Unfortunately, the whole communication was rather stressful. He was kind of impatient then and unclear about what he needed. Every time I tried to ask further to understand him, he only grew more impatient and annoyed. Before long, he said some extremely cruel words to me. I could not hold back my feelings and had to hide in the back office, crying silently. From the office, I could still see the main floor and the parking lot. The man went outside and rested in his truck for a moment. I saw he petted his dog gently and appeared to be talking to it softly. After a short while, he came back into the shop. I tried my best to pretend that I had not been crying, but I was a hard crier, and my red eyes and trembling voice gave me away. Looking straight at me, he said sincerely, “Miss, I owe you a serious apology. I’m not in a good state today, and you did nothing wrong to deserve such rudeness. I feel really ashamed of my behavior.” I told him it was okay, but his apology made me even more emotional. I started crying again, and then apologized to him for crying, but he said, “Don’t say sorry because some guy was a jerk (混蛋) to you. You have every right to be upset.” We stayed seated and talked until his laundry was done. He told me he’d lost his wife just a few weeks earlier, and that he wasn’t handling it very well. I think about him a lot. That apology and the conversation that followed meant the world to me, and have helped in ways I couldn’t even have predicted since. It restored my faith in people. Wherever he is now, I hope he knows that. 24．Why did the old man get angry? A．He had to wait too long for his laundry. B．His clothes were not washed as expected. C．He failed to make himself understood. D．The author refused to listen to him. 25．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply? A．It was hard to please the author. B．The author was blamed for her behaviors. C．The author tended to contain her emotions. D．It was easy to identify the author had cried. 26．What can be known about the old man? A．He maintains contact with the author at present. B．He was suffering from the loss of a family member. C．He lived alone with his dog for many years. D．He used to lose patience for no reason. 27．What does the author mainly want to tell us? A．Openness is vital in communication. B．Customers should be treated seriously. C．It’s human nature to make mistakes. D．A sincere apology can warm one’s heart. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在洗衣店工作时，遇到一位因沟通不畅而发怒的老人，老人后来向作者真诚道歉，并解释了自己情绪不佳的原因，这次经历让作者深受感动，也让她重新相信了人性。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unfortunately, the whole communication was rather stressful. He was kind of impatient then and unclear about what he needed. Every time I tried to ask further to understand him, he only grew more impatient and annoyed.(不幸的是，整个交流过程相当紧张。他当时有点不耐烦，也不清楚自己需要什么。每次我试图进一步了解他时，他只会变得更加不耐烦和恼怒。)”可知，老人发怒是因为他没能使别人理解他的意思，即他没能使自己被理解。故选C项。 25．词句猜测题。根据划线句上文“I tried my best to pretend that I had not been crying, but I was a hard crier, and my red eyes and trembling voice gave me away.(我尽力假装自己没有哭，但是I was a hard crier，泛红的双眼和颤抖的声音还是出卖了我。)”可知，作者虽然尽力假装自己没有哭，但红肿的眼睛和颤抖的声音还是暴露了她哭过的事实，即划线部分的意思是很容易就能看出作者哭过。故选D项。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“He told me he’d lost his wife just a few weeks earlier, and that he wasn’t handling it very well.(他告诉我，就在几周前，他失去了妻子，而他一直没能很好地面对这件事。)”可知，老人正遭受着失去家人的痛苦。故选B项。 27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“That apology and the conversation that followed meant the world to me, and have helped in ways I couldn’t even have predicted since. It restored my faith in people.(那次道歉以及随后的谈话对我来说意义重大，并且以我甚至无法预料的方式帮助了我。它让我重新相信了人性。)”结合文章主要讲述了作者在洗衣店工作时，遇到一位因沟通不畅而发怒的老人，老人后来向作者真诚道歉，并解释了自己情绪不佳的原因，这次经历让作者深受感动，也让她重新相信了人性。可推知，作者主要想告诉我们：真诚的道歉能温暖人心。故选D项。 C Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术), which is a scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny. “Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments. For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To embed (植入) them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant’s leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water. The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms. 28．Why do the scientists use spinach plants to do the experiment? A．They are common in the daily life. B．They are environmentally responsive. C．They are small in size and easy to store. D．They are efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. 29．What’s the function of the nano-tubes placed into spinach plants? A．Fixing the tiny sensors. B．Containing the liquid C．Giving off plant light. D．Controlling the camera. 30．What can you infer about the system from the last paragraph? A．Farmers have received farm-specific environmental data. B．Researchers are confident in its agricultural potential. C．Future success depends on specialized phone cameras. D．The computer can be sized according to scientists’ needs. 31．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Spinach Delivers Warnings via Nanotech B．Nanotech Helps Spinach Grow Healthily C．Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs D．Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院的科学家们利用纳米技术将普通菠菜变成可以检测炸弹所用化学物质的天然传感器，并介绍了其工作原理、应用前景等信息。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas (普通菠菜植物随处可见且易于储存；像其他植物一样，它们通常吸收二氧化碳气体)”以及“But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access. (但实际上它们能够感知土壤和水势的微小变化并作出反应。如果我们利用这一点，就可以获取丰富的信息)”可知，科学家使用菠菜植物进行实验是因为它们能够感知土壤和水势的微小变化并作出反应，即对环境有反应能力。故选B项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light.(如果水中含有炸弹中使用的某些化学物质，叶子中的微小传感器就会使纳米管(科学家们之前将其与传感器一起放入菠菜植物中)产生一种稍微特殊的光)”可知，放入菠菜中的纳米管的作用是发出一种稍微特殊的光。故选C项。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.(在他们看来，毫无疑问，在未来，这样的系统可以为农民提供有关他们农场土地和水健康状况的具体信息)”可推知，研究人员对这种系统在农业上的潜力充满信心。故选B项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. (麻省理工学院的科学家们已经成功地将普通菠菜植物转变为能够检测炸弹中化学物质的自然传感器)”和第三段中“By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water. (通过使用连接电脑的摄像头持续观察植物，科学家们建立了一个系统，如果水中发现爆炸物中的化学物质，该系统可以发送警告电子邮件)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家利用纳米技术将菠菜植物转变为能够检测炸弹中化学物质的自然传感器，并在检测到危险时发出警告。故A项“Spinach Delivers Warnings via Nanotech (菠菜通过纳米技术发出警告)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 D You may have heard the term “brain rot” online. “Brain rot refers to the negative effects of overexposure to shallow, repetitive or overly stimulating online content,” said Susan Lotkowski, neurologist (神经科医生) at Inspira Medical Group Neurology. “These effects point to concerns about how digital consumption shapes our brain health.” Brain rot could be linked to habits that overwork our brain’s reward systems. “Online platforms have algorithms (算法) designed to keep us active and engaged, causing the brain to create short bursts of dopamine (多巴胺) with each like, share or funny video,” said Dr. Lotkowski. “Over time, this form of constant stimulation can affect your cognitive (认知) health.” Long-term exposure to low-quality digital content may not only make you feel tired at the moment, but also have lasting effects on your mind. It can gradually shorten your attention span, making it difficult to focus on more challenging tasks. At the same time, taking in too much unorganized information may leave you mentally tired and less efficient. In addition, frequently switching attention between different online distractions can weaken your memory, so that you find it harder to remember important details. What’s more, constantly reading negative news online may increase stress and even lead to feelings of anxiety. While brain rot is often associated with younger people immersed in digital culture, older adults can also be affected by the effects of screens on cognitive health. “Too much screen time and poor digital habits may worsen age-related cognitive decline,” said Dr. Lotkowski. “Adopting strategies to maintain a healthy brain can boost memory, focus and overall mental agility as you age.” Maintaining cognitive health as you age involves creating a lifestyle that develops your brain. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities like puzzles, reading or learning a new skill can reduce the effects of digital consumption and promote long-term brain health. The concerns brain rot raises are very real. By being mindful of your online habits and making choices that support your health goals, you can enjoy the benefits of technology while keeping your brain sharp and strong. 32．What does the term “brain rot” mainly refer to? A．The influence of online platforms. B．The brain’s production of dopamine. C．The decline of brain function with age. D．The negative effects of digital overload. 33．Which of the following situations best shows the effect of “brain rot”? A．An office worker falls asleep in a lengthy meeting. B．A student refuses to watch a 2-hour film in the cinema. C．An old lady panics at alarming online food safety posts. D．A reader fails to remember every detail of a literary book. 34．What can be inferred about older adults from the passage? A．They are more unlikely to experience cognitive decline. B．They are less affected by digital content than young people. C．They may suffer from the negative effects of screen overuse. D．They benefit a lot from getting immersed in online activities. 35．What are the elderly advised to do to protect cognitive health? A．Limit digital use. B．Stay mentally active. C．Avoid screens in old age. D．Focus on positive content. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“大脑退化”指过度接触数字内容带来的负面影响，并给出了应对建议。 32．词句猜测题。根据第一段““Brain rot refers to the negative effects of overexposure to shallow, repetitive or overly stimulating online content,” said Susan Lotkowski, neurologist (神经学) at Inspira Medical Group Neurology. “These effects point to concerns about how digital consumption shapes our brain health.”(“大脑退化，是指长期过度接触浅薄、重复或强刺激性网络内容所产生的负面影响。这些危害也让人们开始担忧，数字化信息消耗会如何影响我们的大脑健康。”Inspira医疗集团神经内科的神经学家苏珊·洛特科夫斯基说)”可知，“大脑退化”主要指数码过载的负面影响。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段“What’s more, constantly reading negative news online may increase stress and even lead to feelings of anxiety.(更重要的是，经常在网上阅读负面新闻可能会增加压力，甚至导致焦虑感)”可知，C选项“一位老太太对网上令人震惊的食品安全帖子感到恐慌”最能体现“大脑退化”的影响。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“While brain rot is often associated with younger people immersed in digital culture, older adults can also be affected by the effects of screens on cognitive health.(虽然大脑退化通常与沉浸在数字文化中的年轻人有关，但老年人也会受到屏幕对认知健康的影响)”可知，老年人可能会遭受过度使用屏幕的负面影响。故选C。 35．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Maintaining cognitive health as you age involves creating a lifestyle that develops your brain. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities like puzzles, reading or learning a new skill can reduce the effects of digital consumption and promote long-term brain health.(随着年龄的增长，保持认知健康需要创造一种发展大脑的生活方式。参与拼图、阅读或学习新技能等刺激智力的活动可以减少数字消费的影响，促进长期的大脑健康)”可知，建议老年人保持精神活跃来保护认知健康。故选B。 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。 How do you react when you call someone the wrong name, trip over a curb, or wave to a stranger you take for a friend? 36 If yes, you’re definitely not alone. But new research tells us that laughing at these minor mistakes is a wiser choice. New research shows that people often overestimate how harshly others judge their minor social mistakes. For these small, harmless mistakes, laughing at yourself is a far better choice. It can show your social confidence, ease tension and make it clear that the mistake was an accident. 37 To do the research, over 3,000 participants read stories of small mistakes, like walking into a glass door at a party. 38 They even saw photos of the person either laughing or looking embarrassed. The result was clear: Those who laughed off mistakes were seen as warmer, more capable and more genuine. 39 Observers thought embarrassment was often excessive — people felt worse than the situation required. Laughing, by contrast, signals that you know the mistake is unimportant. There is one note to take, though. 40 If a mistake causes real harm to yourself or others, laughing is not an appropriate response. Also, the study didn’t explore the long-term effects of laughing or feeling embarrassed about mistakes. Even so, it proves the famous saying: When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you. A．Not all mistakes should be met with a laugh. B．Do you fall into a deep sense of embarrassment? C．Then they were told how the person reacted to the blunder. D．This simple reaction can bring you many unexpected benefits. E．What’s more, embarrassment was often considered unnecessary. F．Laughing at yourself will only make others look down upon you. G．People are more likely to forgive others’ big mistakes than small ones. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．C 39．E 40．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明，面对无伤大雅的小社交失误，自嘲比陷入尴尬更明智，能展现自信并获得他人好感，但造成实质伤害的错误不应一笑而过。 36．上文“How do you react when you call someone the wrong name, trip over a curb, or wave to a stranger you take for a friend?

The Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) is the first fully operational weather prediction open model 57 (use) machine learning technology, and will run side by side 58 its traditional physics-based counterpart (对应版本) — the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) said in a press release on Tuesday. AIFS’ forecast builds upon the same 59 (combine) of data that the IFS feeds on, with the data 60 (collect) from satellites, planes, boats, and other Earth-based measurement stations. What distinguishes the two models, however, 61 (be) that the new machine learning model assesses how these initial conditions will influence future weather based on its knowledge of how the weather 62 (evolve) in the past. IFS calculations, in contrast, rely on the laws of physics, which it integrates in its computer code. “We see the AIFS and IFS as complementary (互补的), 63 part of providing a range of products to our user community, who decide 64 best suits their needs,” said ECMWF’s Director of Forecasts and Services, Florian Pappenberger.

It was not just a simple mailbox, but a warm bond with the nearby three families. Every early morning, when the first ray of sunlight spilled over the roof, Grandma would put on her shoes, hold a small bamboo basket, and walk slowly to the corner with her slightly bent back. She would carefully collect her own letters and the daily newspapers for the elderly neighbors next door — Mr. Smith who suffered from leg pain and Ms. Brown who lived alone, both of whom could barely walk downstairs. Those newspapers were their main way to learn about the outside world, and Grandma’s small act of kindness had quietly lasted for years, warming the whole neighborhood. On a holiday afternoon, Tom, a college student majoring in architecture, came to visit Grandma as usual. When he turned the corner, he was shocked to find the mailbox lying on the ground, its wooden body split into several pieces. He glanced around instinctively and saw a man walking a large dog in the distance. There was a crumpled note stuck on the wall beside it, which read, “Sorry, my dog knocked your mailbox over accidentally. I’ll come to fix it later.” Seeing the broken mailbox and scattered wood pieces, Grandma sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry. She squatted down gently, stroked the worn wood with her rough hands, and murmured in a low voice, “What shall I do now?” Tom knew the elderly neighbors were heavily dependent on the newspapers. Without the mailbox, how could they get the news on time? What if the dog owner broke his promise and couldn’t fix the mailbox today? Watching Grandma’s helpless expression, he felt a strong desire in his heart. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右： （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Considering the mailbox too old, Tom decided to build a new one. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When all the preparations were done, the dog owner arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Considering the mailbox too old, Tom decided to build a new one. He squatted down to comfort Grandma, saying he would make a new and stronger one to let the neighbors get newspapers on time. Grandma nodded in relief, her worry fading a little as she patted Tom’s hand. Tom quickly sketched a design on paper, and then hurried to a nearby hardware store to buy materials. After he returned, he laid out all materials neatly, measured and marked the boards precisely with a ruler, and got ready to craft the new mailbox. When all the preparations were done, the dog owner arrived. Looking guilty with a toolbox, he apologized sincerely, and explained his dog got excited when chasing a cat and knocked over the mailbox and that he’d been rushing over after handling his work to make up for it. Seeing Tom’s prepared materials and the sketch, he offered to help immediately. With Tom’s professional guidance on structure and his handy work with tools, they worked together smoothly to assemble, paint and install the mailbox. Grandma, Mr. Smith and Ms. Brown watched quietly, their faces full of joy and relief. Looking at the sturdy new blue mailbox, Tom realized architecture was not just about designing objects, but about using his skills to safeguard small kindnesses and build a more harmonious community. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述奶奶的旧木邮箱矗立社区二十年，是邻里间温暖的纽带。她常年帮行动不便的邻居取信送报，传递温暖。假期里，邮箱被路人的狗撞倒损坏，奶奶十分忧心。学建筑的大学生Tom见状，内心涌起强烈的想要帮忙的念头。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tom觉得这个邮箱太旧了，决定做一个新的。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Tom决定为奶奶做一个新邮箱，安慰老人后画图买料，认真准备制作。 ②由第二段首句内容“一切准备就绪时，狗主人赶到了。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：狗主人前来道歉并帮忙，二人合力做好新邮箱。Tom明白建筑可守护善意、共建和谐社区。 2.续写线索：Tom决定做一个新邮箱——画图买料——狗主人前来道歉并帮忙——合力完成——Tom的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①蹲下：squat down/crouch down ②购买：buy/purchase ③解释：explain/interpret 情绪类 ①焦虑：worry/anxiety ②快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Grandma nodded in relief, her worry fading a little as she patted Tom’s hand. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Seeing Tom’s prepared materials and the sketch, he offered to help immediately.（运用了现在分词 Seeing作状语） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 2025-2026学年高二下学期5月第三次月考 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．What is Sarah doing?

B One day many years ago, when I was working alone at a small laundry shop (洗衣店), an old man entered and tried to ask me for a towel to clean his hands before handling his clothes. Unfortunately, the whole communication was rather stressful. He was kind of impatient then and unclear about what he needed. Every time I tried to ask further to understand him, he only grew more impatient and annoyed. Before long, he said some extremely cruel words to me. I could not hold back my feelings and had to hide in the back office, crying silently. From the office, I could still see the main floor and the parking lot. The man went outside and rested in his truck for a moment. I saw he petted his dog gently and appeared to be talking to it softly. After a short while, he came back into the shop. I tried my best to pretend that I had not been crying, but I was a hard crier, and my red eyes and trembling voice gave me away. Looking straight at me, he said sincerely, “Miss, I owe you a serious apology. I’m not in a good state today, and you did nothing wrong to deserve such rudeness. I feel really ashamed of my behavior.” I told him it was okay, but his apology made me even more emotional. I started crying again, and then apologized to him for crying, but he said, “Don’t say sorry because some guy was a jerk (混蛋) to you. You have every right to be upset.” We stayed seated and talked until his laundry was done. He told me he’d lost his wife just a few weeks earlier, and that he wasn’t handling it very well. I think about him a lot. That apology and the conversation that followed meant the world to me, and have helped in ways I couldn’t even have predicted since. It restored my faith in people. Wherever he is now, I hope he knows that. 24．Why did the old man get angry? A．He had to wait too long for his laundry. B．His clothes were not washed as expected. C．He failed to make himself understood. D．The author refused to listen to him. 25．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply? A．It was hard to please the author. B．The author was blamed for her behaviors. C．The author tended to contain her emotions. D．It was easy to identify the author had cried. 26．What can be known about the old man? A．He maintains contact with the author at present. B．He was suffering from the loss of a family member. C．He lived alone with his dog for many years. D．He used to lose patience for no reason. 27．What does the author mainly want to tell us? A．Openness is vital in communication. B．Customers should be treated seriously. C．It’s human nature to make mistakes. D．A sincere apology can warm one’s heart. C Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术), which is a scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny. “Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments. For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To embed (植入) them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant’s leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water. The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms. 28．Why do the scientists use spinach plants to do the experiment? A．They are common in the daily life. B．They are environmentally responsive. C．They are small in size and easy to store. D．They are efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide. 29．What’s the function of the nano-tubes placed into spinach plants? A．Fixing the tiny sensors. B．Containing the liquid C．Giving off plant light. D．Controlling the camera. 30．What can you infer about the system from the last paragraph? A．Farmers have received farm-specific environmental data. B．Researchers are confident in its agricultural potential. C．Future success depends on specialized phone cameras. D．The computer can be sized according to scientists’ needs. 31．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Spinach Delivers Warnings via Nanotech B．Nanotech Helps Spinach Grow Healthily C．Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs D．Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger D You may have heard the term “brain rot” online. “Brain rot refers to the negative effects of overexposure to shallow, repetitive or overly stimulating online content,” said Susan Lotkowski, neurologist (神经科医生) at Inspira Medical Group Neurology. “These effects point to concerns about how digital consumption shapes our brain health.” Brain rot could be linked to habits that overwork our brain’s reward systems. “Online platforms have algorithms (算法) designed to keep us active and engaged, causing the brain to create short bursts of dopamine (多巴胺) with each like, share or funny video,” said Dr. Lotkowski. “Over time, this form of constant stimulation can affect your cognitive (认知) health.” Long-term exposure to low-quality digital content may not only make you feel tired at the moment, but also have lasting effects on your mind. It can gradually shorten your attention span, making it difficult to focus on more challenging tasks. At the same time, taking in too much unorganized information may leave you mentally tired and less efficient. In addition, frequently switching attention between different online distractions can weaken your memory, so that you find it harder to remember important details. What’s more, constantly reading negative news online may increase stress and even lead to feelings of anxiety. While brain rot is often associated with younger people immersed in digital culture, older adults can also be affected by the effects of screens on cognitive health. “Too much screen time and poor digital habits may worsen age-related cognitive decline,” said Dr. Lotkowski. “Adopting strategies to maintain a healthy brain can boost memory, focus and overall mental agility as you age.” Maintaining cognitive health as you age involves creating a lifestyle that develops your brain. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities like puzzles, reading or learning a new skill can reduce the effects of digital consumption and promote long-term brain health. The concerns brain rot raises are very real. By being mindful of your online habits and making choices that support your health goals, you can enjoy the benefits of technology while keeping your brain sharp and strong. 32．What does the term “brain rot” mainly refer to? A．The influence of online platforms. B．The brain’s production of dopamine. C．The decline of brain function with age. D．The negative effects of digital overload. 33．Which of the following situations best shows the effect of “brain rot”? A．An office worker falls asleep in a lengthy meeting. B．A student refuses to watch a 2-hour film in the cinema. C．An old lady panics at alarming online food safety posts. D．A reader fails to remember every detail of a literary book. 34．What can be inferred about older adults from the passage? A．They are more unlikely to experience cognitive decline. B．They are less affected by digital content than young people. C．They may suffer from the negative effects of screen overuse. D．They benefit a lot from getting immersed in online activities. 35．What are the elderly advised to do to protect cognitive health? A．Limit digital use. B．Stay mentally active. C．Avoid screens in old age. D．Focus on positive content. 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。 How do you react when you call someone the wrong name, trip over a curb, or wave to a stranger you take for a friend? 36 If yes, you’re definitely not alone. But new research tells us that laughing at these minor mistakes is a wiser choice. New research shows that people often overestimate how harshly others judge their minor social mistakes. For these small, harmless mistakes, laughing at yourself is a far better choice. It can show your social confidence, ease tension and make it clear that the mistake was an accident. 37 To do the research, over 3,000 participants read stories of small mistakes, like walking into a glass door at a party. 38 They even saw photos of the person either laughing or looking embarrassed. The result was clear: Those who laughed off mistakes were seen as warmer, more capable and more genuine. 39 Observers thought embarrassment was often excessive — people felt worse than the situation required. Laughing, by contrast, signals that you know the mistake is unimportant. There is one note to take, though. 40 If a mistake causes real harm to yourself or others, laughing is not an appropriate response. Also, the study didn’t explore the long-term effects of laughing or feeling embarrassed about mistakes. Even so, it proves the famous saying: When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you. A．Not all mistakes should be met with a laugh. B．Do you fall into a deep sense of embarrassment? C．Then they were told how the person reacted to the blunder. D．This simple reaction can bring you many unexpected benefits. E．What’s more, embarrassment was often considered unnecessary. F．Laughing at yourself will only make others look down upon you. G．People are more likely to forgive others’ big mistakes than small ones. 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。 “My loss of vision was troublesome.

The Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) is the first fully operational weather prediction open model 57 (use) machine learning technology, and will run side by side 58 its traditional physics-based counterpart (对应版本) — the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) said in a press release on Tuesday. AIFS’ forecast builds upon the same 59 (combine) of data that the IFS feeds on, with the data 60 (collect) from satellites, planes, boats, and other Earth-based measurement stations. What distinguishes the two models, however, 61 (be) that the new machine learning model assesses how these initial conditions will influence future weather based on its knowledge of how the weather 62 (evolve) in the past. IFS calculations, in contrast, rely on the laws of physics, which it integrates in its computer code. “We see the AIFS and IFS as complementary (互补的), 63 part of providing a range of products to our user community, who decide 64 best suits their needs,” said ECMWF’s Director of Forecasts and Services, Florian Pappenberger. Europe’s weather forecasts are 65 (current) reliable up to six to seven days ahead for precipitation (降水) and wind, and up to 14 or 15 days ahead for temperature, Pappenberger told the Financial Times. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．假设你是李华，你校英文校报开展以Cultural Heritage Protection为主题的征文活动。请你以学生会的名义，写一封倡议书，内容包括： 1. 简要说明文化遗产的重要性； 2. 提出具体保护建议； 3. 发出倡议，号召大家行动。注意： 1. 词数80左右：2. 邮件开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear fellow students, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Students’ Union 第二节（满分25分） 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Grandma’s old wooden mailbox, with a chipped blue coat (涂料层) and a slightly rusted hinge (铰链), had stood at the quiet corner of the community for 20 years. It was not just a simple mailbox, but a warm bond with the nearby three families. Every early morning, when the first ray of sunlight spilled over the roof, Grandma would put on her shoes, hold a small bamboo basket, and walk slowly to the corner with her slightly bent back. She would carefully collect her own letters and the daily newspapers for the elderly neighbors next door — Mr. Smith who suffered from leg pain and Ms. Brown who lived alone, both of whom could barely walk downstairs. Those newspapers were their main way to learn about the outside world, and Grandma’s small act of kindness had quietly lasted for years, warming the whole neighborhood. On a holiday afternoon, Tom, a college student majoring in architecture, came to visit Grandma as usual. When he turned the corner, he was shocked to find the mailbox lying on the ground, its wooden body split into several pieces. He glanced around instinctively and saw a man walking a large dog in the distance. There was a crumpled note stuck on the wall beside it, which read, “Sorry, my dog knocked your mailbox over accidentally. I’ll come to fix it later.” Seeing the broken mailbox and scattered wood pieces, Grandma sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry. She squatted down gently, stroked the worn wood with her rough hands, and murmured in a low voice, “What shall I do now?” Tom knew the elderly neighbors were heavily dependent on the newspapers. Without the mailbox, how could they get the news on time? What if the dog owner broke his promise and couldn’t fix the mailbox today? Watching Grandma’s helpless expression, he felt a strong desire in his heart. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右： （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Considering the mailbox too old, Tom decided to build a new one. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When all the preparations were done, the dog owner arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
