Known as “the deep-sea explorer”, she and her team have pushed the boundaries of human knowledge by discovering the world’s deepest known animal ecosystem below 9,000 meters, a breakthrough published in a top scientific journal in 2025. Born in a small city in Jiangxi Province, Du developed a strong curiosity about the ocean from an early age. She often spent weekends reading marine life books and dreamed of exploring the sea’s unknown parts. After graduating college with a marine biology major, she devoted herself to deep-sea research — a challenging field lacking sufficient support at the time. Many peers advised her to choose a more stable job, but she stuck to her dream and pursued further studies in deep-sea exploration. In 2024, Du led her team on a deep-sea dive mission. The journey was difficult: extreme deep-sea pressure could easily damage diving equipment, and the dark, cold environment hindered data collection. The team nearly gave up at times, but Du encouraged them with her firm determination. “Every difficulty we overcome brings us closer to the deep sea’s truth,” she said. After months of hard work, they made the extraordinary discovery that shocked the global scientific community. Nature commented that Du’s discovery opened a new chapter in deep-sea research and provided valuable insights into life’s survival in extreme environments. Her work expands human understanding of the ocean and inspires more young people to pursue science and technology careers. Du remains modest, saying the discovery is the team’s collective effort, and she will continue exploring the deep sea to uncover more of its secrets. 4. What is Du’s main achievement in paragraph 1?

As Guangming Daily reported, nearly half of all positions definitely require AI literacy, covering not only tech roles but also operations, design and marketing. Liberal arts graduates have become the most sought-after talents, with top firms offering five-figure salaries, which has dominated the long-running debate over arts or science being the key to future success. Experts note this is neither a win for liberal arts nor a setback for science. Instead, rigid disciplinary labels are fading, and multidisciplinary hybrid talents are rising rapidly. The argument of “liberal arts superiority” comes from misunderstanding employers’ real demands. AI has evolved beyond a mere computational tool: it now handles emotional interaction and ethical judgment, where humanistic thinking stands out. This has created new jobs like AI narrative designers, but these roles value critical humanistic capacity rather than just a liberal arts diploma. Pure coding skills are increasingly automated by AI. The most valuable engineers today combine technical expertise with human awareness. A successful AI product needs both solid algorithms (算法) and empathetic design. This situation exposes higher education’s imperfection: decades of disciplinary silos (学科壁垒) have separated arts students from technology and science learners from ethics. Sociologists believe the arts-science debate is full of false beliefs, as it sets two disciplines against each other and ignores their connection. AI is breaking old rules, and the only irreplaceable strength is hybrid capability. The future belongs to those who break disciplinary limits and integrate technology with humanity, not those stuck in single labels. 8. What does the underlined word “sought-after” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Popular and needed. B. Experienced and skilled. C. Well-educated and polite. D. Hard-working and careful. 9. What kind of talents are most valued in the 2026 job market? A. Graduates with liberal arts degrees. B. Engineers with excellent pure coding skills. C. Multidisciplinary talents with hybrid capabilities. D. Graduates with professional science knowledge. 10. What can we infer about higher education? A. It has kept pace with the job market’s demands. B. It should tear down walls between arts and science. C. It has successfully cultivated critical thinking for students. D. It focuses more on practical skills than theoretical knowledge. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. AI needs integrated talents. B. Arts graduates are more popular. C. Arts-science debate is meaningful. D. AI replaces science skills completely. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍AI时代就业市场的人才需求变化与学科融合趋势。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“with top firms offering five-figure salaries, which has dominated the long-running debate over arts or science being the key to future success. (顶尖企业开出五位数薪资，这也主导了长期以来关于文科还是理科是未来成功关键的争论)”可知，文科毕业生已成为最受追捧的人才，由此猜测sought-after意为“受追捧的”，与Popular and needed意思相近。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, rigid disciplinary labels are fading, and multidisciplinary hybrid talents are rising rapidly. (相反，僵化的学科标签正在淡化，跨学科复合型人才正在迅速崛起)”可知，2026年就业市场最看重跨学科复合型人才。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This situation exposes higher education’s imperfection: decades of disciplinary silos have separated arts students from technology and science learners from ethics. (这种情况暴露了高等教育的缺陷：数十年的学科壁垒将文科生与技术隔离开，理科生与伦理隔离开)”可知，高等教育应打破文理壁垒。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“AI is breaking old rules, and the only irreplaceable strength is hybrid capability. (AI正在打破旧规则，唯一不可替代的优势是复合能力)”以及“The future belongs to those who break disciplinary limits and integrate technology with humanity, not those stuck in single labels. (未来属于那些打破学科界限、将技术与人文融为一体的人，而不是那些被困在单一标签里的人)”可知，文章主旨是AI需要复合型人才。 D Have you ever struggled to follow a conversation in a crowded café, with clattering dishes and chattering voices drowning out your friend? You might think it’s a sign of hearing problems, but new research published in PLOS One tells a different story — this difficulty often lies in how your brain processes sound, not your ears themselves. Led by Bonnie Lau from the University of Washington School of Medicine, the study tested 49 participants divided into three groups: those with autism (自闭症), those with fetal alcohol syndrome, and typical developing individuals. All had normal hearing, but their ability to understand speech in noisy settings varied greatly. The key finding was that cognitive (认知的) ability strongly influenced their performance, and this link held true across all three groups, regardless of diagnosis. To confirm their assumption, researchers designed a computer-based task. Participants listened to a male speaker’s commands (e. g. “Ready, Eagle, go to Green Five now”) while two background voices grew gradually louder. They had to focus on the main speaker and select the matching colored and numbered box. Afterward, they took standardized intelligence tests covering verbal skills, nonverbal ability, and mental reasoning. The results showed a clear connection between intellectual ability and speech perception in noisy environments. Lau explained that listening in complex settings requires heavy cognitive work. The brain must separate different speech streams, focus on the target speaker, block background noise, decode language, and even use social skills like smiling or nodding — all of which increase cognitive load. This challenges the common misconception that listening difficulties always mean hearing loss. “You don’t have to have a hearing loss to struggle in noisy places,” Lau noted. While acknowledging that the study’s small sample size means its results require further application, Lau emphasized that the findings offer practical insights. For example, in classrooms, having students seated closer to the teacher or providing hearing-assistive tools can help, especially for neurodivergent (神经多样化的) individuals or those with lower cognitive ability. So next time you find it hard to hear in a crowd, don’t blame your ears. Your cognitive ability plays a key role, and small changes to your surroundings can make a big difference. 12. What is the purpose of the question raised in paragraph? A. To stress the harm of loud noise to ears. B. To introduce a common misunderstanding. C. To present a new finding about hearing loss. D. To show the inconvenience of hearing problems. 13. What can be inferred from the study? A. Intelligence tests predict noisy listening accurately. B. Quiet environments help improve the cognitive ability. C. Normal hearing doesn’t ensure clear listening in noise. D. Typical developing individuals act best in noisy listening. 14. What links cognitive ability and listening difficulty in noise? A. Multiple tasks raise cognitive load. B. Brain cannot tell background noises. C. Brain values social skills more highly. D. Hearing loss slows speech processing. 15. Which is the Bonnie Lau’s attitude toward the study findings? A. Doubtful and critical. B. Unconcerned and casual. C. Confident and optimistic. D. Objective but cautious. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是一项关于嘈杂环境中听力困难的科学研究及其结论。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You might think it’s a sign of hearing problems, but new research published in PLOS One tells a different story—this difficulty often lies in how your brain processes sound, not your ears themselves. (你可能认为这是听力问题的迹象，但发表在《PLOS One》上的新研究揭示了不同真相——这种困难通常源于大脑处理声音的方式，而非耳朵本身)”可知，开头问题用于引出普遍误解。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“All had normal hearing, but their ability to understand speech in noisy settings varied greatly. (所有参与者听力都正常，但他们在嘈杂环境中理解言语的能力差异巨大)”可知，听力正常不代表在噪音中能听清。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Lau explained that listening in complex settings requires heavy cognitive work. The brain must separate different speech streams, focus on the target speaker, block background noise, decode language, and even use social skills like smiling or nodding — all of which increase cognitive load. (Lau解释说，在复杂环境中聆听需要大量认知活动。大脑必须区分不同语音、聚焦目标说话者、屏蔽背景噪音、解码语言，甚至运用微笑点头等社交技巧——所有这些都会增加认知负荷)”可知，多项任务提升认知负荷是连接认知能力与噪音听力困难的关键。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“While acknowledging that the study’s small sample size means its results require further application, Lau emphasized that the findings offer practical insights. (尽管Lau承认该研究样本量较小，其结果需要进一步应用验证，但她仍强调这些发现具有实用价值)”可知，她的态度是客观且谨慎。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Rice Cultivation: A Scientific and Sustainable Way Rice is one of the world’s most important food crops, feeding billions annually.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过回忆祖父和他的旧钟，探讨了时间、记忆与情感的主题。作者在祖父去世后，从这只看似无用的旧钟中领悟到，虽然时间会流逝，但爱和记忆可以永存心中。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：它不再走了；它的指针很久以前就停止了转动。A. slipping滑动；B. moving移动；C. beating跳动；D. floating漂浮。根据前文“It didn’t work anymore”可知，时钟不走了，指针停止移动。 【22题详解】 考查形容词。句意：对大多数人来说，它只是一个无用的物件，但对我来说，它是我过去的一段鲜活的记忆。A. useless无用的；B. valuable有价值的；C. natural自然的；D. standard标准的。根据前文“It didn’t work anymore”以及“To most people”可知，对大多数人来说，坏了的时钟是无用的。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：我祖父过去每天早上都会照料它，小心翼翼地照顾它，就像他在照料一个小生命一样。A. manage管理；B. watch观看；C. create创造；D. tend照料。根据后文“caring for it carefully as if he were tending a small life”可知，祖父是照料时钟。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他总是说：“时间是短暂的，但记忆不会消失。”A. precious珍贵的；B. cruel残酷的；C. limited有限的，短暂的；D. silent安静的。根据“but memories don’t disappear”的转折，以及全文对时间流逝的感慨，这里应强调时间的“有限”或“短暂”。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：那时我从未真正理解他的话，因为我每天都忙于匆匆度过。A. matched匹配；B. measured测量；C. remembered记得；D. appreciated理解，欣赏。根据后文“for I was too busy rushing through each day”可知，作者当时忙于生活，没有真正理解祖父的话。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他去世后，没有他的日常活动，房子似乎空荡荡的。A. warm温暖的；B. empty空的；C. full满的；D. noisy吵闹的。根据前文“After he passed away”可知，祖父去世后房子没有了他的日常活动，显得空荡荡的。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：那只曾经被擦得锃亮的、备受喜爱的钟，积满了灰尘。A. forgotten忘记；B. repaired修理；C. polished擦亮；D. decorated装饰。根据前文“caring for it carefully”的细节，可以推断他经常擦拭保养，所以钟曾经是“被擦得锃亮的”。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我多次考虑处理掉它，但我下不了决心。A. paying for支付；B. handing out分发；C. looking after照顾；D. getting rid of摆脱，处理掉。根据前文“gathered dust”以及后文“but I couldn’t bring myself to do it”可知，是一种想丢弃但又不舍的矛盾心理。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：盖子掉了下来，我看到了里面的东西：微小的轮子和弹簧，仍然完好无损。A. messages信息；B. contents内容，东西；C. world世界；D. secrets秘密。根据后文“tiny wheels and springs, still complete”可知，作者看到的是时钟里面的东西。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在那一刻，我意识到时钟并没有真的消失。A. gone消失的；B. old老的；C. quiet安静的；D. helpless无助的。根据后文“It had just paused”可知，时钟只是暂停了，并没有真的消失。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：祖父的话开始在我脑海中回响。A. fade褪色；B. remain保持；C. disappear消失；D. echo回响。结合前文“I realized the clock wasn’t really ____ . It had just paused”作者领悟到时钟的意义，祖父之前说的话应该是在脑海中“回响”，体现作者对祖父话语的重新理解。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：我们不能阻止时间流逝，但我们可以珍惜留下的爱和教诲。A. check检查；B. find发现；C. treasure珍惜；D. catch抓住。根据前文“We cannot stop time from moving”与后文“the love and lessons left behind”的对比，我们能做的是“珍惜”留下的爱和教诲。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：那座沉默的时钟现在提醒着我一个道理：最珍贵的东西不在于运动，而在于我们心中怀揣的情感。A. waits等待；B. reminds提醒；C. works工作；D. begins开始。根据后文“me of the lesson”可知，时钟提醒作者这一道理，remind sb. of sth.表示“提醒某人某事”。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：那座沉默的时钟现在提醒着我一个道理：最珍贵的东西不在于运动，而在于我们心中怀揣的情感。A. conditions条件；B. advantages优势；C. experience经历；D. affection情感。根据前文“the love and lessons left behind”以及后文“we hold in our hearts”可知，心中珍视的是情感。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：它不再滴答作响，但它比任何我知道的时钟都更响亮。A. speaks说话，表达；B. calls打电话；C. shouts喊叫；D. sings唱歌。根据后文“louder than any clock I have ever known”以及前文时钟承载的意义可知，这里表示时钟比任何时钟都更响亮。 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或所给单词的正确形式。 Art has always been a reflection of human civilization, serving ____36____ a bridge between the past and the present.

The movement’s emphasis on individual perception has inspired countless ____43____ (artist) to break free from conventions and explore new forms of expression. ____44____ (view) an Impressionist painting is not merely an act of seeing: it is an experience of feeling. As one art critic put ____45____, “Impressionism is not about what you see, but how you see.” 【答案】36. as 37. influential 38. rejected 39. detailed 40. to show 41. symbolizing 42. and 43. artists 44. Viewing 45. it 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了印象派艺术的起源、特点、代表人物及影响。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：艺术一直是人类文明的反映，充当过去与现在之间的桥梁。serving是serve的V-ing形式，其后接a bridge between the past and the present作宾语；由于serve as是固定短语，表示“充当、作为”，介词as符合题意。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在历史上最具影响力的艺术运动中，印象派因其对光与色的革命性手法而脱颖而出。the most ____ (influence) art movements是形容词最高级结构，要将名词influence变成形容词influential，作定语。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：19世纪，一群法国艺术家拒绝了学院派绘画的传统规则。In the 19th century是一般过去时的时间状语，主语a group of French artists和谓语reject之间是主动关系，用一般过去时的主动语态，将reject变成过去式rejected。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他们没有创作细节丰富的历史场景，而是选择捕捉日常生活中的瞬间。所填词作定语修饰名词scenes，要将名词detail变成形容词detailed。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：克劳德·莫奈经常在一天中的不同时间画同一景色，以展示光线如何改变其外观。句中已有谓语painted，show是动词，无连词，要将其变成非谓语动词；展示光线的变化是在一天中的不同时间画同一景色的目的，要用动词不定式to show作目的状语。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他的名作《印象·日出》象征着艺术上的全新尝试，也赋予了该流派名称。句中已有谓语动词gave，symbol是名词，应使用其动词形式symbolize，变为非谓语形式；由于work与symbolize之间是逻辑上的主动关系，要用现在分词symbolizing，作定语。 【42题详解】 考查并列连词。句意：如今，印象派作品在世界各地的主要博物馆展出，而且它们每年吸引数百万游客。空前后的两个句子Impressionist works are displayed in major museums around the world(印象派作品在世界各地的主要博物馆展出)和they attract millions of visitors each year(它们每年吸引数百万游客)之间是顺承关系，要用并列连词and连接前后两个分句。 【43题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：该流派对个人感知的重视激励了无数艺术家打破常规，探索新的表达形式。countless是形容词，意为“无数的”，要接可数名词的复数形式，将名词artist变成复数形式artists。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：欣赏一幅印象派画作不仅仅是观看行为：它是一种感受体验。_______(view) an Impressionist painting作主语，要将动词view变成非谓语动词；根据is not merely an act of seeing(不仅仅是观看行为)可知，“欣赏一幅印象派画作”是习惯性动作，要用view的动名词V-ing形式，且首字母v要大写。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：正如一位艺术评论家所说，“印象派不在于你看到什么，而在于你如何看”。由于as sb. put it是固定表达，意为“正如某人所说”，代词it符合题干要求。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 为响应学校 “健康周”(Health Week)的号召，你校学生会将向全校同学发出“健康生活，从我做起”的倡议，请你代表学生会用英语写一份倡议书，内容包括： 1. 健康生活的重要性； 2. 具体倡议内容； 3. 发出呼吁。 注意1.词数80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 To answer the call of our school’s Health Week, the Students’ Union puts forward an initiative to advocate a healthy lifestyle.

As a high school student who loves new ideas and digital creation, I recently took part in a school coding competition. I wanted to make a useful app to help old people use digital machines easily. My parents supported my interest, but they always told me not to let my schoolwork get worse because of the competition. Some of my classmates also didn’t believe in my plan. They thought my idea was too simple to get praise from the teachers who would judge the work. But I was sure I could finish it well. I used all my free time to collect useful information, change the difficult steps and make every part of the app better. However, three days before the competition ended, I met a big problem: my laptop broke down suddenly. All the files and codes I saved might be lost forever. I felt very upset and worried. I looked at the black screen and thought all my hard work was for nothing. I even wanted to give up the whole project. My grandmother saw how sad I was. She always encouraged me to follow my dreams. She came to comfort me and told me about her hard life when she was young. She said being hard-working, calm and strong was very important to solve problems. Her words made me feel better at once. I went to ask my computer teacher for help. Luckily, the teacher helped me get back most of the important information and gave me good ideas about the app. Time was very short, so I stayed up late for two nights to make the program again and improve all its functions. On the day of the competition, I walked onto the stage confidently. I showed my app to the judges and told them how helpful it was for old people. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: The moment I finished my presentation, the whole hall fell into dead silence. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the award ceremony, my grandmother hugged me tightly, with pride shining in her eyes. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: The moment I finished my presentation, the whole hall fell into dead silence. Soon, warm and loud applause burst out everywhere. The judges smiled and commented that my app was practical and full of kindness for the elderly. I stood quietly on the stage, filled with pure joy and gentle relief. Many classmates craned their necks and cheered for me. Those who once doubted my idea now showed sincere admiration. All the tiredness from staying up late and repeated failures gradually disappeared at this moment. Paragraph 2: After the award ceremony, my grandmother hugged me tightly, with pride shining in her eyes. I grasped my prize carefully and expressed my heartfelt thanks to her. Her warm words calmed my anxiety and inspired me to rebuild confidence in tough times. This unforgettable experience leaves me a precious lesson. Whenever I face setbacks in the future, I will choose to be calm and persistent, bravely move forward and finally gain beautiful rewards through constant efforts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了热爱新想法和数字创作的高中生“我”参加学校编程比赛，想制作一款帮助老年人轻松使用数字机器的应用程序，虽遭同学质疑，但“我”坚信自己能做好。然而，比赛结束前三天笔记本电脑突然故障，文件和代码可能丢失，“我”想放弃，在祖母鼓励下，“我”向计算机老师求助，在老师帮助下找回重要信息，熬夜重新制作程序并完善功能，比赛当天自信展示应用程序。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我一完成展示，整个大厅一片死寂。”可知，第一段可描写展示结束后大家的反应以及“我”成功后的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖典礼结束后，祖母紧紧地拥抱了我，眼中闪烁着自豪的光芒。”可知，第二段可描写祖母拥抱“我”以及“我”的感悟。 2.续写线索：大家反应——同学态度转变——“我”的疲惫消失——祖母拥抱“我”——“我”表达感谢——“我”的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①评论：comment/ remark ②表达感谢：express my heartfelt thanks to/ show my gratitude to ③面对：face/ confront 情绪类 ①真诚的：sincere/ genuine ②坚持不懈的：persistent/persevering 【点睛】【高分句型1】The judges smiled and commented that my app was practical and full of kindness for the elderly.（运用了that引导的宾语从句。） 【高分句型2】Whenever I face setbacks in the future, I will choose to be calm and persistent, bravely move forward and finally gain beautiful rewards through constant efforts.（运用了whenever引导的时间状语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第二学期南康三中期中 高二英语练习 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.

B Du Mengran, a researcher at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has recently made headlines as one of the 2025 Nature’s Top 10 Scientists. Known as “the deep-sea explorer”, she and her team have pushed the boundaries of human knowledge by discovering the world’s deepest known animal ecosystem below 9,000 meters, a breakthrough published in a top scientific journal in 2025. Born in a small city in Jiangxi Province, Du developed a strong curiosity about the ocean from an early age. She often spent weekends reading marine life books and dreamed of exploring the sea’s unknown parts. After graduating college with a marine biology major, she devoted herself to deep-sea research — a challenging field lacking sufficient support at the time. Many peers advised her to choose a more stable job, but she stuck to her dream and pursued further studies in deep-sea exploration. In 2024, Du led her team on a deep-sea dive mission. The journey was difficult: extreme deep-sea pressure could easily damage diving equipment, and the dark, cold environment hindered data collection. The team nearly gave up at times, but Du encouraged them with her firm determination. “Every difficulty we overcome brings us closer to the deep sea’s truth,” she said. After months of hard work, they made the extraordinary discovery that shocked the global scientific community. Nature commented that Du’s discovery opened a new chapter in deep-sea research and provided valuable insights into life’s survival in extreme environments. Her work expands human understanding of the ocean and inspires more young people to pursue science and technology careers. Du remains modest, saying the discovery is the team’s collective effort, and she will continue exploring the deep sea to uncover more of its secrets. 4. What is Du’s main achievement in paragraph 1? A. A deep-sea diving depth record. B. Lifelong curiosity about the ocean. C. New diving equipment invention. D. The deep animal ecosystem discovery. 5. What challenges did Du face in her deep-sea exploration? A. Peer oppositions and extreme weather. B. Family pressure and data collection failures. C. Limited support and diving equipment risks. D. Funding shortages and communication barriers. 6. Which of the following best describes Du? A. Honest and confident. B. Careful and friendly. C. Patient and modest. D. Determined and devoted. 7. What can be the best title for the passage? A. A New Record: Deep-sea Diving B. A Deep-sea Explorer: Du Mengran C. A Great Mission: Finding Sea Life D. A Serious Research: Deep-sea Exploration C In the 2026 spring campus recruitment season, a noticeable shift has hit China’s job market. As Guangming Daily reported, nearly half of all positions definitely require AI literacy, covering not only tech roles but also operations, design and marketing. Liberal arts graduates have become the most sought-after talents, with top firms offering five-figure salaries, which has dominated the long-running debate over arts or science being the key to future success. Experts note this is neither a win for liberal arts nor a setback for science. Instead, rigid disciplinary labels are fading, and multidisciplinary hybrid talents are rising rapidly. The argument of “liberal arts superiority” comes from misunderstanding employers’ real demands. AI has evolved beyond a mere computational tool: it now handles emotional interaction and ethical judgment, where humanistic thinking stands out. This has created new jobs like AI narrative designers, but these roles value critical humanistic capacity rather than just a liberal arts diploma. Pure coding skills are increasingly automated by AI. The most valuable engineers today combine technical expertise with human awareness. A successful AI product needs both solid algorithms (算法) and empathetic design. This situation exposes higher education’s imperfection: decades of disciplinary silos (学科壁垒) have separated arts students from technology and science learners from ethics. Sociologists believe the arts-science debate is full of false beliefs, as it sets two disciplines against each other and ignores their connection. AI is breaking old rules, and the only irreplaceable strength is hybrid capability. The future belongs to those who break disciplinary limits and integrate technology with humanity, not those stuck in single labels. 8. What does the underlined word “sought-after” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Popular and needed. B. Experienced and skilled. C. Well-educated and polite. D. Hard-working and careful. 9. What kind of talents are most valued in the 2026 job market? A. Graduates with liberal arts degrees. B. Engineers with excellent pure coding skills. C. Multidisciplinary talents with hybrid capabilities. D. Graduates with professional science knowledge. 10. What can we infer about higher education? A. It has kept pace with the job market’s demands. B. It should tear down walls between arts and science. C. It has successfully cultivated critical thinking for students. D. It focuses more on practical skills than theoretical knowledge. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. AI needs integrated talents. B. Arts graduates are more popular. C. Arts-science debate is meaningful. D. AI replaces science skills completely. D Have you ever struggled to follow a conversation in a crowded café, with clattering dishes and chattering voices drowning out your friend? You might think it’s a sign of hearing problems, but new research published in PLOS One tells a different story — this difficulty often lies in how your brain processes sound, not your ears themselves. Led by Bonnie Lau from the University of Washington School of Medicine, the study tested 49 participants divided into three groups: those with autism (自闭症), those with fetal alcohol syndrome, and typical developing individuals. All had normal hearing, but their ability to understand speech in noisy settings varied greatly. The key finding was that cognitive (认知的) ability strongly influenced their performance, and this link held true across all three groups, regardless of diagnosis. To confirm their assumption, researchers designed a computer-based task. Participants listened to a male speaker’s commands (e. g. “Ready, Eagle, go to Green Five now”) while two background voices grew gradually louder. They had to focus on the main speaker and select the matching colored and numbered box. Afterward, they took standardized intelligence tests covering verbal skills, nonverbal ability, and mental reasoning. The results showed a clear connection between intellectual ability and speech perception in noisy environments. Lau explained that listening in complex settings requires heavy cognitive work. The brain must separate different speech streams, focus on the target speaker, block background noise, decode language, and even use social skills like smiling or nodding — all of which increase cognitive load. This challenges the common misconception that listening difficulties always mean hearing loss. “You don’t have to have a hearing loss to struggle in noisy places,” Lau noted. While acknowledging that the study’s small sample size means its results require further application, Lau emphasized that the findings offer practical insights. For example, in classrooms, having students seated closer to the teacher or providing hearing-assistive tools can help, especially for neurodivergent (神经多样化的) individuals or those with lower cognitive ability. So next time you find it hard to hear in a crowd, don’t blame your ears. Your cognitive ability plays a key role, and small changes to your surroundings can make a big difference. 12. What is the purpose of the question raised in paragraph? A. To stress the harm of loud noise to ears. B. To introduce a common misunderstanding. C. To present a new finding about hearing loss. D. To show the inconvenience of hearing problems. 13. What can be inferred from the study? A. Intelligence tests predict noisy listening accurately. B. Quiet environments help improve the cognitive ability. C. Normal hearing doesn’t ensure clear listening in noise. D. Typical developing individuals act best in noisy listening. 14. What links cognitive ability and listening difficulty in noise? A. Multiple tasks raise cognitive load. B. Brain cannot tell background noises. C. Brain values social skills more highly. D. Hearing loss slows speech processing. 15. Which is the Bonnie Lau’s attitude toward the study findings? A. Doubtful and critical. B. Unconcerned and casual. C. Confident and optimistic. D. Objective but cautious. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Rice Cultivation: A Scientific and Sustainable Way Rice is one of the world’s most important food crops, feeding billions annually. With technological development, traditional rice planting has evolved into a more scientific and efficient mode that boosts yield and protects the environment. ____16____ If you want to grow rice modernly, here are key steps. ____17____ As the saying goes, “cultivating good seedlings is half of successful rice cultivation.” First, select sturdy, full rice grains as seeds.

As a high school student who loves new ideas and digital creation, I recently took part in a school coding competition. I wanted to make a useful app to help old people use digital machines easily. My parents supported my interest, but they always told me not to let my schoolwork get worse because of the competition. Some of my classmates also didn’t believe in my plan. They thought my idea was too simple to get praise from the teachers who would judge the work. But I was sure I could finish it well. I used all my free time to collect useful information, change the difficult steps and make every part of the app better. However, three days before the competition ended, I met a big problem: my laptop broke down suddenly. All the files and codes I saved might be lost forever. I felt very upset and worried. I looked at the black screen and thought all my hard work was for nothing. I even wanted to give up the whole project. My grandmother saw how sad I was. She always encouraged me to follow my dreams. She came to comfort me and told me about her hard life when she was young. She said being hard-working, calm and strong was very important to solve problems. Her words made me feel better at once. I went to ask my computer teacher for help. Luckily, the teacher helped me get back most of the important information and gave me good ideas about the app. Time was very short, so I stayed up late for two nights to make the program again and improve all its functions. On the day of the competition, I walked onto the stage confidently. I showed my app to the judges and told them how helpful it was for old people. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: The moment I finished my presentation, the whole hall fell into dead silence. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the award ceremony, my grandmother hugged me tightly, with pride shining in her eyes. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
