As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 21. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 22. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. B At 19, Mahmood Akram has made a remarkable achievement. He can read, write, and type in 400 languages and speak 46 fluently. This incredible ability showcases his deeprooted passion for languages. Akram’s language learning journey started at the age of four, under the guidance of his father who is proficient in 16 languages. Akram mastered the English alphabet (字母表) in just six days and the 299 alphabets of Tamil in three weeks. By the time he was six, he had already surpassed his father’s language knowledge and was eager to explore more languages independently. At eight, he became the youngest multilingual (多语言的) typist, setting his first world record. At ten, he wrote the Indian national anthem in 20 languages within an hour, achieving his second world record. By 12, he could handle 400 languages and won a German award in a competition against 70 linguistic experts. However, Akram’s passion for languages brought challenges to his traditional education. After fifth-grade, he couldn’t find a language-focused school in India, so he studied online. Later, he received a scholarship to study in Austria. Currently, he is pursuing multiple degrees in English literature, and animation. For Akram, his achievements are part of a bigger goal. He has found that many people believe English is enough for global communication and he wants to change that and encourage people to learn more languages. Starting to teach at the Akram Global Languages Institute founded by his father at 14, he now conducts language workshops abroad in countries like Thailand, and Indonesia. He believes that learning languages can build connections between people and dreams of translating Tamil literary masterpieces. From a curious four-year-old learning alphabets in Chennai to a world record-holding polyglot, Mahmood Akram’s journey is a powerful reminder of the impact of passion and perseverance. He hopes to inspire others to value linguistic diversity. “I want to be a language professor and a role model for others. Knowing a language is a powerful way to make people feel at home, appreciating linguistic diversity and embracing their cultural identities.” 24. What role did Akram’s father play in his language learning journey? A. Teach him to speak fluently. B. Help him set a world record. C. Send him to a language school. D. Equip him with learning methods. 25. How was Akram challenged in elementary education? A. He had a lack of resources. B. He had to drop out of school. C. He was rejected for scholarship. D. He pursued several degrees at a time. 26. What might be Akram’s attitude towards Tamil masterpieces? A. Admiring. B. Dismissive. C. Critical. D. Thrilled. 27. What can be inferred from Akram’s words? A. Learning a language requires talent. B. Inspiration serves as a motivation for life. C. Language enhances a sense of belonging. D. Passion can transform into a profession. C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 28. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods? A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before. C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions. 29. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments. 30. What did the researchers find about the SCG? A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS. C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being D The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots. These toys are flexible enough to conduct limited conversations with children and to respond to them just as they finish talking. Are these interactions enough to provide the “personalized education” one company claimed? Will toys like Curio’s Grem help or harm children’s language development? The more language that is addressed to children, the bigger their vocabulary will be. But these vocabulary words are not learned because they were spoken out of context, as current AI-infused toys do, but from caregivers who make the words come alive. Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children’s language outcomes. In fact, if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers, these toys may impede children’s language learning. When a caregiver describes something that a child is interested in, children can learn its name. A chatbot is less able to teach children about their environments because it cannot see and describe a toy the child is holding. Even if it could see, it does not have prior knowledge about the toys a child owns. Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words — they grow from hearing words in conversations that capture the child’s attention. Finally, children are also seeking further information about the sounds of their language. The caregivers’ repetition of the word emphasizes its name while also giving the child more information about the sound of the word. If the child mispronounces the word, the caregiver will likely emphasize the correct pronunciation. Commercially available chatbots can’t reliably do this. Quality language expands on what toddlers (学步的儿童) know, takes the child’s perspective and past history into consideration, and responds to children’s questions. We have seen some work that shows social robots can help preschool children learn vocabulary, and that conversational agents who ask older children to respond to educational television programs can help children learn. However, we need more research to know the effects these robots have on babies’ and toddlers’ language learning. Until that happens, we believe that the humans in toddlers’ lives are responsible for conducting the conversations that grow children’s language. As a researcher and his teammates state, “Our babies shouldn’t be lab mice for toy companies.” 32. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To point out a problem. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To put forward the viewpoint. D. To introduce the topic. 33. What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Prevent. B. Facilitate. C. Secure. D. Maintain. 34. What can a caregiver do to help children learn a language? A. Provide interaction in context. B. Emphasize their names. C. Weaken their attention. D. Repeat grammar rules. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Is It Necessary to Interact with Caregivers? B. Will AI-Powered Toys Be a New Toy Trend? C. Are Caregivers the Secret to Kids’ Overall Development? D. Can AI-Powered Toys Help Toddlers Learn Language? 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。 StoryTree is a website for sharing, encouraging, and recording personal and family memories and history. It can be done online or offline, in real-time, or in your own time, all in a fun and simple new way. ____36____ All of them work well together to support each other. ____37____ StoryTree is different. It lets you “tap” those photos and stories into your digital journal and topical memory books. Everyone belonging to your StoryTree can add and read the entries in real time, or at any time! Additionally, once a week StoryTree sends everyone in a StoryTree group an interesting prompt (提示) into their StoryChat as well as to their emails, to help bring back memories and encourage reflection and discussion. ____38____ (But if your brother tells a big fish story, you will surely want to correct it with the true version!) And if you prefer to save your stories and memories in an additional “private journal”, you can simply create a synchronized (同步的) personal StoryTree that only you can see. ____39____ In fact, create as many StoryTrees as you like, and synchronize as many as you like too! ____40____ It’s like having a kind and curious author come to your home whenever you want and have her interview you to compose your personal or family biography.

There are over 700 questions in five categories the StoryBook interviewer can ask you, all about your life and family, at your leisure. The fourth and final key tool is StoryBox. It can hold all your old photos, videos, memorable documents, talks, artwork, schoolwork to either store or to sort out later. A. StoryTree does all of this through four key tools. B. Memories can only be shared and preserved alone. C. Each person can read it and respond, or not, as they like. D. StoryTree can also serve as an “automated life-story writer”. E. Or just use StoryTree as a private journal without any group Tree at all. F. It can record whatever you put into your group StoryTree — automatically! G. Most apps let shared photos and life experiences be “Here today, gone tomorrow”. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 James Smith has long succeeded in competition, even in snowball fights as a child.

Their parents had booked a small cabin at the edge of a forest, a place their father described as “a hidden world full of wonders.” When they arrived, the siblings were immediately drawn to the quiet charm of the wooden cabin. It stood peacefully among tall pines, with sunlight flickering across its roof like dancing gold. Every morning, their father would take them into the woods, teaching them how to look at the forest the way a ranger would. He told them that trees facing the south usually grew thicker leaves because they got more sunlight. He showed them how to read little animal footprints, how to listen for streams, and how to find safe berries when they felt hungry. When the weather turned cloudy or rainy, the whole family would sit by the fireplace in the cabin, taking turns telling stories. The flames crackled cheerfully while shadows danced against the walls, creating a warm world of their own. One afternoon, however, their parents had to go out for a short errand. Before leaving, they reminded the siblings firmly not to go outside. David and Jane promised, but the promise didn’t last long. The gentle sound of the stream outside the cabin windows was simply too tempting. David looked at his sister and whispered, “Why don’t we go for a little adventure? We’ll take the flashlights — if it gets dark, we’ll still be okay.” Jane hesitated only for a moment before her curiosity won. The two slipped out and headed into the woods. The forest welcomed them with dappled sunlight spilling across the ground. Dry leaves crackled crisply under their feet, and a plump, unfamiliar bird hopped from branch to branch, chirping as if greeting them. When they got hungry, the siblings picked the same berries their father had shown them days earlier. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: However, the sky began to dim before they knew it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then David recalled their father’s tip about the south-facing side of the trees. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第二学期期中调研试卷 高二英语 2026.04 (本试卷满分150分 考试时间120分钟) 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读二遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the boy do next?

I ran into a problem with the library books I borrowed last month. The poetry book was supposed to be returned today, but I can’t find it anywhere. W: Tom, did you check the library’s policy for lost books? You might not have to pay the fine right away. M: Really? I was so worried. I thought I’d have to pay double the book’s cost, like my cousin did last year. What should I do first? W: First, go to the library’s front desk and report the loss. They’ll give you a two-week grace period to look for it again. If you still can’t find it, you only need to pay the original price within one month, not double. M: That’s a relief. I’ll go after class this afternoon. W: If it is really lost for good, let me know the exact cost. I was taking a part-time job at the campus bookstore to save up for a new notebook. We could take that job together and I’ll split half the book cost with you. M: That’s so kind of you, Lisa. 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.

In shallow ocean areas. C. In the depths of the sea. 19. What is mainly discussed about the vampire squid? A. The defense strategy. B. The hunting skills. C. The physical features. 20. How does the vampire squid defend itself? A. By releasing dark ink. B. By forming a shining cover. C. By battling with its attackers. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】Good morning, everyone. Let’s dive into a wonder of the deep sea — the vampire squid. Its name sounds scary, but it’s not a vampire. And it’s not quite a squid either. It’s a unique creature that lives in the dark oxygen low zones of the ocean, usually 600 to 900 meters below the surface. To survive the attacks from its enemies, it has developed an amazing defense strategy. When threatened, it doesn’t release dark ink like its shallow water cousins. Instead, it performs a magic trick. It turns itself inside out. It pulls its arms over its body, forming a huge cover. But that’s not all to make this display even more confusing. For attackers, the tips of its arms shine with light, creating an amazing light show. Scientists believe this combination of a physical cover and unexpected light is meant to frighten and distract its attackers, buying the vampire squid precious seconds to escape into the darkness. 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 The Future of Clean Energy in Homes Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO₂ emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 21. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 22. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了家庭清洁能源的未来，包括家庭排放来源、清洁能源技术及投资需求。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52%，HEATING 28%(以下是2022年家庭排放来源的细分。电力占52%，供暖占28%)”可知，电力和供暖两个类别加起来占家庭总排放量的四分之三以上。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution部分中“Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.(太阳能是家庭最容易获得的可再生能源。自2010年以来，光伏电池的进步使成本降低了80%，使其在许多地区都可行)”可知，太阳能电池板被强调为适用于不同气候的成本效益高的技术。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids部分中“Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade.(到2050年，太阳能和热泵等住宅可再生能源可以满足全球90%的家庭需求，但前提是未来十年的投资要增加两倍)”可知，Torres博士强调了能源转型需要更高的投资。故选C。 B At 19, Mahmood Akram has made a remarkable achievement. He can read, write, and type in 400 languages and speak 46 fluently. This incredible ability showcases his deeprooted passion for languages. Akram’s language learning journey started at the age of four, under the guidance of his father who is proficient in 16 languages. Akram mastered the English alphabet (字母表) in just six days and the 299 alphabets of Tamil in three weeks. By the time he was six, he had already surpassed his father’s language knowledge and was eager to explore more languages independently. At eight, he became the youngest multilingual (多语言的) typist, setting his first world record. At ten, he wrote the Indian national anthem in 20 languages within an hour, achieving his second world record. By 12, he could handle 400 languages and won a German award in a competition against 70 linguistic experts. However, Akram’s passion for languages brought challenges to his traditional education. After fifth-grade, he couldn’t find a language-focused school in India, so he studied online. Later, he received a scholarship to study in Austria. Currently, he is pursuing multiple degrees in English literature, and animation. For Akram, his achievements are part of a bigger goal. He has found that many people believe English is enough for global communication and he wants to change that and encourage people to learn more languages. Starting to teach at the Akram Global Languages Institute founded by his father at 14, he now conducts language workshops abroad in countries like Thailand, and Indonesia. He believes that learning languages can build connections between people and dreams of translating Tamil literary masterpieces. From a curious four-year-old learning alphabets in Chennai to a world record-holding polyglot, Mahmood Akram’s journey is a powerful reminder of the impact of passion and perseverance. He hopes to inspire others to value linguistic diversity. “I want to be a language professor and a role model for others. Knowing a language is a powerful way to make people feel at home, appreciating linguistic diversity and embracing their cultural identities.” 24. What role did Akram’s father play in his language learning journey? A. Teach him to speak fluently. B. Help him set a world record. C. Send him to a language school. D. Equip him with learning methods. 25. How was Akram challenged in elementary education? A. He had a lack of resources. B. He had to drop out of school. C. He was rejected for scholarship. D. He pursued several degrees at a time. 26. What might be Akram’s attitude towards Tamil masterpieces? A. Admiring. B. Dismissive. C. Critical. D. Thrilled. 27. What can be inferred from Akram’s words? A. Learning a language requires talent. B. Inspiration serves as a motivation for life. C. Language enhances a sense of belonging. D. Passion can transform into a profession. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。马哈茂德·阿克拉姆是一个保持世界纪录的通晓多种语言的人，他在语言学习方面满怀激情，取得了令人瞩目的成就。文章讲述了他的语言学习经历和卓越的理念。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Akram’s language learning journey started at the age of four, under the guidance of his father who is proficient in 16 languages.(阿克拉姆的语言学习之旅始于4岁，在精通16种语言的父亲的指导下。)”可知，阿克拉姆的父亲在他的语言学习过程中教会了他学习方法。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, Akram’s passion for languages brought challenges to his traditional education. After fifth-grade, he couldn’t find a language-focused school in India, so he studied online.(然而，阿克拉姆对语言的热情给他的传统教育带来了挑战。五年级后，他在印度找不到语言学校，所以他在网上学习。)”可知，阿克拉姆在小学时期遇到的挑战是缺乏语言学习资源。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“He believes that learning languages can build connections between people and dreams of translating Tamil literary masterpieces.(他认为学习语言可以建立人与人之间的联系，并梦想翻译泰米尔文学名著。)”可知，阿克拉姆对翻译泰米尔文学名著满怀激情，对泰米尔文学名著非常钦佩。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Knowing a language is a powerful way to make people feel at home, appreciating linguistic diversity and embracing their cultural identities.(了解一门语言是让人们感到宾至如归、欣赏语言多样性和拥抱他们的文化认同的有力方式。)”可知，阿克拉姆认为语言能够增强归属感。故选C。 C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 28. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods? A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before. C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions. 29. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments. 30. What did the researchers find about the SCG? A. It is in charge of motor system. B. It can be measured by the GDS. C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods. (我们的研究是首次通过这两种检测方法来证明这些益处的。)”可知，这两种检测方法均可以证明益处，即它们得出了一致的结论。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. (他们使用老年抑郁量表（GDS）在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，并定期进行MRI扫描。)”可知，研究人员在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，是通过前后对比来进行研究的。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression, (我们发现，SCG的BOLD（血氧水平依赖性）信号在跳舞时会减弱，这意味着SCG的功能不如抑郁症患者运行得那么快)”可知，跳舞会让SCG的运行速度放缓。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，跳舞可以降低与帕金森氏症相关的抑郁，其益处通过多种方式看出。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，通过MRI扫描和问卷调查验证其效果，所以“跳舞远离帕金森氏症的忧郁”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots. These toys are flexible enough to conduct limited conversations with children and to respond to them just as they finish talking. Are these interactions enough to provide the “personalized education” one company claimed? Will toys like Curio’s Grem help or harm children’s language development? The more language that is addressed to children, the bigger their vocabulary will be. But these vocabulary words are not learned because they were spoken out of context, as current AI-infused toys do, but from caregivers who make the words come alive. Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children’s language outcomes. In fact, if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers, these toys may impede children’s language learning. When a caregiver describes something that a child is interested in, children can learn its name. A chatbot is less able to teach children about their environments because it cannot see and describe a toy the child is holding. Even if it could see, it does not have prior knowledge about the toys a child owns. Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words — they grow from hearing words in conversations that capture the child’s attention. Finally, children are also seeking further information about the sounds of their language. The caregivers’ repetition of the word emphasizes its name while also giving the child more information about the sound of the word. If the child mispronounces the word, the caregiver will likely emphasize the correct pronunciation. Commercially available chatbots can’t reliably do this. Quality language expands on what toddlers (学步的儿童) know, takes the child’s perspective and past history into consideration, and responds to children’s questions. We have seen some work that shows social robots can help preschool children learn vocabulary, and that conversational agents who ask older children to respond to educational television programs can help children learn. However, we need more research to know the effects these robots have on babies’ and toddlers’ language learning. Until that happens, we believe that the humans in toddlers’ lives are responsible for conducting the conversations that grow children’s language. As a researcher and his teammates state, “Our babies shouldn’t be lab mice for toy companies.” 32. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To point out a problem. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To put forward the viewpoint. D. To introduce the topic. 33. What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Prevent. B. Facilitate. C. Secure. D. Maintain. 34. What can a caregiver do to help children learn a language? A. Provide interaction in context. B. Emphasize their names. C. Weaken their attention. D. Repeat grammar rules. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Is It Necessary to Interact with Caregivers? B. Will AI-Powered Toys Be a New Toy Trend? C. Are Caregivers the Secret to Kids’ Overall Development? D. Can AI-Powered Toys Help Toddlers Learn Language? 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨内置AI的智能玩具是否能促进幼儿语言学习，并指出成人陪伴交流的不可替代性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots. These toys are flexible enough to conduct limited conversations with children and to respond to them just as they finish talking. Are these interactions enough to provide the “personalized education” one company claimed? Will toys like Curio’s Grem help or harm children’s language development? (玩具行业正在大力推进将AI聊天机器人内置到毛绒玩具和小型机器人中。这类玩具能够灵活地与孩子进行有限对话，并在孩子说完话后及时回应。这些互动是否足以实现某家公司所宣称的“个性化教育”？像库里奥的格雷姆这样的玩具对儿童的语言发展是有益还是有害？)”可知，第一段先介绍AI智能玩具的现象，再提出相关疑问，目的是引出文章话题。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children’s language outcomes. In fact, if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers, these toys may impede children’s language learning.(研究表明，聊天机器人的对话不太可能改善幼儿的语言能力。事实上，如果用这些玩具替代与看护者的交流，它们可能会impede儿童的语言学习。)”可知，前一句指出聊天机器人无法提升孩子语言能力，后一句用“in fact”进一步说明负面影响，因此“impede”表示“阻碍、阻止”，与prevent含义一致。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But these vocabulary words are not learned because they were spoken out of context, as current AI-infused toys do, but from caregivers who make the words come alive.(但这些词汇并非像当前AI玩具那样脱离语境习得，而是通过看护者让词汇变得生动鲜活而学会的。)”和第三段中的“Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words — they grow from hearing words in conversations that capture the child’s attention.(语言技能并非单纯通过听大量单词形成，而是源于在能吸引孩子注意力的对话中聆听词汇。)”可知，看护者能提供语境化的互动来帮助孩子学习语言。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Will toys like Curio’s Grem help or harm children’s language development?(像库里奥的格雷姆这样的玩具对儿童的语言发展是有益还是有害？)”和后文围绕AI玩具对幼儿语言学习的作用展开论述可知，文章核心探讨AI智能玩具能否帮助幼儿学习语言，所以“人工智能玩具能帮助幼儿学习语言吗？”可以概括文章主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 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。 StoryTree is a website for sharing, encouraging, and recording personal and family memories and history.

It lets you “tap” those photos and stories into your digital journal and topical memory books. Everyone belonging to your StoryTree can add and read the entries in real time, or at any time! Additionally, once a week StoryTree sends everyone in a StoryTree group an interesting prompt (提示) into their StoryChat as well as to their emails, to help bring back memories and encourage reflection and discussion. ____38____ (But if your brother tells a big fish story, you will surely want to correct it with the true version!) And if you prefer to save your stories and memories in an additional “private journal”, you can simply create a synchronized (同步的) personal StoryTree that only you can see. ____39____ In fact, create as many StoryTrees as you like, and synchronize as many as you like too! ____40____ It’s like having a kind and curious author come to your home whenever you want and have her interview you to compose your personal or family biography. Who doesn’t want to have a personal history book written for them? There are over 700 questions in five categories the StoryBook interviewer can ask you, all about your life and family, at your leisure. The fourth and final key tool is StoryBox. It can hold all your old photos, videos, memorable documents, talks, artwork, schoolwork to either store or to sort out later. A. StoryTree does all of this through four key tools. B. Memories can only be shared and preserved alone. C. Each person can read it and respond, or not, as they like. D. StoryTree can also serve as an “automated life-story writer”. E. Or just use StoryTree as a private journal without any group Tree at all. F. It can record whatever you put into your group StoryTree — automatically! G. Most apps let shared photos and life experiences be “Here today, gone tomorrow”. 【答案】36. A 37. G 38. C 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个名为StoryTree的网站，该网站通过四种关键工具帮助用户以新颖有趣的方式分享、鼓励和记录个人及家庭记忆和历史。 【36题详解】 根据上文“StoryTree is a website for sharing, encouraging, and recording personal and family memories and history. It can be done online or offline, in real-time, or in your own time, all in a fun and simple new way.( StoryTree是一个用于分享、鼓励和记录个人和家庭记忆与历史的网站。它可以在线或离线进行，实时进行，或在你自己的时间进行，所有这些都以一种有趣而简单的新方式完成)”以及下文“All of them work well together to support each other.(它们都能很好地协同工作，相互支持)”可推知，此处需要一个承上启下的句子，引出StoryTree实现这些功能的工具。A项“StoryTree does all of this through four key tools.( StoryTree通过四个关键工具完成所有这些)”既总结了前文的功能，又引出了后文的“them”指代的工具，符合语境。故选A。 【37题详解】 根据下文“StoryTree is different. It lets you “tap” those photos and stories into your digital journal and topical memory books. (StoryTree是不同的。它让你把那些照片和故事“点击”到你的数字日记和主题记忆书中)”可推知，上文应先描述其他应用的不足之处，以突出StoryTree的不同。G项“Most apps let shared photos and life experiences be “Here today, gone tomorrow”.(大多数应用程序让共享的照片和生活经历“今天在这里，明天就消失了”)”描述了其他应用的缺点，与下文“StoryTree is different.”形成对比，符合语境。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Additionally, once a week StoryTree sends everyone in a StoryTree group an interesting prompt (提示) into their StoryChat as well as to their emails, to help bring back memories and encourage reflection and discussion.(此外，StoryTree每周向StoryTree群组中的每个人发送一个有趣的提示到他们的StoryChat以及电子邮件中，以帮助唤起记忆并鼓励反思和讨论)”以及下文“But if your brother tells a big fish story, you will surely want to correct it with the true version!(但如果你哥哥讲了一个夸大的故事，你肯定想用真实版本来纠正它！)”可推知，此处应说明收到提示后群组成员的反应方式。C项“Each person can read it and respond, or not, as they like.(每个人都可以阅读它并作出回应，或者不作回应，由他们自己决定)”承接前文的提示发送，解释了成员可自由选择是否回应，与下文“纠正故事”形成转折关系，符合语境。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文“And if you prefer to save your stories and memories in an additional “private journal”, you can simply create a synchronized (同步的) personal StoryTree that only you can see.(如果你更喜欢在额外的“私人日记”中保存你的故事和记忆，你可以简单地创建一个同步的个人StoryTree，只有你能看到)”以及下文“In fact, create as many StoryTrees as you like, and synchronize as many as you like too!(事实上，创建尽可能多的StoryTree，并同步尽可能多的StoryTree！)”可推知，此处应进一步说明私人日记的使用方式。E项“Or just use StoryTree as a private journal without any group Tree at all.(或者只是将StoryTree用作私人日记，完全没有任何群组树)”与前文“private journal”呼应，说明可以完全不使用群组功能，符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据下文“It’s like having a kind and curious author come to your home whenever you want and have her interview you to compose your personal or family biography. Who doesn’t want to have a personal history book written for them? There are over 700 questions in five categories the StoryBook interviewer can ask you, all about your life and family, at your leisure.(这就像有一个善良而好奇的作者在你想让她来的时候来到你家，采访你，为你撰写个人或家庭传记。谁不想有一本为自己写的个人历史书呢？StoryBook采访者可以问你五个类别的700多个问题，都是关于你的生活和家庭的，在你方便的时候)”可推知，此处应引出StoryTree作为自动传记撰写工具的功能。D项“StoryTree can also serve as an “automated life-story writer”.(StoryTree还可以作为“自动化人生故事撰写者”)”概括了后文描述的自动采访和撰写传记的功能，符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 James Smith has long succeeded in competition, even in snowball fights as a child.

Their parents had booked a small cabin at the edge of a forest, a place their father described as “a hidden world full of wonders.” When they arrived, the siblings were immediately drawn to the quiet charm of the wooden cabin. It stood peacefully among tall pines, with sunlight flickering across its roof like dancing gold. Every morning, their father would take them into the woods, teaching them how to look at the forest the way a ranger would. He told them that trees facing the south usually grew thicker leaves because they got more sunlight. He showed them how to read little animal footprints, how to listen for streams, and how to find safe berries when they felt hungry. When the weather turned cloudy or rainy, the whole family would sit by the fireplace in the cabin, taking turns telling stories. The flames crackled cheerfully while shadows danced against the walls, creating a warm world of their own. One afternoon, however, their parents had to go out for a short errand. Before leaving, they reminded the siblings firmly not to go outside. David and Jane promised, but the promise didn’t last long. The gentle sound of the stream outside the cabin windows was simply too tempting. David looked at his sister and whispered, “Why don’t we go for a little adventure? We’ll take the flashlights — if it gets dark, we’ll still be okay.” Jane hesitated only for a moment before her curiosity won. The two slipped out and headed into the woods. The forest welcomed them with dappled sunlight spilling across the ground. Dry leaves crackled crisply under their feet, and a plump, unfamiliar bird hopped from branch to branch, chirping as if greeting them. When they got hungry, the siblings picked the same berries their father had shown them days earlier. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: However, the sky began to dim before they knew it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then David recalled their father’s tip about the south-facing side of the trees. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: However, the sky began to dim before they knew it. Jane tightened her grip on David’s arm, her voice trembling with apprehension. “We should have listened to Mom and Dad. What if we can’t find our way back?” David forced a calm tone, though his own heart raced. “Don’t panic. We have our flashlights, and remember all those survival skills Dad taught us.” But as darkness fell, their flashlights’ feeble beams were swallowed by the oppressive gloom. The gnarled trees loomed like giants, and the stream’s murmur turned into ominous whispers of their predicament. Paragraph 2: Then David recalled their father’s tip about the south-facing side of the trees. “Wait!” David exclaimed suddenly, “Dad said south-facing trees have thicker branches for more sunlight — find south, and we can get back to the cabin!” Following this natural compass, they ventured carefully through the undergrowth. After what felt like an eternity, a faint golden glow pierced through the dense trees — the cabin’s porch light! Rushing forward with exhilaration, they embraced each other in overwhelming relief. Their parents, who had been searching frantically, greeted them with tears of joy and relieved laughter. That evening, David and Jane found their way home and learned preparation and mindfulness turn reckless escapades into meaningful journeys. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了David和Jane在暑假期间与父母前往森林边缘的小木屋度假。父母外出办事时，两人违背承诺外出探险，不料天色渐暗，在森林中迷路。最终，大卫回忆起父亲传授的生存技巧，利用南向树木枝叶茂密的特性辨别方向，成功找到回家的路。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，他们还没反应过来，天空就开始暗了下来。”可知，第一段可描写两人迷路时的恐慌心理及环境描写。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后大卫想起了父亲关于树木南侧的提示。”可知，第二段可描写大卫利用父亲传授的技巧找到方向，最终成功返回小木屋的过程。 2.续写线索：天色变暗——两人恐慌——回忆技巧——辨别方向——找到小屋——家人团聚——获得感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓紧：tighten one’s grip on/ hold tightly ②颤抖：tremble/shake ③剧烈跳动：race/beat violently 情绪类 ①忧虑：apprehension/anxiety ②疯狂地：frantically/madly 【点睛】【高分句型1】But as darkness fell, their flashlights’ feeble beams were swallowed by the oppressive gloom. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】 Their parents, who had been searching frantically, greeted them with tears of joy and relieved laughter.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Hi, Lucy.
