And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 1. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 2. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 3. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C.

They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement. “Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device. Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.” Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways. That’s what we want to show.” Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine. 4. What’s special about Emily Shifflet? A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents. C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes. 5. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox? A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter. C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome. 6. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online? A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities. C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life. 7. What does the text indicate? A. Art originates from life but is higher than life. B. Technology has made our life worth living. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Technology breaks down barriers. C Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52% of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. “While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” In this study, participants were placed into settings as mock patients and asked whether and under what circumstances they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In the first phase, researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference and about 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed that their primary care physician felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity did not affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I really feel this study has the importance for national reach. It will guide many future studies and clinical transitional decisions even now,” Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 8. What can we infer about AI treatment from Paragraph 2? A. Further clinical research is required. B. Its benefits remain to be confirmed. C. It can ensure a good listening patient experience. D. Physician involvement will increase patients’ acceptance. 9. What may affect participants’ preference for AI treatment according to the research? A. Their sensitivity to AI’s value. B. The questions they were asked. C. The access to the physicians. D. Their personal backgrounds. 10. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Attempt. B. Responsibility. C. Impression. D. Opportunity. 11. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems D. Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI D When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947). Who would write the first great novel of the latest era? Two of America’s novelists, Michael Cunningham and Sigrid Nunez, have recently published novels that try to carry this tradition. The narrator of The Vulnerables by Ms Nunez is an older writer who lives in New York and has all the concerns of a middle-aged, middle-class American living in the 21st century. She ends up in an apartment alone, but her real crisis is literary. Suffering from writer's block, she concludes that “the traditional novel” has lost its “urgency” now. Mr Cunningham's Day, coincidentally, is just the kind of traditional novel Ms Nunez suggests is now outdated. It tells the story of a young family in New York — Dan, an ageing singer, and Isabel, a photo editor, have two young children. His recent unemployment accelerates the breakdown of their marriage and the relationships of several other people they know. Day is alive with all of the small thoughts, looks and feelings that the global financial crisis caused. Unlike historical transformations during previous centuries, the impacts of current events on novels have so far been weakened. With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham’s books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory. Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground. As people’s depression gradually gave way to the optimism of the digital age, they soon slipped right back into normality. The same is proving true for fiction. Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same. 12. Why does the author mention Jhon Steinbeck and Albert Camus in paragraph 1? A. To set a standard. B. To raise a question. C. To clarify a confusion. D. To illustrate a phenomenon. 13. What do The Vulnerables and Day have in common? A. Both belong to traditional novels. B. Both present characters faced with crises. C. Both are written in first-person perspective. D. Both reveal mental issues caused by unemployment. 14. What is the significance of Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham's books? A. They adopt novel subject matters. B. They highlight changes in family relationships. C. They serve as records of a special but passing period. D. They push the boundaries of fiction for their contemporaries. 15. Which best describes the author’s attitude towards the two novels? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 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。 There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.___16___It shines our way through darkness. Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.___17___And how? Embarking on new experiences is an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.___18___It is not emotion-based either. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open- mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights. What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement?___19___ The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why. Rome was not built in a day.___20___It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges. A. Individuals need to bring it out. B. It isn’t something you are born with. C. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. D. Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination. E. A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors. F. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions. G. In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light. 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。 Last year, on our mom-son trip to Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything.

Later that afternoon, despite the ____26____ –10℃ cold, Leopold insisted on going in the outdoor hot tub. Honoring our agreement, I ____27____ my fear of wet chill, and we jumped in — trembled upon exit. We were happy as we ____28____ it together. The next day, I took Leopold to meet the snowboarding instructor. Though ____29____ by the mountain’s slopes, I hoped that we would push our ____30____. On the first day of skiing, we played it safe and ____31____ easy slopes. On the second day, as learning progressed, Leopold, who had fear of heights, still kept our ____32____. Under the protection of the instructor’s safeguard measures, we ____33____ ourselves on a steeper run. We had so much fun saying yes to everything that we decided to get the rest of the family ____34____. There lies the beauty of saying yes on vacation: Developing a sense of ____35____ helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet. 21.

We had been training for over a year, preparing for the physical and mental challenges of the climb. Our team, composed of experienced mountaineers and a few beginners like myself, had grown close during our training sessions. We relied on each other for support, encouragement, and motivation. If someone was struggling, the rest of us would step in to help, whether it was carrying extra sports equipment or offering words of encouragement. The first two days of the climb went smoothly. We made good progress, reaching Camp Muir at 10,000 feet without any major issues. The weather was perfect, and our spirits were high. On the third day, we began our push for the peak. The plan was to start early in the morning, around 2 a.m., to take advantage of the colder, firmer snow. We roped up and began the climb, each of us focused on the task at hand. As we approached Disappointment, Cleaver, a steep and dangerous section of the climb, the weather began to change. The wind picked up, and the temperature dropped significantly. We could barely see more than a few feet in front of us because of the dense fog, and the snow underfoot became unstable. Despite the challenging conditions, we carried on, determined to reach the peak. Then, disaster struck. One of our team members, Sarah, lost her footing and slipped. The force of her fall pulled the rest of us off balance, and we all fell, sliding down the slope (斜坡). I felt a sharp pain in my leg as I hit a rock, and I knew immediately that something was wrong. The rest of the team quickly regained their footing and managed to stop our slide, but I was unable to stand. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I think my leg is broken,” I said painfully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team arrived finally. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 安徽师范大学附属中学2025~2026学年度第二学期期中考查 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1．本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 做题时，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，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement. “Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device. Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.” Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways. That’s what we want to show.” Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine. 4. What’s special about Emily Shifflet? A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents. C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes. 5. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox? A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter. C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome. 6. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online? A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities. C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life. 7. What does the text indicate? A. Art originates from life but is higher than life. B. Technology has made our life worth living. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Technology breaks down barriers. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7.

The painting tool was truly a game-changer.(Tobii Dynavox真的帮助她表达了自己的感受。这个绘画工具真的改变了她的生活)”可知，该软件能辅助艺术创作。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways.(她现在通过她的网站“Eye Gaze Designs by Emily”出售她独一无二的艺术品。“她的作品是一份礼物，”珍妮说。“它向人们表明，不同能力的人可以以不同的方式创造和成功”)”可知，珍妮在网上卖她女儿的艺术品目的是激励人们追求自己的成功。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。主要讲述了患有雷特综合征（Rett syndrome）的艺术家Emily Shifflet在科技辅助下克服身体障碍，成功创作艺术，实现创造力和人生价值的故事。由此推知，文章体现了“科技打破限制”。故选D项。 C Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52% of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. “While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” In this study, participants were placed into settings as mock patients and asked whether and under what circumstances they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In the first phase, researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference and about 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed that their primary care physician felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity did not affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I really feel this study has the importance for national reach. It will guide many future studies and clinical transitional decisions even now,” Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 8. What can we infer about AI treatment from Paragraph 2? A. Further clinical research is required. B. Its benefits remain to be confirmed. C. It can ensure a good listening patient experience. D. Physician involvement will increase patients’ acceptance. 9. What may affect participants’ preference for AI treatment according to the research? A. Their sensitivity to AI’s value. B. The questions they were asked. C. The access to the physicians. D. Their personal backgrounds. 10. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Attempt. B. Responsibility. C. Impression. D. Opportunity. 11. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems D. Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项患者对于在医疗诊断与治疗中使用人工智能态度的研究，通过实验的过程来说明新的科学研究发现及其启示。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” (研究负责人Marvin Slepian表示：“尽管许多患者似乎抗拒使用人工智能，但信息的准确性、情感鼓励以及耐心倾听的就医体验，有助于提高患者对人工智能的接受度。要确保人工智能在临床实践中切实发挥作用，未来还需研究医生如何合理配合应用人工智能，以及患者就医决策的最优方式。”)”可知，医生的参与会提升患者对AI诊疗的接受度。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. (第二阶段，研究人员采用盲法随机调查，对来自不同民族、种族以及社会经济阶层的2472名受访者展开调研)”可知，在第二阶段，研究的参与者来自不同背景。结合第六段中“Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. (与白人受访者相比，黑人受访者选择人工智能的比例更低，而美洲原住民受访者选择比例更高。年长人群以及自认政治立场保守的人群，也更不愿选择人工智能。这些研究结果表明，向不同群体普及人工智能在提升诊断水平方面的价值与作用时，需要区别对待、细致关注各类人群的差异)”可知，参与者的种族、年龄和政治倾向等个人背景因素对其对人工智能治疗的偏好产生了影响，即个人背景会影响偏好。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care. (医生和其他医疗行业从业者将肩负起这样的onus：确保人工智能系统中的信息准确无误，并且在人工智能在未来医疗保健领域发挥日益重要作用的过程中，持续维护并提高其准确性)”可知，医生和医疗工作者们需要承担起确保人工智能系统信息准确的责任，划线词onus的意思是“责任”。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52% of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. (由人工智能提供的医疗方案正日益普及，且有望提高诊断准确率；但亚利桑那大学健康科学中心研究人员开展的一项新研究发现，约52%的受访者看病诊疗时，仍会选择真人医生而非人工智能)”可知，文章开篇指出约52%的参与者更倾向人类医生而非人工智能诊断，后续详细分析了不同群体对人工智能的接受程度差异，整体围绕“患者对人工智能和人类医生的信任分歧”展开，A选项“The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients (对人工智能的信任：患者之间的分歧)”符合文章主旨，是文章的最佳标题。 D When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947). Who would write the first great novel of the latest era? Two of America’s novelists, Michael Cunningham and Sigrid Nunez, have recently published novels that try to carry this tradition. The narrator of The Vulnerables by Ms Nunez is an older writer who lives in New York and has all the concerns of a middle-aged, middle-class American living in the 21st century. She ends up in an apartment alone, but her real crisis is literary. Suffering from writer's block, she concludes that “the traditional novel” has lost its “urgency” now. Mr Cunningham's Day, coincidentally, is just the kind of traditional novel Ms Nunez suggests is now outdated. It tells the story of a young family in New York — Dan, an ageing singer, and Isabel, a photo editor, have two young children. His recent unemployment accelerates the breakdown of their marriage and the relationships of several other people they know. Day is alive with all of the small thoughts, looks and feelings that the global financial crisis caused. Unlike historical transformations during previous centuries, the impacts of current events on novels have so far been weakened. With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham’s books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory. Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground. As people’s depression gradually gave way to the optimism of the digital age, they soon slipped right back into normality. The same is proving true for fiction. Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same. 12. Why does the author mention Jhon Steinbeck and Albert Camus in paragraph 1? A. To set a standard. B. To raise a question. C. To clarify a confusion. D. To illustrate a phenomenon. 13. What do The Vulnerables and Day have in common? A. Both belong to traditional novels. B. Both present characters faced with crises. C. Both are written in first-person perspective. D. Both reveal mental issues caused by unemployment. 14. What is the significance of Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham's books? A. They adopt novel subject matters. B. They highlight changes in family relationships. C. They serve as records of a special but passing period. D. They push the boundaries of fiction for their contemporaries. 15. Which best describes the author’s attitude towards the two novels? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了两部小说The Vulnerables和Day如何反映当前社会危机对人们生活的影响，并对这些作品的文学价值进行了评价。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的句子“When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947).(当世界面临越来越多的危机时，包括气候变化和经济衰退，作家和评论家发现他们手中有比平时更多的灵感和材料，想知道这些戏剧性的变化会如何影响小说。文学记录和塑造了全球事件，如约翰·斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》（1939）和阿尔伯特·加缪对霍乱爆发的想象——《瘟疫》（1947）。)”可知，作者提到这些作家是为了说明文学如何记录和被全球事件塑造这种现象。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same.(这两部小说都提醒读者，他们的生活在危机中发生了多大的变化，但至少对作家和文学读者来说，有多少东西保持不变。)”可知，这两部小说都展示了人物在危机中面临的挑战。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez's and Mr Cunningham's books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory.(随着科技加速了人们的生活节奏，努涅斯女士和坎宁安先生的书可能最好被视为某个时代的文件，而这个时代现在似乎越来越遥远。)”可知，这些书作为记录一个特殊但逐渐成为过去的时期的文献具有重要意义。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground.(尽管题材新颖，但这些书并没有突破文学领域。)”可知，作者对这两部小说持客观态度，认为它们虽然有新的主题，但并未在文学上取得突破。故选A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。 There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.___16___It shines our way through darkness. Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.___17___And how? Embarking on new experiences is an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.___18___It is not emotion-based either. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open- mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights. What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement?___19___ The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why. Rome was not built in a day.___20___It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges. A. Individuals need to bring it out. B. It isn’t something you are born with. C. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. D. Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination. E. A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors. F. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions. G. In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述智慧是我们前进道路上的指路明灯，并且探讨了如何才能获取智慧。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.（在一个充满混乱、争议和冲突的世界里，它不仅是一种可取的品质，而且是绝对必要的。）”和下文“It shines our way through darkness.（它照亮我们穿越黑暗的道路。）”可知，智慧可以为我们的世界导航，照亮前方的道路，所以，空处应该是将智慧比作灯塔。G项“In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light.（为了在其中航行，智慧成为我们的指路明灯。）”承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 上文“Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.（虽然这些角色给了我们每个人无数的灵感，但智慧其实在于我们自己。）”和下文“And how?（那怎么做呢？）” 说明虽然童话故事和魔幻电影里的角色让我们感受到智慧，但获取和运用智慧在于我们自己。空处应该进一步引出我们和智慧的关系。A项“Individuals need to bring it out.（个人需要把它带出来。）”承上启下，其中it指代前文提到的wisdom，且引出下文“个人怎样将智慧带出来”的内容。故选A项。 【18题详解】 上文“To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.（为了确定真相，你需要接受不同的观点。）”说明应该接受不同的观点。F项“Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions.（永远不要把你的观点建立在最流行的观点上。）”承接上文，说明不应该只追随最流行的观点，并且和下文“It is not emotion-based either.（它也不是基于情感的。）”相衔接，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement?（如果你渴望个人成长和进步呢?）”提出假设，空处应该会对假设做出解答或说明。E项“A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors.（要做到这一点，一个捷径就是找有智慧的人做你的导师。）”对上文的问题给出了回答，下文“The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be.（你和他们相处的时间越长，学到的知识就越多。）”中的them呼应wise people。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Rome was not built in a day.（罗马不是一天建成的。）”和下文“It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges.（重要的是要认识到，当你面对生活的挑战时，你需要一段时间的生活和不断的努力来获得成熟的智慧。）”可知，此段讲获取智慧不是一蹴而就的，需要不断努力。D项“Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination.（记住，发展智慧是无止境的。）”承上启下，和前文结构一致，形成对比，引出下文。故选D项。 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。 Last year, on our mom-son trip to Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything.

But ____36____ (trial) of a four day work week in Iceland were considered remarkably successful. They led to many workers ____37____ (move) to shorter hours and workers around the world are following the trend. Why has this practice gained popularity and is it possible to apply it cross ____38____ (cultural)? The trials, ____39____ involved more than 2,500 workers took place in 2015. It was reported that ____40____ (produce) remained the same or improved in the majority of workplaces. Meanwhile, they found their working conditions were less ____41____ (stress) and they were no longer at risk of burnout, and their health and work life balance had also improved.

It shows that the public service is ripe for being a pioneer of shorter working weeks and lessons can be learned by other governments. A number of other trials are now ____43____ (run) across the world. For instance, Unilever in New Zealand is giving staff a chance to cut their hours ____44____ 20% without hurting their pay in a trial. People feel actually more _____45_____ (attach) to the job in that they get rewarded by having more time. 【答案】36. trials 37. moving 38. culturally 39. which 40. productivity 41. stressful 42. a 43. being run 44. by 45. attached 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了冰岛试行四天工作制取得显著成功这一现象，分析了其受关注的原因以及在不同文化中应用的可能性。 【36题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：但冰岛试行的四天工作制被认为非常成功。根据谓语动词“were”可知，主语应用复数形式，trial意为“试验，试行”，是可数名词，所以此处填trials。故填trials。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它们促使许多工人缩短工作时间，世界各地的工人也在追随这一趋势。lead to sb. doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“导致某人做某事”，其中to是介词，所以此处用动名词moving。故填moving。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：为什么这种做法越来越受欢迎，它有可能在不同文化中应用吗？此处修饰动词“apply”，应用副词culturally，意为“从文化角度；在文化方面”。故填culturally。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这些试验于2015年进行，涉及2500多名工人。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“The trials”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该定语从句。故填which。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：据报道，大多数工作场所的生产力保持不变或有所提高。根据空前的“that”及空后的“remained”可知，此处应用名词productivity作主语，意为“生产力”，不可数。故填productivity。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：与此同时，他们发现自己的工作条件压力较小，不再有倦怠的风险，他们的健康和工作与生活的平衡也得到了改善。此处位于系动词“were”后作表语，描述“working conditions(工作条件)”的特征，应用形容词stressful，意为“有压力的”。故填stressful。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：因此，有史以来世界上最大规模的缩短工作周试验无论从哪个角度衡量都是一次彻底的成功。success在此处表示“成功的事”，是可数名词，此处表示泛指“一次彻底的成功”，且“complete”是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【43题详解】 考查动词语态和时态。句意：目前，世界各地正在进行一些其他试验。根据时间状语“now”可知，此处表示现在正在进行的动作，且trials与run之间是被动关系，即“试验被进行”，所以用现在进行时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are + being +过去分词”，此处填being run。故填being run。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：例如，新西兰的联合利华在一项试验中，让员工有机会在不影响工资的情况下将工作时间减少20%。“cut... by + 百分数”表示“减少……（百分之几）”，所以此处填by。故填by。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：人们实际上觉得自己与这份工作的联系更紧密了，因为他们通过拥有更多时间得到了回报。feel为系动词，此处应用形容词attached作表语，be/feel attached to意为“喜爱；依恋；与……有紧密联系”。故填attached。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假设你是李华。你校英文广播台计划本学期新增每周15分钟的文化类节目，现向全校同学征求方案。请你给广播台负责人Eric写一封邮件，内容包括： (1) 阐明规划；(2) 说明意图。 注意： (1) 写作词数应为80左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Eric, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Eric, I’m Li Hua, a student passionate about cultural exchange.

We had been training for over a year, preparing for the physical and mental challenges of the climb. Our team, composed of experienced mountaineers and a few beginners like myself, had grown close during our training sessions. We relied on each other for support, encouragement, and motivation. If someone was struggling, the rest of us would step in to help, whether it was carrying extra sports equipment or offering words of encouragement. The first two days of the climb went smoothly. We made good progress, reaching Camp Muir at 10,000 feet without any major issues. The weather was perfect, and our spirits were high. On the third day, we began our push for the peak. The plan was to start early in the morning, around 2 a.m., to take advantage of the colder, firmer snow. We roped up and began the climb, each of us focused on the task at hand. As we approached Disappointment, Cleaver, a steep and dangerous section of the climb, the weather began to change. The wind picked up, and the temperature dropped significantly. We could barely see more than a few feet in front of us because of the dense fog, and the snow underfoot became unstable. Despite the challenging conditions, we carried on, determined to reach the peak. Then, disaster struck. One of our team members, Sarah, lost her footing and slipped. The force of her fall pulled the rest of us off balance, and we all fell, sliding down the slope (斜坡). I felt a sharp pain in my leg as I hit a rock, and I knew immediately that something was wrong. The rest of the team quickly regained their footing and managed to stop our slide, but I was unable to stand. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I think my leg is broken,” I said painfully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team arrived finally. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I think my leg is broken,” I said painfully. The team members gathered around me, their faces filled with worry. Our team leader, Mark, quickly assessed the situation. He gently examined my leg, trying to determine the extent of the injury. Sarah, who felt guilty for causing the fall, was on the verge of tears. “I’m so sorry, this is all my fault,” she sobbed. Everyone comforted her, emphasizing that accidents happen. Mark radioed for help, but due to the poor weather conditions, the rescue team couldn’t reach us immediately. In the freezing cold, the team huddled around me, sharing their body heat to keep me warm. The rescue team arrived finally. They carefully strapped me onto a stretcher and carried me down the mountain. The rest of the team followed closely behind, relieved that I was in professional hands. Back at the base camp, I received medical treatment. Although my leg was broken, I was filled with gratitude for my teammates. They had not only supported me during the accident but also made the decision to stay with me instead of continuing their journey to the peak. The experience taught me the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了2019年夏，作者参与八人团队攀登华盛顿州雷尼尔山，团队训练超一年且成员彼此支持。前两日攀登顺利，第三天接近 “失望之角” 时天气恶化，队员莎拉滑倒致众人摔倒，作者腿部受伤无法站立。队友围拢，队长查伤情，莎拉自责，因天气差救援未及时到，众人保暖。最终救援队至，作者下山接受治疗。虽骨折，但作者感激队友支持及放弃登顶的陪伴，体会到团队合作与友谊的真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想我的腿断了。我痛苦地说。”可知，第一段可描写队长马克检查了作者的伤情以及用无线电求救。 ②由第二段首句内容“救援队终于到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者接受了治疗以及对这次登山经历的感受。 2.续写线索：我想我的腿断了——队长马克检查了我的腿——用无线电求救——救援队终于到了——得到了治疗——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①评估：assessed / evaluated ②检查：examined /checked ③强调：emphasizing /stressing 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude / appreciation ②内疚的：guilty / compunctious 【点睛】[高分句型1]Sarah, who felt guilty for causing the fall, was on the verge of tears.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Although my leg was broken, I was filled with gratitude for my teammates.（运用了Although引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
