This festival is an event of the arts, music, opera, ballet, film and outdoor celebrations. La Tomatina (西红柿节) In Spain, La Tomatina is a lot of fun. The week-long festival has music, parades, dancing, fireworks and lots of tomatoes! Every August thousands of Spaniards take part in the La Tomatina festival.

Here are some of them.( 节日就像很多人的大聚会。下面是其中的一些)”可知，文章开篇指出节日就像很多人的大派对，接着分别介绍了四个来自不同地方的有趣的节日，包括节日的地点、特色活动等。由此可推知，这篇文章的目的是介绍来自世界各地的有趣节日。故选C项。 B It was a dream come true to study at one of the oldest and best universities in the world. I enjoyed living and studying in Oxford which is little old town with rich history and beautiful buildings. The studying pace was very fast and demanding. However, there was still enough room to have fun with friends from my cohort (同伴). I really enjoyed the social life and being surrounded by like-minded people from all around the world. I was surprised by how diverse the student body was when I arrived in Oxford. It is a melting pot (熔炉) of extremely smart and talented people from different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. Another shock I experienced was the obvious divide between students and locals. Oxford is after all not just a university but also a town inhabited (居住于) by locals. Although we all share the same space, there is almost no interaction between the students and the locals. During my studies, I could not work because there simply wasn’t enough time to balance a demanding academic program and a job. Luckily I was on a scholarship that covered all of my costs so I didn’t have to worry about it. At the end of my master’s program, I interned (实习) at the Open Society Foundations. I come from a low-income family in Croatia, and as a young person, I never thought I would be able to visit places like the UK, let alone study at a world-famous and expensive university like Oxford. Later I realized that there are actually many scholarships and programs that help students like me gain access to higher education. I would recommend young students from disadvantaged backgrounds to think big and not give up on their dreams. The doors will open for those who are determined and positive. 4. What did the author like in Oxford? A. The social life and his cohort’s company. B. The fast and demanding studying pace. C. The old and beautiful buildings. D. The local cultural history. 5. Why was the author surprised on arrival in Oxford? A. The beautiful town. B. Friendly local people. C. Smart and talented people. D. Students from different backgrounds. 6. How did the author pay the costs in Oxford? A. With the help of the Open Society Foundations. B. With the support of a scholarship. C. By attending some programs. D. By doing part-time jobs. 7. What does the author tell the young students? A. They should study in famous universities. B. Scholarships will make them excellent. C. They should try hard to realize their dreams. D. Students from low-income families are not bad. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在牛津大学的学习生活经历，包括其在当地的见闻、费用来源，并鼓励出身不利的年轻学生要胸怀大志、坚持梦想。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, there was still enough room to have fun with friends from my cohort (同伴). I really enjoyed the social life and being surrounded by like-minded people from all around the world. (不过，我仍然有充足的时间和同届的朋友们一起玩乐。我十分享受这里的社交生活，也喜欢身边围绕着来自世界各地、志同道合的人)”可知，作者明确提到自己喜欢牛津的社交生活和同伴的陪伴。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I was surprised by how diverse the student body was when I arrived in Oxford. It is a melting pot (熔炉) of extremely smart and talented people from different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. (刚到牛津时，学生群体的多样性让我感到惊讶。这里就像一个熔炉，汇聚了来自不同文化和社会经济背景的绝顶聪明、才华横溢的人)”可知，作者感到惊讶的是学生群体的多样性，即来自不同背景的学生。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Luckily I was on a scholarship that covered all of my costs so I didn’t have to worry about it. (幸运的是，我获得了一份涵盖所有费用的奖学金，所以不必为此担忧)”可知，作者在牛津大学的所有费用由奖学金承担。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I would recommend young students from disadvantaged backgrounds to think big and not give up on their dreams. The doors will open for those who are determined and positive. (我建议出身不利的年轻学生要胸怀大志，不要放弃梦想。那些坚定且积极乐观的人，终会迎来机遇的大门)”可知，作者建议年轻学生要胸怀大志，不要放弃梦想，努力实现梦想。故选C。 C Many educators have been teaching themselves how to use AI. For Jerome Ong, a 5th grade teacher in Ridgewood, New Jersey, AI has changed the way he approaches teaching. He now uses AI tools every week in his classroom. “You have to find what works for your students,” he said. Ong not only teaches his students what AI is, but also where it falls short. “If you keep at it and say, ‘No, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,’ eventually AI will say, ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong.’ Doing that with your class can show you that AI isn’t really as smart as you think it is,” Ong said. This summer, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic announced a first-of-its-kind plan to train hundreds of thousands of members of the American Federation of Teachers. “I think if we’re going to make AI work for students and kids, we need to listen to teachers,” said Microsoft president Brad Smith. The $23 million investment will go toward virtual and in-person training in New York City. “The direct connection between a teacher and their kids can never be replaced by new technologies, but if we learn how to use them, set practical guidelines and put teachers in the driver’s seat, teaching and learning can be better,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten. However, critics cite cheating concerns and Microsoft’s own research, which showed a self-reported reduction in critical thinking skills when AI was not used responsibly. AFT member Lois Weiner thinks teachers would be better served by more support within schools than by a partnership with Silicon Valley. “There is so much boredom in the job, but the answer to that is to improve teachers’ working conditions,” said Weiner, adding that AI does not achieve better work conditions for teachers. Smith argued education should be left to teachers: “Those of us in the tech field need to provide the tools and help school boards, districts, and teachers so they decide how to put those tools into practice.” 8. What do the underlined words “falls short” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is wrong. B. Has limitations. C. Is not enough. D. Fails to work. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Teachers are urged to listen to students. B. Microsoft will invest $23 million in NYC. C. Tech companies plan to train teachers. D. Three firms aim to promote AI in schools. 10. What can be inferred from Lois Weiner’s comments? A. AI can help reduce teachers’ boredom. B. Partnership with tech firms benefits teachers. C. Teachers are smarter than AI. D. Teachers need more support within schools. 11. What is Brad Smith’s attitude towards AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了科技公司助力教师掌握AI技术及其引发的讨论。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Ong not only teaches his students what AI is, but also where it falls short. “If you keep at it and say, ‘No, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,’ eventually AI will say, ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong.’ Doing that with your class can show you that AI isn’t really as smart as you think it is,” Ong said.(Ong不仅教他的学生什么是人工智能，还教它falls short。“如果你一直坚持说，‘不，你错了，你错了，’最终人工智能会说，‘对不起，我错了。’在课堂上这样做可以让你知道，人工智能并不像你想象的那么聪明，”Ong说。)”可知，Ong不仅教他的学生什么是人工智能，还教它的局限性，此处falls short“有局限性”。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“This summer, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic announced a first-of-its-kind plan to train hundreds of thousands of members of the American Federation of Teachers.(今年夏天，微软、OpenAI和Anthropic宣布了一项前所未有的计划，将培训美国教师联合会的数十万名成员。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了科技公司计划培训教师。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“AFT member Lois Weiner thinks teachers would be better served by more support within schools than by a partnership with Silicon Valley.(美国教师联合会成员Lois Weiner认为，与硅谷的合作相比，学校内部给予教师更多的支持对教师更有利。)”可知，从Lois Weiner的评论中可以推断出教师需要学校内部更多的支持。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Smith argued education should be left to teachers: “Those of us in the tech field need to provide the tools and help school boards, districts, and teachers so they decide how to put those tools into practice.”(Smith认为教育应该留给教师：“我们这些科技领域的人需要提供工具，帮助学校董事会、学区和教师，让他们决定如何将这些工具付诸实践。”)”可知，Brad Smith认为科技领域的人需要提供工具，帮助学校和教师，让他们决定如何使用这些工具，由此可推知，Brad Smith对人工智能在教育中的应用持支持态度。故选A。 D As a writing teacher, I am used to reading and responding to difficult texts. In fact, I like dealing with texts that have interesting ideas, because I understand their value. I have learned through my years of education that what eventually appeals to me is not just grammatically-perfect, smooth writing, but writing that forces me to think beyond the page. It is writing where the writer has challenged himself or herself and then offered that challenge to the reader. You will often come across critical thinking and analysis as requirements for tasks in writing and upper-level courses across different subjects. Instructors have different explanations of what they actually require from you, but, in general, they expect you to respond thoughtfully to the texts you read. The first thing you should remember is not to be afraid of critical thinking. It does not mean that you have to criticize the text, oppose its basic idea, or attack the writer simply because you feel you have to. Criticism is the process of responding to and judging ideas, arguments, and style so that readers understand how and why you value them. Critical thinking is also a process that is key to all subjects. While in this passage I refer mainly to critical thinking in writing, the general principles behind critical thinking are very similar in other fields. In history, for instance, it could mean examining and analyzing primary sources to understand the background in which they were written. In the hard sciences, it usually involves making judgments and decisions rationally (理性地), and solving problems. While critical thinking may be subject-specific, most of its general principles such as thinking rationally, making independent judgments, and having a healthy doubt about what is being read, are common to all subjects. No matter the area of study, using critical thinking skills leads to clear, flexible thinking and a better understanding of the subject at hand. 12. Why does the author prefer certain texts? A. They are error-free in grammar. B. They present exciting viewpoints. C. They make readers reflective. D. They read smoothly and easily. 13. What is critical thinking according to the author? A. Challenging the author’s viewpoint. B. Considering and assessing thoughts. C. Rejecting the text’s main argument. D. Finding fault with the writing. 14. How does the author explain that critical thinking matters across all subjects? A. By referring to different areas of study. B. By describing what it means in history. C. By explaining its role in science. D. By drawing comparisons between fields. 15. What might be discussed in the follow-up text? A. Types of critical thinking. B. Uses of deep thinking. C. Benefits of critical thinking. D. Methods of thinking critically. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者作为写作教师对特定文本的偏好，阐述了批判性思维的定义，并强调了其在各学科中的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In fact, I like dealing with texts that have interesting ideas, because I understand their value. I have learned through my years of education that what eventually appeals to me is not just grammatically-perfect, smooth writing, but writing that forces me to think beyond the page. It is writing where the writer has challenged himself or herself and then offered that challenge to the reader. (事实上，我偏爱解读观点新颖深刻的文章，因为我深知其价值。多年教育让我明白：真正打动我的，从来不止是语法无误、文笔流畅的文字，而是能启发我跳出文本、深度思考的作品。这类创作，是作者先挑战自我，再将这份思辨感传递给读者。)”可知，作者更喜欢能促使读者思考的文本，也就是让读者有反思性的文本。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Criticism is the process of responding to and judging ideas, arguments, and style so that readers understand how and why you value them. (批判是对观点、论点和风格做出回应和判断的过程，以便读者理解你如何以及为什么重视它们。)”可知，批判性思维是考虑和评估想法的过程。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“While in this passage I refer mainly to critical thinking in writing, the general principles behind critical thinking are very similar in other fields. In history, for instance, it could mean examining and analyzing primary sources to understand the background in which they were written. In the hard sciences, it usually involves making judgments and decisions rationally (理性地), and solving problems. (虽然在这篇文章中我主要指的是写作中的批判性思维，但批判性思维背后的基本原则在其他领域也非常相似。例如，在历史领域，它可能意味着检查和分析原始资料，以了解它们所写的背景。在硬科学领域，它通常涉及理性地做出判断和决策，并解决问题。)”可知，作者通过提及不同研究领域来解释批判性思维在所有学科中的重要性。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章前三段主要介绍了批判性思维是什么以及它在不同学科中的重要性，最后一段提到“No matter the area of study, using critical thinking skills leads to clear, flexible thinking and a better understanding of the subject at hand. (无论研究领域如何，使用批判性思维技能都会带来清晰、灵活的思维，以及对当前主题更好的理解。)”，接下来可能会讨论如何进行批判性思考，即批判性思维的方法。故选D。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Put Down Your Smartphone For most people, when they wake up in the morning, the first thing to come to their mind is to find their smartphone. ___16___ .

It offers both home delivery and digital access (就连《纽约时报》每周也只需要9美元。它既提供送货上门服务，也提供数字版阅读权限)”提及了报纸的价格和订阅方式，由此可知此空应与读报纸的成本相关。B选项“Don’t be worried about the cost (不用担心成本问题)”引出下文关于报纸价格的内容，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 本段小标题为“Listen to the radio (听收音机)”，空后“You will be amazed at how entertaining and helpful some radio programs still can be (你会惊讶地发现，有些广播节目仍然既有趣又有用)”介绍了听广播的好处，因此此空应是给出“打开收音机”的具体建议。D选项“Take your old radio out again and turn it on (把你的旧收音机再拿出来打开)”呼应小标题主题，且衔接下文内容，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处需填写本段小标题，格式应与前文小标题一致，为祈使句。根据空后“However, whether dining at home or out, stick to the no-device rule. When having dinner in a restaurant with others, to make you stick to it, you can place phones in the center of the table (然而，无论是在家还是外出就餐，都要遵守不用电子设备的规则。和别人在餐厅吃饭时，为了坚持这个规则，你可以把手机放在桌子中央)”可知，本段核心建议是吃饭时放下手机。A选项“Set aside your phones（把手机放到一边）”为祈使句，且精准概括本段内容，适合作小标题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“When having dinner in a restaurant with others, to make you stick to it, you can place phones in the center of the table (和别人在餐厅吃饭时，为了坚持这个规则，你可以把手机放在桌子中央)”以及空后“Thus no one can break the rule (这样就没有人能违反规则了)”可知，此空应是补充另一个能让大家遵守“不用手机”规则的方法。F选项“You can also have a waiter put them in somewhere else (你也可以让服务员把手机放到别的地方)”中的“also”表明是补充建议，且能达到空后“没人违反规则”的效果，符合语境。故选F项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in a family where academic success was everything.

We became friends right away — sharing lunch tables, laughing through boring classes, and walking home together every day. “You’re like the sister I never had,” Mia said one afternoon, smiling as we sat under our favorite big tree. I nodded, feeling happy. For a month, we told each other everything—dreams, worries. Life felt perfect. Problems came when my diary disappeared. I’d left it on my desk during gym class, and when I came back, it was gone. I was worried — my deepest secrets were inside. Later, I saw Mia talking quietly with Sarah, the girl who always gave me mean looks. Mia looked at me, then quickly looked away. “Did you see my diary?” I asked, my voice shaking. Mia’s eyes got big. “No, I … I haven’t seen it.” But her hands shook as she spoke. I felt a bad feeling in my stomach. Sarah smiled in a mean way, and I knew — Mia had taken it. I stayed away from Mia completely. At lunch, I sat alone, staring at my sandwich. When she tried to talk to me, I turned my back. “What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice breaking. “Just leave me alone,” I said angrily. Mia’s face looked sad, and she ran off. Days turned into weeks. I missed her laugh, her advice, the way she could always make me smile. But I was too proud to say sorry. One rainy afternoon, I saw Mia sitting under our big tree, tears mixing with raindrops. My chest hurt, but I walked past her. Something lucky happened when I stayed late to finish a project. As I walked past the library, I heard a voice I knew. “I can’t believe you took her diary!” It was Sarah, shouting at a boy named Jake. 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。 “I just wanted to see what she wrote about me,” Jake said quietly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I went to find Mia under our tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： “I just wanted to see what she wrote about me,” Jake said quietly. I froze, my heart beating fast. My diary I rushed into the room, my face grew hot with anger. “That’s mine! You had no right to take it away!” I shouted, pulling it from Jake’s hands. Sarah’s face turned red. “I didn’t tell Mia anything,” she said in a lower voice. I held my diary tightly and ran out of the room. I felt something heavy was sitting in my stomach. Mia had been telling the truth all along. But I had blamed her for something she didn’t do, and she hadn’t even been angry with me. The next day, I went to find Mia under our tree. “I’m so sorry,” I said, my voice shaky. “I thought you took my diary, but it was Jake. I have to trust you.” Mia looked at me and her eyes were welled up with tears. “Why didn’t you just ask me?” she whispered. I sat down beside her, tears falling too. “I was stupid. You’re my best friend, Mia. I don’t want to lose you.” Mia smiled through her tears and gave me a tight hug. I understood then — true friendship isn’t about never having fights. It’s about forgiving and trusting. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为新生在西伍德高中与米娅成为好友，亲密无间，但作者的日记丢失后怀疑是米娅拿走，两人关系破裂，作者疏远米娅，后来偶然听到莎拉指责杰克偷了日记，误会即将解除的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容““我就是想看看她写了我什么，” 杰克轻声说。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现了真相并感到自责。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我到我们常去的那棵树下找米娅。”可知，第二段可描写作者向米娅道歉获得了原谅以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：知道真相——感到自责——道歉——误会解开——获得原谅——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲进：rush into/dash into ②信任：trust/have faith in ③低语：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①生气的：angry/irritated ②愚蠢的：stupid/foolish 【点睛】[高分句型1]But I had blamed her for something she didn’t do, and she hadn’t even been angry with me.(运用了省略了that的定语从句) [高分句型2]I froze, my heart beating fast.(运用了独立主格结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期期中考试 高一年级英语试卷 （本试卷共听力和笔试两部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta Do you like hot-air balloons? Then you should go to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico. Fiesta is a Spanish word for festival. The balloon festival lasts for nine days and has around 750 hot-air balloons. They are beautiful to see flying in the sky! It is expected to attract close to a million visitors. White Nights Festival In St. Petersburg, Russia, people celebrate the White Nights Festival. This arts festival is in the summer when there is still light at night! This festival is an event of the arts, music, opera, ballet, film and outdoor celebrations. La Tomatina (西红柿节) In Spain, La Tomatina is a lot of fun. The week-long festival has music, parades, dancing, fireworks and lots of tomatoes! Every August thousands of Spaniards take part in the La Tomatina festival. The people throw tomatoes at each other for the whole day and they don’t get angry, but the only rule is that the tomato must be flattened (捏扁) in the hand first, before being thrown. Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival In Pingxi, people gather (聚集) at the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival. People buy paper lanterns, light them and let them fly into the sky. Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival is an annual (一年一次的) event which is highly recommended (推荐) by famous media such as Discovery Channel, CNN Travel, and National Geographic Travel.

B It was a dream come true to study at one of the oldest and best universities in the world. I enjoyed living and studying in Oxford which is little old town with rich history and beautiful buildings. The studying pace was very fast and demanding. However, there was still enough room to have fun with friends from my cohort (同伴). I really enjoyed the social life and being surrounded by like-minded people from all around the world. I was surprised by how diverse the student body was when I arrived in Oxford. It is a melting pot (熔炉) of extremely smart and talented people from different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. Another shock I experienced was the obvious divide between students and locals. Oxford is after all not just a university but also a town inhabited (居住于) by locals. Although we all share the same space, there is almost no interaction between the students and the locals. During my studies, I could not work because there simply wasn’t enough time to balance a demanding academic program and a job. Luckily I was on a scholarship that covered all of my costs so I didn’t have to worry about it. At the end of my master’s program, I interned (实习) at the Open Society Foundations. I come from a low-income family in Croatia, and as a young person, I never thought I would be able to visit places like the UK, let alone study at a world-famous and expensive university like Oxford. Later I realized that there are actually many scholarships and programs that help students like me gain access to higher education. I would recommend young students from disadvantaged backgrounds to think big and not give up on their dreams. The doors will open for those who are determined and positive. 4. What did the author like in Oxford? A. The social life and his cohort’s company. B. The fast and demanding studying pace. C. The old and beautiful buildings. D. The local cultural history. 5. Why was the author surprised on arrival in Oxford? A. The beautiful town. B. Friendly local people. C. Smart and talented people. D. Students from different backgrounds. 6. How did the author pay the costs in Oxford? A. With the help of the Open Society Foundations. B. With the support of a scholarship. C. By attending some programs. D. By doing part-time jobs. 7. What does the author tell the young students? A. They should study in famous universities. B. Scholarships will make them excellent. C. They should try hard to realize their dreams. D. Students from low-income families are not bad. C Many educators have been teaching themselves how to use AI. For Jerome Ong, a 5th grade teacher in Ridgewood, New Jersey, AI has changed the way he approaches teaching. He now uses AI tools every week in his classroom. “You have to find what works for your students,” he said. Ong not only teaches his students what AI is, but also where it falls short. “If you keep at it and say, ‘No, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,’ eventually AI will say, ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong.’ Doing that with your class can show you that AI isn’t really as smart as you think it is,” Ong said. This summer, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic announced a first-of-its-kind plan to train hundreds of thousands of members of the American Federation of Teachers. “I think if we’re going to make AI work for students and kids, we need to listen to teachers,” said Microsoft president Brad Smith. The $23 million investment will go toward virtual and in-person training in New York City. “The direct connection between a teacher and their kids can never be replaced by new technologies, but if we learn how to use them, set practical guidelines and put teachers in the driver’s seat, teaching and learning can be better,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten. However, critics cite cheating concerns and Microsoft’s own research, which showed a self-reported reduction in critical thinking skills when AI was not used responsibly. AFT member Lois Weiner thinks teachers would be better served by more support within schools than by a partnership with Silicon Valley. “There is so much boredom in the job, but the answer to that is to improve teachers’ working conditions,” said Weiner, adding that AI does not achieve better work conditions for teachers. Smith argued education should be left to teachers: “Those of us in the tech field need to provide the tools and help school boards, districts, and teachers so they decide how to put those tools into practice.” 8. What do the underlined words “falls short” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is wrong. B. Has limitations. C. Is not enough. D. Fails to work. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Teachers are urged to listen to students. B. Microsoft will invest $23 million in NYC. C. Tech companies plan to train teachers. D. Three firms aim to promote AI in schools. 10. What can be inferred from Lois Weiner’s comments? A. AI can help reduce teachers’ boredom. B. Partnership with tech firms benefits teachers. C. Teachers are smarter than AI. D. Teachers need more support within schools. 11. What is Brad Smith’s attitude towards AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. D As a writing teacher, I am used to reading and responding to difficult texts. In fact, I like dealing with texts that have interesting ideas, because I understand their value. I have learned through my years of education that what eventually appeals to me is not just grammatically-perfect, smooth writing, but writing that forces me to think beyond the page. It is writing where the writer has challenged himself or herself and then offered that challenge to the reader. You will often come across critical thinking and analysis as requirements for tasks in writing and upper-level courses across different subjects. Instructors have different explanations of what they actually require from you, but, in general, they expect you to respond thoughtfully to the texts you read. The first thing you should remember is not to be afraid of critical thinking. It does not mean that you have to criticize the text, oppose its basic idea, or attack the writer simply because you feel you have to. Criticism is the process of responding to and judging ideas, arguments, and style so that readers understand how and why you value them. Critical thinking is also a process that is key to all subjects. While in this passage I refer mainly to critical thinking in writing, the general principles behind critical thinking are very similar in other fields. In history, for instance, it could mean examining and analyzing primary sources to understand the background in which they were written. In the hard sciences, it usually involves making judgments and decisions rationally (理性地), and solving problems. While critical thinking may be subject-specific, most of its general principles such as thinking rationally, making independent judgments, and having a healthy doubt about what is being read, are common to all subjects. No matter the area of study, using critical thinking skills leads to clear, flexible thinking and a better understanding of the subject at hand. 12. Why does the author prefer certain texts? A. They are error-free in grammar. B. They present exciting viewpoints. C. They make readers reflective. D. They read smoothly and easily. 13. What is critical thinking according to the author? A. Challenging the author’s viewpoint. B. Considering and assessing thoughts. C. Rejecting the text’s main argument. D. Finding fault with the writing. 14. How does the author explain that critical thinking matters across all subjects? A. By referring to different areas of study. B. By describing what it means in history. C.

We became friends right away — sharing lunch tables, laughing through boring classes, and walking home together every day. “You’re like the sister I never had,” Mia said one afternoon, smiling as we sat under our favorite big tree. I nodded, feeling happy. For a month, we told each other everything—dreams, worries. Life felt perfect. Problems came when my diary disappeared. I’d left it on my desk during gym class, and when I came back, it was gone. I was worried — my deepest secrets were inside. Later, I saw Mia talking quietly with Sarah, the girl who always gave me mean looks. Mia looked at me, then quickly looked away. “Did you see my diary?” I asked, my voice shaking. Mia’s eyes got big. “No, I … I haven’t seen it.” But her hands shook as she spoke. I felt a bad feeling in my stomach. Sarah smiled in a mean way, and I knew — Mia had taken it. I stayed away from Mia completely. At lunch, I sat alone, staring at my sandwich. When she tried to talk to me, I turned my back. “What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice breaking. “Just leave me alone,” I said angrily. Mia’s face looked sad, and she ran off. Days turned into weeks. I missed her laugh, her advice, the way she could always make me smile. But I was too proud to say sorry. One rainy afternoon, I saw Mia sitting under our big tree, tears mixing with raindrops. My chest hurt, but I walked past her. Something lucky happened when I stayed late to finish a project. As I walked past the library, I heard a voice I knew. “I can’t believe you took her diary!” It was Sarah, shouting at a boy named Jake. 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。 “I just wanted to see what she wrote about me,” Jake said quietly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I went to find Mia under our tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
