B At 14, I met Mrs. Korthaus, a 4-foot-10 English teacher at my rural Pennsylvania Catholic high school with an infectious, fearless spirit. Married nearly 40 and a latecomer to teaching, she moved to our industrial town for her husband’s job, where women had few career options. Before embarking on her teaching career, she had spent years working in corporate life, which made her financially independent. These extraordinary experiences shaped her remarkable life. And maybe mine. She gave me a judgment-free space to learn from youthful mistakes and discover my true potential. Beyond teaching me literature and journalism — skills that fueled my career as a writer — she modeled how to live a fulfilling, self-driven life, which was rare for a woman I’d known then. Growing up in a small town, I struggled to imagine a life beyond it, even fearing success despite good grades; I’d have stayed forever if I could. Mrs. Korthaus changed that. With sculpted cheekbones, straightforward speech and great enthusiasm, she celebrated students with Oprah-like joy, cheering, “YOU get an A!” We flocked to her for college recommendation letters, for she could help us see our own strengths. She opened a window to the world for us small-town kids through writing, literature and communications. Besides, she organized various after-school activities, showing us her passion for life. Famously standing on a chair to state her point, she’d thunder “The hu-MAN-uh-teez!”, wave her fist in the air like Braveheart. To her, the humanities revealed human dignity and the universal need to feel worthy, in oneself and others. She never demanded attention; her sheer joy of learning inspired it. She saw every student deeply, understanding that behavior reflects a child’s sense of being loved — a gift that made us thrive in her class and in life. More than 25 years after graduation, after building a writing career away and moving back, I still consider myself her student. It’s with her as my clear role model that I answered an unexpected life call forever shaped by her wisdom and spirit. 4. What did Mrs Korthaus provide for the author during high school? A. Various ways to improve grades. B. Financial support for a writing career. C. Guaranteed college admission recommendation. D. A safe environment for growth and self-discovery. 5. Why did Mrs. Korthaus thunder “The hu-MAN-uh-teez!”? A. To share her sheer joy of learning. B. To attract students’ attention in a funny way. C. To highlight her emphasis on the humanities. D. To show her gift for making students thrive in life. 6. Which could best describe Mrs. Korthaus? A. Traditional and devoted. B. Passionate and humorous. C. Empowering and nurturing. D. Inspiring and demanding. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recall her growth as a writer. B. To remember a life-changing teacher. C. To introduce a way of career planning. D. To explain the importance of humanities. C The United Nations estimates that some 40% of the world’s languages face extinction. Can artificial intelligence slow this trend? Global tech giants are optimistic, yet the reality is not that simple. Generative AI has made great progress in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but it has big shortcomings in understanding “low-resource languages” — native and regional dialects lacking valuable digital content. A Stanford report found most major large-language models (LLMs) perform poorly in non-English, especially resource-scarce dialect. This is a cultural loss and a technological blind spot, with the core issue being a lack of high-quality data. The most powerful LLMs need huge amounts of training material, mostly in English. This leads AI to unify culture and spread Anglo-centric views, a problem researchers have long complained about. AI’s multilingual weaknesses bring more than digital exclusion. Studies show low-resource languages can get past its safety guardrails. Inappropriate questions in Thai or Swahili failed to trigger AI’s safety mechanisms, unlike those in English or Chinese. Worse still, anyone can translate dangerous requests into such languages to exploit AI’s flaws, making this a global safety problem, not just a linguistic one. A push for independent AI has grown especially in linguistically diverse Asia to preserve cultural distinctions in AI tools: Singapore’s SEA-LION model covers over a dozen local languages, and Malaysia’s ILMU model recognizes regional cues. These efforts have revealed for an AI model to truly represent a group of people, even the smallest details in training material matter. True language preservation depends on community-led efforts, not just technology. Indonesian researchers tried to save the Orang Rimba language with Meta’s AI but faced limited datasets — only deeper community participation can solve this. New Zealand’s Te Hiku Media set a good example: working with Maori elders, it built a community-owned language database, not one controlled by big tech. This is the only sustainable way — without community involvement, AI will not save dying languages, but help bury them. 8. What is the major problem of AI in protecting dying languages? A. It makes little progress in breaking cultural barriers. B. It cannot create any digital content for native dialects. C. It lacks high-quality training data for low-resource languages. D. It erases cultural diversity and promotes Anglo-centric ideas. 9. What can we learn about AI’s safety guardrails from the text? A. They bring more than digital exclusion. B. They fail to protect English digital users. C. They work well in handling all linguistic requests. D. They can be bypassed by low-resource languages. 10. How does the author present Asia’s independent AI efforts? A. By giving examples. B. By quoting an expert. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Powerful Tool for Dying Language Preservation B. Independent AI in Asia: The Key to Solving Language Crisis C. Low-resource Languages: A Big Challenge to AI Development D. Dying Languages: AI’s limitations and the vital community role D You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works. To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority. Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular. Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind. While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again. 12. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disorder. B. Prejudice. C. Contrast. D. Debate. 13. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text? A. A false impression. B. A harmful behavior. C. An overestimated post. D. A minority of commenters. 14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why global web traffic misleads people. B. Why the minority feels like the majority. C. How we identify online harmful content. D. What harm online misconception causes. 15. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Acting like the loudest few. B. Improving moral standards. C. Avoiding online engagement. D. Valuing real-life interactions. 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。 Practical Rules of Gardening You may find nothing is worse than a garden that won’t grow.

He’s just sad since Grandma passed away,” Mum replied. We drove straight to Grandpa’s in an uncomfortable silence. After dropping me off at Grandpa’s apartment, Mum headed to her appointment, promising to come to pick me up soon. Spotting me, Grandpa motioned for me to sit. We glanced up at each other now and then but didn’t say anything. “Want to watch television?” he asked. I nodded. But nothing was on. Two minutes later, he turned the TV off. We sat there, Grandpa patting his legs restlessly, and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old, soft couch. Suddenly, I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides. “Chess?” I said, surprised. “Yeah, I used to play. Do you play?” Grandpa asked. “Never,” I answered. Grandpa fell quiet for a moment, staring at the window and still tapping his legs. Then he suggested that since we had time, he could teach me how to play. I agreed casually. Grandpa opened the box, a smell of wood polish rising from inside. He taught me about all the pieces and showed me how they moved: the king could move one square in any direction, and the game was won by trapping him; pawns (兵) moved straight forward; knights (马) moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces... I was amazed at how patient he was. We practiced a bunch of times. He just corrected me and had me try again. Finally, when he was satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces, he said we were ready to play for real. 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。 Our first game began and I played with full attention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥市第八中学2025-2026学年第二学期强化训练三 高三英语试卷 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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，每段话读两遍。 1.

Married nearly 40 and a latecomer to teaching, she moved to our industrial town for her husband’s job, where women had few career options. Before embarking on her teaching career, she had spent years working in corporate life, which made her financially independent. These extraordinary experiences shaped her remarkable life. And maybe mine. She gave me a judgment-free space to learn from youthful mistakes and discover my true potential. Beyond teaching me literature and journalism — skills that fueled my career as a writer — she modeled how to live a fulfilling, self-driven life, which was rare for a woman I’d known then. Growing up in a small town, I struggled to imagine a life beyond it, even fearing success despite good grades; I’d have stayed forever if I could. Mrs. Korthaus changed that. With sculpted cheekbones, straightforward speech and great enthusiasm, she celebrated students with Oprah-like joy, cheering, “YOU get an A!” We flocked to her for college recommendation letters, for she could help us see our own strengths. She opened a window to the world for us small-town kids through writing, literature and communications. Besides, she organized various after-school activities, showing us her passion for life. Famously standing on a chair to state her point, she’d thunder “The hu-MAN-uh-teez!”, wave her fist in the air like Braveheart. To her, the humanities revealed human dignity and the universal need to feel worthy, in oneself and others. She never demanded attention; her sheer joy of learning inspired it. She saw every student deeply, understanding that behavior reflects a child’s sense of being loved — a gift that made us thrive in her class and in life. More than 25 years after graduation, after building a writing career away and moving back, I still consider myself her student. It’s with her as my clear role model that I answered an unexpected life call forever shaped by her wisdom and spirit. 4. What did Mrs Korthaus provide for the author during high school? A. Various ways to improve grades. B. Financial support for a writing career. C. Guaranteed college admission recommendation. D. A safe environment for growth and self-discovery. 5. Why did Mrs. Korthaus thunder “The hu-MAN-uh-teez!”? A. To share her sheer joy of learning. B. To attract students’ attention in a funny way. C. To highlight her emphasis on the humanities. D. To show her gift for making students thrive in life. 6. Which could best describe Mrs. Korthaus? A. Traditional and devoted. B. Passionate and humorous. C. Empowering and nurturing. D. Inspiring and demanding. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recall her growth as a writer. B. To remember a life-changing teacher. C. To introduce a way of career planning. D. To explain the importance of humanities. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7.

(她给了我一个毫无评判的环境，让我能够从年轻时的错误中吸取教训，发掘自己的真正潜力。)”可知，Korthaus夫人给了作者一个有利于成长和自我探索的安全环境。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Famously standing on a chair to state her point, she’d thunder “The hu-MAN-uh-teez!”, wave her fist in the air like Braveheart. To her, the humanities revealed human dignity and the universal need to feel worthy, in oneself and others. (她常常站在椅子上大声阐述自己的观点，会怒吼道：“人文科学啊！”然后像《勇敢的心》中的角色那样在空中挥舞着拳头。对她而言，人文科学揭示了人类的尊严以及渴望感到有价值的普遍需求，无论是对自己还是对他人。)”可知，Korthaus夫人大声喊出这个词，是为了强调她对人文学科的重视。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Beyond teaching me literature and journalism — skills that fueled my career as a writer — she modeled how to live a fulfilling, self-driven life, which was rare for a woman I’d known then. (除了教我文学和新闻——推动我成为一名作家的技能——她还为我树立了如何过充实、自我驱动的生活的榜样，这在我当时认识的女性中是罕见的。)”和第四段中“She saw every student deeply, understanding that behavior reflects a child’s sense of being loved — a gift that made us thrive in her class and in life. (她能深入洞察每一个学生，深知行为表现反映了孩子内心所感受到的被爱的程度——这种天赋让我们在她的课堂上以及在人生中都得以茁壮成长。)”可知，Korthaus夫人教授学生技能，为他们树立人生榜样，关怀他们的成长，“赋能他人”且“悉心培育”最能体现她的特质。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“These extraordinary experiences shaped her remarkable life. And maybe mine. (这些非凡的经历塑造了她非凡的人生。或许也塑造了我的人生。)”和最后一段“More than 25 years after graduation, after building a writing career away and moving back, I still consider myself her student. It’s with her as my clear role model that I answered an unexpected life call forever shaped by her wisdom and spirit. (毕业25年后，在建立起自己的写作生涯并搬回来之后，我仍然认为自己是她的学生。正是将她作为我明确的榜样，我回应了一个意想不到的人生召唤，而这个召唤永远由她的智慧和精神塑造。)”可知，作者在文章中回忆了老师Korthaus夫人对自己学业、人生观和人生选择的深远影响，表达了对她的怀念和感恩。因此，其写作目的应该是怀念这位改变自己一生的老师。故选B项。 C The United Nations estimates that some 40% of the world’s languages face extinction. Can artificial intelligence slow this trend? Global tech giants are optimistic, yet the reality is not that simple. Generative AI has made great progress in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but it has big shortcomings in understanding “low-resource languages” — native and regional dialects lacking valuable digital content. A Stanford report found most major large-language models (LLMs) perform poorly in non-English, especially resource-scarce dialect. This is a cultural loss and a technological blind spot, with the core issue being a lack of high-quality data. The most powerful LLMs need huge amounts of training material, mostly in English. This leads AI to unify culture and spread Anglo-centric views, a problem researchers have long complained about. AI’s multilingual weaknesses bring more than digital exclusion. Studies show low-resource languages can get past its safety guardrails. Inappropriate questions in Thai or Swahili failed to trigger AI’s safety mechanisms, unlike those in English or Chinese. Worse still, anyone can translate dangerous requests into such languages to exploit AI’s flaws, making this a global safety problem, not just a linguistic one. A push for independent AI has grown especially in linguistically diverse Asia to preserve cultural distinctions in AI tools: Singapore’s SEA-LION model covers over a dozen local languages, and Malaysia’s ILMU model recognizes regional cues. These efforts have revealed for an AI model to truly represent a group of people, even the smallest details in training material matter. True language preservation depends on community-led efforts, not just technology. Indonesian researchers tried to save the Orang Rimba language with Meta’s AI but faced limited datasets — only deeper community participation can solve this. New Zealand’s Te Hiku Media set a good example: working with Maori elders, it built a community-owned language database, not one controlled by big tech. This is the only sustainable way — without community involvement, AI will not save dying languages, but help bury them. 8. What is the major problem of AI in protecting dying languages? A. It makes little progress in breaking cultural barriers. B. It cannot create any digital content for native dialects. C. It lacks high-quality training data for low-resource languages. D. It erases cultural diversity and promotes Anglo-centric ideas. 9. What can we learn about AI’s safety guardrails from the text? A. They bring more than digital exclusion. B. They fail to protect English digital users. C. They work well in handling all linguistic requests. D. They can be bypassed by low-resource languages. 10. How does the author present Asia’s independent AI efforts? A. By giving examples. B. By quoting an expert. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI: A Powerful Tool for Dying Language Preservation B. Independent AI in Asia: The Key to Solving Language Crisis C. Low-resource Languages: A Big Challenge to AI Development D. Dying Languages: AI’s limitations and the vital community role 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了全球近半数语言濒临消失，AI 因稀缺语种数据不足存在诸多短板与安全隐患，亚洲自研模型作出尝试，而语言保护更离不开本土社区的主导参与。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This is a cultural loss and a technological blind spot, with the core issue being a lack of high-quality data.(这是一种文化上的缺失，也是技术上的盲点，其核心问题在于缺乏高质量的数据)”可知，人工智能在保护濒危语言方面的主要问题是它缺乏针对低资源语言的高质量训练数据。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Studies show low-resource languages can get past its safety guardrails.(研究表明，资源匮乏的语言能够突破其安全防护措施)”可知，人工智能安全防护措施可能会被低资源语言所绕过。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A push for independent AI has grown especially in linguistically diverse Asia to preserve cultural distinctions in AI tools: Singapore’s SEA-LION model covers over a dozen local languages, and Malaysia’s ILMU model recognizes regional cues. These efforts have revealed for an AI model to truly represent a group of people, even the smallest details in training material matter.(在语言多样的亚洲地区，推动建立独立自主的人工智能的努力愈发显著，目的是为了在人工智能工具中保留文化差异：新加坡的“SEA-LION”模型涵盖了十几种当地语言，而马来西亚的“ILMU”模型则能识别地域特征。这些努力表明，要使一个人工智能模型真正代表某一人群，训练材料中的哪怕是最细微的细节也至关重要)”可知，作者通过举例说明展现亚洲在人工智能方面的独立努力。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The United Nations estimates that some 40% of the world’s languages face extinction. Can artificial intelligence slow this trend? Global tech giants are optimistic, yet the reality is not that simple. Generative AI has made great progress in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but it has big shortcomings in understanding “low-resource languages” — native and regional dialects lacking valuable digital content.(联合国估算，全球约40%的语言面临消亡危机。人工智能能否延缓这一趋势？全球科技巨头持乐观态度，但现实并非如此简单。生成式人工智能在打破语言与文化壁垒方面成果显著，却难以吃透低资源语言，即缺乏有效数字内容的本土语言与地方方言)”结合文章说明了全球近半数语言濒临消失，AI 因稀缺语种数据不足存在诸多短板与安全隐患，亚洲自研模型作出尝试，而语言保护更离不开本土社区的主导参与。可知，D选项“消亡的语言：人工智能的局限性及至关重要的社区作用”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works. To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority. Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular. Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind. While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again. 12. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disorder. B. Prejudice. C. Contrast. D. Debate. 13. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text? A. A false impression. B. A harmful behavior. C. An overestimated post. D. A minority of commenters. 14. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why global web traffic misleads people. B. Why the minority feels like the majority. C. How we identify online harmful content. D. What harm online misconception causes. 15. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Acting like the loudest few. B. Improving moral standards. C. Avoiding online engagement. D. Valuing real-life interactions. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络世界与现实世界之间的差异，指出人们往往高估网络上的有害行为，并分析了造成这种认知偏差的原因及其影响，最后提出了缩小这一差距的建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. (你上网一小时后，感觉世界要崩溃了。然而，在现实世界中，一个与你政治观点不同的邻居却帮你发动了汽车。这种dissonance并非偶然)”可知，前一句描述了网络世界带来的负面感受，后一句则通过现实中的例子展示了与网络世界截然不同的积极体验，两者形成对比。由此可推测，划线词dissonance指的是这种“对比”，与C项“Contrast”意思相近。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority.(大多数冒犯性帖子来自一小群高度活跃的用户，他们过度的帖子塑造了公众的信念，制造了一种“多数错觉”，使这一少数群体看起来像是常态，淹没了沉默的大多数)”可知，少数高度活跃的用户通过发布大量帖子，使公众误以为他们的行为是大多数人的行为，从而形成了一种“错误的印象”。由此可推测，“majority illusion”指的是“错误的印象”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular.(我们的大脑天生就会注意到威胁和道德上的缺陷——负面内容会留在我们的记忆中。此外，社交媒体算法会优先考虑能引起强烈反应的内容，以保持用户的参与度，而虚假信息的传播速度比真实信息更快。僵尸网络增加了噪音：据报道，恶意机器人约占全球网络流量的三分之一，误导了哪些趋势和谁看起来受欢迎)”可知，本段主要分析了为什么少数高度活跃的用户会感觉像多数，即解释了“多数错觉”产生的原因。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again.(关键在于认识到网络参与并不等于认可：跳过“最吸引人”的动态，将我们的观点建立在现实世界的联系上。想象一个广场，在那里，声音最大的几个人不会抢走麦克风——分歧依然存在，但空气中回荡着日常生活：邻居帮忙发动汽车，陌生人为你开门。在网上，我们可以让这种现实再次可见)”可知，作者建议人们应该重视现实生活中的互动，而不是仅仅关注网络上的动态。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Practical Rules of Gardening You may find nothing is worse than a garden that won’t grow.

Check out these tips if you’re sick of a problematic garden and want to see your efforts pay off. You should make a maintenance schedule. Plants appreciate loving care and will reward you for your providing it. On the contrary, ignoring garden maintenance can do lasting damage to them. You should first familiarize yourself with the needs of your plants. ____17____ You must visit your garden frequently. If you ask experienced gardeners for advice, they will often say, “____18____” It means that the gardeners who spend a lot of time in their gardens notice problems while they are still small and manageable. Regular monitoring is an effective way to detect destructive insects and diseases before they get out of control, and what could be nicer than a daily walk through your own little wonderland? ____19____ Most garden plants prefer a constant amount of soil moisture (水分). To make the job easy, set up a simple irrigation system and put it on a timer. The watering will take care of itself, and your plants won’t have to survive on the changeability of the weather. It’s best to group plants with similar maintenance needs. People tend to be with others like themselves, as we all know. ____20____ Plants that need good drainage (排水) should be planted together. They should not be mixed in with plants that need very wet soil. Keep this in mind: Group them by their growth and care needs. A. And it’s true for plants, too. B. Keeping the water flowing is crucial. C. It might be poor soil, or disturbing insects. D. Plants need healthy soil and natural watering. E. But you can turn things around with right actions. F.

He’s just sad since Grandma passed away,” Mum replied. We drove straight to Grandpa’s in an uncomfortable silence. After dropping me off at Grandpa’s apartment, Mum headed to her appointment, promising to come to pick me up soon. Spotting me, Grandpa motioned for me to sit. We glanced up at each other now and then but didn’t say anything. “Want to watch television?” he asked. I nodded. But nothing was on. Two minutes later, he turned the TV off. We sat there, Grandpa patting his legs restlessly, and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old, soft couch. Suddenly, I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides. “Chess?” I said, surprised. “Yeah, I used to play. Do you play?” Grandpa asked. “Never,” I answered. Grandpa fell quiet for a moment, staring at the window and still tapping his legs. Then he suggested that since we had time, he could teach me how to play. I agreed casually. Grandpa opened the box, a smell of wood polish rising from inside. He taught me about all the pieces and showed me how they moved: the king could move one square in any direction, and the game was won by trapping him; pawns (兵) moved straight forward; knights (马) moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces... I was amazed at how patient he was. We practiced a bunch of times. He just corrected me and had me try again. Finally, when he was satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces, he said we were ready to play for real. 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。 Our first game began and I played with full attention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Our first game began and I played with full attention. I carefully moved each piece, recalling Grandpa’s instructions, and even tried to trap his king. Grandpa smiled gently, sometimes nodding in approval when I made a good move. When I accidentally moved a pawn wrong, he didn’t blame me but pointed it out softly and guided me to correct it. The room was no longer silent — we chatted quietly about the game, and I even heard Grandpa laugh for the first time that afternoon. I forgot my initial unwillingness and got totally absorbed in the chessboard. We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. She stood at the door, smiling in surprise as she saw us leaning over the chessboard, talking and laughing. “I see you two have made friends,” she said. Grandpa looked at me warmly and patted my shoulder: “This kid is a quick learner.” I grinned, feeling a warm connection with him. As we left, I told Grandpa I would come back to play chess with him again. For the first time, I realized that Grandpa wasn’t unfriendly — he just needed someone to share his time with, and that someone could be me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了起初作者不情愿独自陪伴因奶奶离世而消沉的爷爷，二人相处气氛沉默。偶然发现木棋盒后，爷爷耐心教作者下国际象棋。对弈过程中，爷爷温和耐心，作者们轻声交谈、有说有笑，隔阂渐渐消散。妈妈来接作者时，作者已然放下抵触，读懂了爷爷的孤单，并约定日后再来陪他下棋。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们的第一场比赛开始了，我全神贯注地投入其中。”可知，第一段可描写爷爷耐心教作者下国际象棋。对弈过程中，爷爷温和耐心，作者们轻声交谈、有说有笑，隔阂渐渐消散。 ②由第二段首句内容“当妈妈回来时，我们正玩得非常开心。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈来接作者时，作者已然放下抵触，读懂了爷爷的孤单，并约定日后再来陪他下棋。 2.续写线索：比赛开始——爷爷耐心——隔阂消除——妈妈来接作者——作者理解了爷爷的孤单 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①指导：guide/instruct ②想起：recall/remember ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①不愿意：unwillingness/reluctance ②不友好：unfriendly/unapproachable 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I accidentally moved a pawn wrong, he didn’t blame me but pointed it out softly and guided me to correct it.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] For the first time, I realized that Grandpa wasn’t unfriendly — he just needed someone to share his time with, and that someone could be me.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
