B For all my seventeen years, New York City has been my home. It’s a place of energy, though often seen as cold and distant. Yet, personal connections can still happen here. One cold November, my high school soccer team was heading home to Manhattan after a game in the Bronx. Twenty of us piled onto the D train, loud and full of energy, filling the car with our talking and laughter. To pass the time on the long ride, we started singing loudly, our excitement making up for our lack of musical talent. Our noise was met with mostly unhappy looks from the other passengers. Then, an old homeless man with worn-out clothes and a calm and respectful manner entered the car. He announced he would sing a few songs. While most people ignored him, we watched closely. He began with “Joy to the World.” His strong and clear voice was so moving that we found ourselves joining in. The atmosphere (气氛) in the car changed; people who had been keeping to themselves now listened, enjoying this special moment. He sang a few more songs, including one of his own, and was met with applause. For his final song, he chose “God Bless America.” This time, not just our group, but everyone in the car joined in singing. The powerful, united singing drew people from other subway cars to ours. I saw a woman holding a baby, singing with tears streaming down her cheeks. In that moment, a group of strangers — reserved New Yorkers, high school girls, and a homeless man — came together through songs, allowing our voices and hearts to become one. It is a moment whose power will stay with me forever. 4. What do people often think of New Yorkers? A. They are always in a hurry. B. They care little about others. C. They are proud of their soccer teams. D. They are concerned about the homeless. 5. Why did we begin to sing on the D train? A. To show off their beautiful voice. B. To cover the loud noise of the D train. C. To kill the time during the long ride. D. To attract the attention of other passengers. 6. How did the atmosphere change after the old man started singing? A. It remained largely unchanged. B. It became more silent and serious. C. It became strange and uncomfortable. D. It became warmer and more united. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the rules of behavior on the D train. B. To discuss the musical talent of the homeless man. C. To tell the story of an unexpected human connection. D. To describe the challenges of living in New York. C In 2021, Ipsos surveyed 21,000 people in 30 countries to identify actions they believed would most reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Most people picked recycling, followed by buying renewable energy, turning to an electric car, and choosing low-energy light bulbs. However, when classed by their actual influence, recycling was third-from-bottom, and low-energy light bulbs were last. None of the top three options chosen by people appeared in the “real” top three, which were having one fewer child, not having a car, and avoiding one long-distance flight. The survey also asked about the climate effects of different diets. Many participants thought a diet with locally produced meat and dairy was more eco-friendly than an imported (进口的) vegetarian diet. In fact, beef and dairy have among the highest carbon footprints, no matter where they come from. While buying locally might feel environmentally friendly, beef and dairy have two of the highest carbon footprints of any food. Finally, what you choose to eat is generally far more important than where you source it from. Data scientist and author Hannah Ritchie expands on these examples in her upcoming book, Not the End of the World. She notes that everything has a greenhouse gas footprint: watching movies, charging phones, or having a cup of tea. Naturally, we stress about the decisions we have to make. “The cost of fighting climate change is too high and it’s taken over our lives. That would be okay if all these actions were really making a difference, but they’re not. It’s misplaced effort and stress, sometimes even at the cost of the few actions that really will matter,” writes Ritchie. The emphasis (强调) on “natural” and “green” choices can mislead people. Maybe it’s time to drop the feeling-driven approach to environmentalism. As Ritchie writes, there’s nothing wrong with doing things that have a small effect on the environment or help out in ways personally important to us, but we shouldn’t miss bigger changes just because they don’t feel obvious. 8. What was considered the most effective emission-reduction action by people in the survey? A. Having one fewer child. B. Buying renewable energy. C. Recycling. D. Avoiding one long-distance flight. 9. Why might local meat and dairy not be eco-friendly? A. Local farms often use more energy than large ones. B. Imported vegetarian food is always a better choice. C. Their carbon footprint is high regardless of origin. D. Local food is less fresh than imported food. 10. What does Hannah Ritchie mean by “misplaced effort and stress” in Paragraph 3? A. People’s efforts bring little real effect. B. Climate data misleads people’s choices. C. Small green actions hardly affect climate change. D. Experts don’t recognize people’s climate efforts. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Going Green is Not beyond Us. B. Your Efforts Make a Big Difference. C. Bigger Changes Are upon Us. D. Your Eco-Friendly Lifestyle Is a Big Lie. D AI has advanced greatly over the years. However, its present models largely ignore human psychology, such as emotional intelligence. “The main focus of our work was how we could bring the emotional part of intelligence to AI,” says Saptarshi Das, associate professor at Penn State. “Human behaviour is easy to observe but difficult to measure and that makes it difficult to copy in a robot and make it emotionally intelligent. There is no real way right now to do that.” Eating habits serve as a prime example of this emotional intelligence. While hunger is the physiological drive to eat, our choices of what to eat are influenced by our sense of taste. As Das explains, even when one is not hungry, the psychological desire can drive him or her to have a sweet treat, rather than a piece of meat. To understand how taste works, researchers from Penn State studied the human tongue (舌头). The tongue turns chemical information into electrical signals that go to the brain’s taste centre. There, complex brain cell networks form our sense of taste. To copy this process, the team built an electronic “tongue”. This technology can be adapted to recognize all primary taste characteristics, from sweet and salty to umami (鲜味). Looking ahead, the researchers see many applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or personalized restaurant meal suggestions. The team’s first goal is to improve the electronic tongue’s abilities. “We are trying to copy the 10,000 or so taste buds (味蕾) on our tongue. Each bud is a little different, which lets us tell apart small taste differences,” says Das. “The example I think of is people who train their tongue to become a wine taster. Perhaps in the future, we can have an AI system that you can train and be an even better wine taster.” Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more complete and emotionally intelligent AI system. 12. What is the main problem with present AI models? A. They are hard to copy in robots. B. They have made little progress. C. They ignore human psychology. D. They can’t observe human behaviour. 13. What did researchers do to study taste? A. Trained an AI wine taster. B. Designed personalized diets. C. Broadened the concept to other senses. D. Studied the tongue and built an electronic one. 14. What might this electronic tongue be applied to in the future? A. Designing a healthier diet plan for people. B. Checking people’s diet plans. C. Helping restaurants serve customers better. D. Correcting people’s poor dietary preferences. 15. What is the team’s plan according to the last two paragraphs? A. Bringing all the human senses into the AI system. B. Making the electronic tongue available for everyone. C. Drawing other researchers’ attention to AI’s new ideas. D. Improving people’s taste sensitivity with the electronic tongue. 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。 Surely, you want to be empowered (赋能的), always in the driver’s seat of your own life, but sometimes life leaves you feeling powerless or stuck, having no control over a situation. ____16____ Start by making a small change in your daily life.

That’s what I thought when I saw a woman doing just that. Well, she wasn’t asleep at the time, but I guessed that was her difficulty when I noticed that the inside of the car was piled high with her belongings from the passenger seat to the back seats. I’d been noticing this car parked in the same space on this quiet lot for a few weeks. I finally went over to the car and asked if I could get her something from the nearby store. She refused but at least I got a look close enough to see that she was normal, not on drugs, spoke English and was not in any immediate suffering despite how it looked. This made me all the more curios. The woman said her name was Justine. As we talked, darkness began to set in, so I told her I had to leave, thinking I’d return another day. Then I started for home. A week later, I was back shopping at a store near the lot and there was Justine in that car on a hot day! I had had enough. I went over to the car, hoping to hear her story. That’s the way everyone would do. It’s what all kind people should do. But I wonder how many persons would have simply passed by without stopping. I was there to help, not to judge or criticize (批评). What if we all try our best to help people in trouble? How much better would this world be? How many more good activities than bad would make paper headlines? There would be so many acts of kindness, and the media would have no choice but to switch the focus from the bad to the good. I decided to be such a good person. 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。 My concern touched Justine and she told me about her troubles. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I wanted to help her find a job to build up her confidence in life. _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026下学期高一期中考试 英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，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;回答非选择题时，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 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。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

It’s a place of energy, though often seen as cold and distant. Yet, personal connections can still happen here. One cold November, my high school soccer team was heading home to Manhattan after a game in the Bronx. Twenty of us piled onto the D train, loud and full of energy, filling the car with our talking and laughter. To pass the time on the long ride, we started singing loudly, our excitement making up for our lack of musical talent. Our noise was met with mostly unhappy looks from the other passengers. Then, an old homeless man with worn-out clothes and a calm and respectful manner entered the car. He announced he would sing a few songs. While most people ignored him, we watched closely. He began with “Joy to the World.” His strong and clear voice was so moving that we found ourselves joining in. The atmosphere (气氛) in the car changed; people who had been keeping to themselves now listened, enjoying this special moment. He sang a few more songs, including one of his own, and was met with applause. For his final song, he chose “God Bless America.” This time, not just our group, but everyone in the car joined in singing. The powerful, united singing drew people from other subway cars to ours. I saw a woman holding a baby, singing with tears streaming down her cheeks. In that moment, a group of strangers — reserved New Yorkers, high school girls, and a homeless man — came together through songs, allowing our voices and hearts to become one. It is a moment whose power will stay with me forever. 4. What do people often think of New Yorkers? A. They are always in a hurry. B. They care little about others. C. They are proud of their soccer teams. D. They are concerned about the homeless. 5. Why did we begin to sing on the D train? A. To show off their beautiful voice. B. To cover the loud noise of the D train. C. To kill the time during the long ride. D. To attract the attention of other passengers. 6. How did the atmosphere change after the old man started singing? A. It remained largely unchanged. B. It became more silent and serious. C. It became strange and uncomfortable. D. It became warmer and more united. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the rules of behavior on the D train. B. To discuss the musical talent of the homeless man. C. To tell the story of an unexpected human connection. D. To describe the challenges of living in New York. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7.

Most people picked recycling, followed by buying renewable energy, turning to an electric car, and choosing low-energy light bulbs. However, when classed by their actual influence, recycling was third-from-bottom, and low-energy light bulbs were last. None of the top three options chosen by people appeared in the “real” top three, which were having one fewer child, not having a car, and avoiding one long-distance flight. The survey also asked about the climate effects of different diets. Many participants thought a diet with locally produced meat and dairy was more eco-friendly than an imported (进口的) vegetarian diet. In fact, beef and dairy have among the highest carbon footprints, no matter where they come from. While buying locally might feel environmentally friendly, beef and dairy have two of the highest carbon footprints of any food. Finally, what you choose to eat is generally far more important than where you source it from. Data scientist and author Hannah Ritchie expands on these examples in her upcoming book, Not the End of the World. She notes that everything has a greenhouse gas footprint: watching movies, charging phones, or having a cup of tea. Naturally, we stress about the decisions we have to make. “The cost of fighting climate change is too high and it’s taken over our lives. That would be okay if all these actions were really making a difference, but they’re not. It’s misplaced effort and stress, sometimes even at the cost of the few actions that really will matter,” writes Ritchie. The emphasis (强调) on “natural” and “green” choices can mislead people. Maybe it’s time to drop the feeling-driven approach to environmentalism. As Ritchie writes, there’s nothing wrong with doing things that have a small effect on the environment or help out in ways personally important to us, but we shouldn’t miss bigger changes just because they don’t feel obvious. 8. What was considered the most effective emission-reduction action by people in the survey? A. Having one fewer child. B. Buying renewable energy. C. Recycling. D. Avoiding one long-distance flight. 9. Why might local meat and dairy not be eco-friendly? A. Local farms often use more energy than large ones. B. Imported vegetarian food is always a better choice. C. Their carbon footprint is high regardless of origin. D. Local food is less fresh than imported food. 10. What does Hannah Ritchie mean by “misplaced effort and stress” in Paragraph 3? A. People’s efforts bring little real effect. B. Climate data misleads people’s choices. C. Small green actions hardly affect climate change. D. Experts don’t recognize people’s climate efforts. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Going Green is Not beyond Us. B. Your Efforts Make a Big Difference. C. Bigger Changes Are upon Us. D. Your Eco-Friendly Lifestyle Is a Big Lie. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍人们对减排及环保饮食的认知与实际效果不符，指出应摒弃感性环保方式，重视真正有效的环保行动。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In 2021, Ipsos surveyed 21,000 people in 30 countries to identify actions they believed would most reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Most people picked recycling, followed by buying renewable energy, turning to an electric car, and choosing low-energy light bulbs. (2021年，益普索公司在30个国家对2.1万人开展了一项调查，旨在找出人们认为最能减少温室气体排放的举措。大多数人选择了回收利用，其次是购买可再生能源、换成电动汽车以及选用节能灯泡。)”可知，在该调查中，人们认为最有效的减排举措是回收利用。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In fact, beef and dairy have among the highest carbon footprints, no matter where they come from.(事实上，无论产自哪里，牛肉和奶制品的碳足迹都位居前列。)”可知，本地生产的肉类和奶制品并不环保，因为不管其产地如何，这类食物的碳足迹本身就很高。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The cost of fighting climate change is too high and it’s taken over our lives. That would be okay if all these actions were really making a difference, but they’re not.(应对气候变化的成本过高，而且这件事已经占据了我们的生活。要是所有这些行动真能起到作用倒也罢了，可事实并非如此。)”可知，“misplaced effort and stress”指人们在环保上付出的努力方向不对，这些努力并没有带来实际效果。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章核心是揭示人们日常秉持的诸多环保理念和行为，如回收利用、选用本地肉类奶制品等，实际环保效果与认知不符，强调不应被感性的环保选择误导，要关注真正有效的环保举措。选项D“你的环保生活方式是一大谎言”能准确概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 D AI has advanced greatly over the years. However, its present models largely ignore human psychology, such as emotional intelligence. “The main focus of our work was how we could bring the emotional part of intelligence to AI,” says Saptarshi Das, associate professor at Penn State. “Human behaviour is easy to observe but difficult to measure and that makes it difficult to copy in a robot and make it emotionally intelligent. There is no real way right now to do that.” Eating habits serve as a prime example of this emotional intelligence. While hunger is the physiological drive to eat, our choices of what to eat are influenced by our sense of taste. As Das explains, even when one is not hungry, the psychological desire can drive him or her to have a sweet treat, rather than a piece of meat. To understand how taste works, researchers from Penn State studied the human tongue (舌头). The tongue turns chemical information into electrical signals that go to the brain’s taste centre. There, complex brain cell networks form our sense of taste. To copy this process, the team built an electronic “tongue”. This technology can be adapted to recognize all primary taste characteristics, from sweet and salty to umami (鲜味). Looking ahead, the researchers see many applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or personalized restaurant meal suggestions. The team’s first goal is to improve the electronic tongue’s abilities. “We are trying to copy the 10,000 or so taste buds (味蕾) on our tongue. Each bud is a little different, which lets us tell apart small taste differences,” says Das. “The example I think of is people who train their tongue to become a wine taster. Perhaps in the future, we can have an AI system that you can train and be an even better wine taster.” Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more complete and emotionally intelligent AI system. 12. What is the main problem with present AI models? A. They are hard to copy in robots. B. They have made little progress. C. They ignore human psychology. D. They can’t observe human behaviour. 13. What did researchers do to study taste? A. Trained an AI wine taster. B. Designed personalized diets. C. Broadened the concept to other senses. D. Studied the tongue and built an electronic one. 14. What might this electronic tongue be applied to in the future? A. Designing a healthier diet plan for people. B. Checking people’s diet plans. C. Helping restaurants serve customers better. D. Correcting people’s poor dietary preferences. 15. What is the team’s plan according to the last two paragraphs? A. Bringing all the human senses into the AI system. B. Making the electronic tongue available for everyone. C. Drawing other researchers’ attention to AI’s new ideas. D. Improving people’s taste sensitivity with the electronic tongue. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍当下人工智能忽视人类心理情商，科研人员研究人体舌头并研发电子舌，致力于打造拥有情感感知的人工智能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“AI has advanced greatly over the years. However, its present models largely ignore human psychology, such as emotional intelligence.(多年来人工智能取得了巨大进步，然而目前的模型在很大程度上忽视了人类心理，比如情商。)”可知，当下人工智能模型的主要问题是忽视人类心理。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To understand how taste works, researchers from Penn State studied the human tongue (舌头). The tongue turns chemical information into electrical signals that go to the brain’s taste centre.( 为了解味觉的工作原理，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究人员研究了人类舌头。舌头将化学信息转化为传送到大脑味觉中枢的电信号。)”以及“To copy this process, the team built an electronic “tongue”.(为复刻这一过程，团队研制出了电子“舌头”。)”可知，研究人员通过研究人类舌头并制作电子舌头来研究味觉。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Looking ahead, the researchers see many applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or personalized restaurant meal suggestions.(展望未来，研究人员发现它有诸多应用，包括由AI设计、基于情感偏好的饮食方案或为餐厅提供个性化用餐建议。)”可知，电子舌头未来可助力餐厅更好地为顾客提供服务。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读最后两段，尤其是最后一段中的“Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more complete and emotionally intelligent AI system.(除味觉之外，该团队希望将这一理念拓展到其他感官，打造更完善、具备情感智能的人工智能系统。)”可知，团队计划将人类各类感官都融入人工智能系统之中。 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。 Surely, you want to be empowered (赋能的), always in the driver’s seat of your own life, but sometimes life leaves you feeling powerless or stuck, having no control over a situation. ____16____ Start by making a small change in your daily life.

That’s what I thought when I saw a woman doing just that. Well, she wasn’t asleep at the time, but I guessed that was her difficulty when I noticed that the inside of the car was piled high with her belongings from the passenger seat to the back seats. I’d been noticing this car parked in the same space on this quiet lot for a few weeks. I finally went over to the car and asked if I could get her something from the nearby store. She refused but at least I got a look close enough to see that she was normal, not on drugs, spoke English and was not in any immediate suffering despite how it looked. This made me all the more curios. The woman said her name was Justine. As we talked, darkness began to set in, so I told her I had to leave, thinking I’d return another day. Then I started for home. A week later, I was back shopping at a store near the lot and there was Justine in that car on a hot day! I had had enough. I went over to the car, hoping to hear her story. That’s the way everyone would do. It’s what all kind people should do. But I wonder how many persons would have simply passed by without stopping. I was there to help, not to judge or criticize (批评). What if we all try our best to help people in trouble? How much better would this world be? How many more good activities than bad would make paper headlines? There would be so many acts of kindness, and the media would have no choice but to switch the focus from the bad to the good. I decided to be such a good person. 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。 My concern touched Justine and she told me about her troubles. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I wanted to help her find a job to build up her confidence in life. _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My concern touched Justine and she told me about her troubles. Then she told me that she was an painter. I learned that she was devoted to painting and had a successful personal art exhibition one year ago. Unfortunately, her studio caught fire a year ago, which almost destroyed everything and her hand was injured. Then, she couldn’t find inspiration for her paintings and has become less and less confident. So she took her luggage and began to travel around the country to forget the pain. I wanted to help her find a job to build up her confidence in life. I suddenly remembered a painting dealer, who opened an art gallery. Maybe he could use a painter like Justine there. That’s why I called him and told him about the story of Justine. To my delight, when he finished reading Justin’s paintings, he agreed to invite Justin to work in his gallery. Looking at Justin’s satisfied smile and tears, I knew my kindness was rewarded. A small act of kindness and concern for others is enough to make a difference in someone’s life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者发现了一个住在车里的女人，他想提供帮助但是遭到了拒绝，于是他进一步和女人交谈并最终帮助她找到工作重拾自信的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的关心触动了贾斯汀，她告诉了我她的烦恼。”可知，第一段可描写作者了解到贾斯汀的困境。 ②由第二段首句内容“我想帮她找一份工作，建立她对生活的信心。”可知，第二段可描写作者帮助贾斯汀的过程。 2.续写线索：发现贾斯汀——第一次提供帮助——遭到拒绝——了解情况——再次提供帮助——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①破坏：destroy/ruin ②给某人打电话：call sb./phone sb. ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①令人高兴的是：To one’s delight/happily ②满意的：satisfied /content 【点睛】 [高分句型1]：I learned that she was devoted to painting and had a successful personal art exhibition one year ago.（由连接词that引导的宾语从句作learned的宾语） [高分句型2]：Unfortunately, her studio caught fire a year ago, which almost destroyed everything and her hand was injured.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
