, but today it does the opposite — it welcomes millions of visitors from all over the world each year. 43 However, having so many visitors has caused some harm to the old wall. Some parts have been worn down by footsteps, and a few visitors have even left marks on the stones. To protect this great wonder, the Chinese government is now taking action. 44 It is one of the largest man-made structures on Earth and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. This means it is recognized as a place of great importance to all people. Even now, new parts of the Wall are still being found every few years. 45 Their discovery shows us that the Wall is even larger than we thought, and it continues to remind us of what people can achieve. A．Today, the Wall’s main purpose is cultural. B．The wall was built with earth, stones, and bricks. C．They carried heavy stones and bricks up the mountains. D．People come to see its beauty and learn about its history. E．These parts branch off from the main wall and go into forests and mountains. F．To protect his people, the Emperor ordered workers to connect and strengthen these old walls. 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，在短文空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。将所填答案填写在相应题号的横线上。 Pegasus 3, directed by Han Han and starring Shen Teng, has become the biggest hit of the 2026 Spring Festival holiday.

They s 56 as Chinese teenagers. When artificial intelligence (AI) makes life easier than ever, what is the true v 57 of human beings? Actually, a group of high school students in Shenzhen, South China o 58 their answers and touched millions of people. Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese teacher from Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School, r 59 did a survey with her students. She asked only one question: “If you must pick one Chinese character to prove that you are not AI, what would it be?” She got 54 answers in all. These answers surprised Ms. Yu. Later, a video about them became popular online, starting a hot talk about what it means to be a real human. Two students gave o 60 answers: “hurried” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, but why do patients c 61 them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is shaped by our feelings.” Another student wrote, “People love to slow down with those they care about, w 62 AI only cares about speed and right answers.” Some other students chose words like “doubtful” and “limited”. One student wrote, “AI seems to be boundless, but e 63 about me is limited — the knowledge I’ve gained, the people I meet, my short life and so on. So in some ways, I am e 64 more valuable than AI.” There were also answers like courage, faith, hate, regret, love and hurt. “What t 65 moves people is not just a lesson, but the warm humanity that can never be taken away by technology,” Ms. Yu said. 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Do you have a goal you want to achieve before your next birthday? Or by the end of the next five years, perhaps? We often hear about the importance of setting goals. We may think of these goals as the key to our happiness—achieve them and everything will be perfect. But have you ever reached a goal and instead of feeling happy, you've thought, “Is that it?” Or, “Now what?” That feeling has a name. It’s called “arrival fallacy”—the illusion (错误的观念) that reaching our goals will bring us lasting happiness. Whether it’s a new job, owning your dream home or anything else—there might be some initial (最初的) joy, but if you’re experiencing arrival fallacy, that may be followed by emptiness (空虚) and under stress to achieve something new. So why does this happen? Surely achieving our goals is enough to make us happy? Not always. According to experts, we might be overestimating (高估) the happiness that such achievements will bring And social scientist Adam Dorr says we often make the mistake of imagining our goal as a fixed object, when really it’s just part of life. But Ben Shahar adds that arrival fallacy doesn’t mean we shouldn’t set goals—in fact, we need them to help give our lives focus. As well as large things, our goals should include many small things, like helping out more around the house or spending more time with family—small but important goals that don’t just “end”. If we really want to beat arrival fallacy, we also have to work out what makes us happy. And in surveys, spending quality time with people we care about is often number one for happiness. Even if we do have clear career goals, experts remind us to think about enjoying the journey too—and not just the destination (目的地). 66．What is “arrival fallacy”? 67．How might someone feel after reaching a goal if they experience “arrival fallacy”? 68．Why do we have the feeling “arrival fallacy”? 69．What does social scientist Adam Dorr suggest about the nature of goals? 70．What will you do to beat “arrival fallacy”?  (请自拟一句话作答) 八、作文（满分20分） 71．时光荏苒，光阴似箭。在三年的初中生活里，你肯定遇到过许多良师益友，其中谁会是你最难忘的人呢？请以“The Most Unforgettable Person”为题，用英语写一篇短文，讲述你和他（她）之间的故事。 注意： 1. 内容必须包括所给的提示要点，可适当发挥。 2. 词数90左右，短文开头已给出，不计入总词数。 3. 表达中请勿提及真实校名及姓名。 The Most Unforgettable Person How time flies!
