Whether you’re having new purchases delivered to your dormitory, or searching for some place out of campus to store your things, BoxIt is always here to help. We store suitcases, cycles, sacks and stacks of other stuff in our secure sites. If you need packing materials, tell us and we’ll send them to you. You can upload photos of the things in each box to your own BoxIt account to remind yourself what is where, and then download our app to monitor your belongings as they move. When you’re ready, book the delivery of your boxes online. Just let us know what you need to be stored and we’ll send one of our staff to pick your things up, but remember that if the address we are delivering your boxes to is farther than 25 miles from where we picked them up, there is an additional charge. Collections are free from Monday to Friday if we collect between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Don’t leave any empty space in your box — this makes your box weaker and may damage the things inside, and not filling the box also means you need more boxes so it costs you more. And don’t put too much into your box — keep it under 25 kilos in weight. If you pack the following items in your boxes, we can’t be responsible for any damage to your things when we’re moving them: ·Knives and sharp objects ·Musical instruments in soft cases ·Food ·Antiques ·Pets or any other living creatures ·Mirrors or large glass items Make sure the driver can easily get into your place and that you are at your address for the full duration of the collection time. 21.

Its delivery supports remote tracking. C. Its service is intended for university staff. D. It can collect items in the absence of the owner. B I had no idea it was possible to sweat so heavily without engaging in any physical activity. I wasn’t standing at the open door of a plane thousands of feet in the air, ready to jump out into the wild, blue sky. Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer. I had signed up for an online language lesson with a Portuguese language tutor. For the past few months, I had been studying the language and I knew video chat was the next best option. As I clicked the button, a friendly face popped up on the screen in front of me. At that moment, my mind froze. Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken. As I’ve progressed along on my language journey, I often think back to her insight. She is right. We take as a given the power to express ourselves freely, and when that power is taken away, we are brought to a place of weakness. Yet if we keep pushing forward despite this weakness, we will unlock a wealth of valuable gains. My three-year-old son has big feelings but has insufficient vocabulary to properly express himself. When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now. When my husband and I finally visited Portugal and ordered food in Portuguese at a small shop, the server thanked us for taking time to learn their language. Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves. Taking on the challenge of Portuguese has also awakened a fire within me. If you had told me a year ago that I would be taking a writing course, competing in competitions at my gym, or learning about car maintenance, I truly wouldn’t have believed it. Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it. 24. What was the author doing in Paragraph 1? A. Working out at home. B. Taking an entrance exam. C. Preparing herself for a class. D. Signing up for a language club. 25. Hearing the tutor’s words, the author felt ________. A. shocked B. defensive C. concerned D. relieved 26. After learning Portuguese, the author ________. A. showed competitive advantages B. started to try Portuguese cuisine C. developed a passion for travelling D. became an understanding mother 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is never too late to learn something new. B. Taking on challenges may bring perfection. C. Leaving the comfort zone offers new visions of life. D. Language learning helps clear up misunderstandings. C Two summers ago, in the blue waters off the coast of a small Caribbean island; a sperm whale named Rounder began to give birth. Eleven members of her family slowly gathered around to support her, coming from miles away in their home waters. They called to one another in Morse code-like clicks as they waited for the baby to arrive and in the hours that followed, when they held the baby above water so that she could breathe. Scientists are developing innovations in recording and analyzing their communications that could someday make it possible to understand at least some of what whales say to each other in this extraordinary moment. David Gruber, president of Project CTI — Cetacean (鲸类) Translation Initiative, has gathered dozens of linguists, biologists, roboticists, and experts in artificial intelligence to document the lives and communications of sperm whales. Gruber’s team is working to develop a translation tool, which would transform sperm whale sounds into human words. One result of the research might be a world in which humans “undeniably understand” these creatures’ experience from their own perspectives, and this might breathe new life into whale conservation. Consider, for instance, the problem of ocean noise pollution. Massive marine mammals such as sperm whales depend on highly-specialized echolocation systems to search for food and navigate the vast, lightless zones of the ocean and their highly-developed cerebral neural systems support near-constant communication with companions in their social groups. Thus, sound constitutes an irreplaceable and life-sustaining sensory core for them. Growing human noise — oil and gas exploration, construction, and most of all, ship engine noise — is a clear harm, disturbing the basic activities of sperm whale life. While the evidence of harm is obvious, current laws are far from functional. Existing regulations (法规) provide a legal framework for preventing harm, but noise-related harm is mostly ignored. This is exactly where the breakthrough lies. What if whales were documented not only struggling to make themselves heard above the noise, but actually talking about it? Were a sperm whale heard voicing the pain caused by ship engine noise, its words would likely carry more weight in a court of law than do human descriptions of the problem. Being able to present the whales’ own statement, so to speak, might lead to action being taken. The pursuit to find and translate complex animal communication should not reduce the worth of creatures who don’t appear to have those capacities. We may simply fail to appreciate their intelligence; and the lack of rich communication does not make any life less special. But it would still be incredible, and perhaps transformative, to know what sperm whales say — and this could be seen as an entry point, a beginning rather than a destination, on the journey to appreciating all creatures. 28. What is the main goal of Project CTI? A. To promote cetacean interactions. B. To build a bridge to sperm whales’ thoughts. C. To call for regulations to protect sperm whales. D. To secure a safer habitat for endangered whales. 29. The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph 4 to ________. A. express a doubt B. defend a viewpoint C. question an assumption D. introduce a possibility 30. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Research on animals should be conducted with care. B. Understanding whales is a start to unlock their potential. C. Whales’ own accounts may help reduce harm from humans. D. The lack of noise-related laws is due to common misconceptions. D A few years ago, I wrote a piece in which I declared that biography, if not quite dead, was in very poor condition. I was concerned that for far too long, it had been criticized that biographies were poorly written and just listed facts from birth to death. I even hesitated before telling people I was a biographer: it felt tantamount to admitting that I was a journalist incapable of original thought. But it turns out to be otherwise. It was more that I hadn’t been looking for it hard enough or in quite the right places. Last weekend, the University of East Anglia hosted a conference at which the masters of biography took its pulse and gave the encouraging conclusion. What has happened, these experts explained, is that biography has changed its shape. This shift has come from a growing sense that biography as it used to be done was not getting us close to the experience it was trying to describe. We all know that life isn’t actually comprised of a stately march through the decades in which loose ends, false trails and those periods where nothing much happens are tidied away out of sight. Mostly our lives feel shapeless, coming into focus only when a particular occasion makes us feel, for a few minutes at least, fully ourselves. To better reveal the authentic, unscripted nature of a life, one new approach to biography employs the presenting of something small to tell a bigger story. Frances Wilson demonstrated how effective this can be in How to Survive the Titanic. She focuses on the moment when J Bruce Ismay, the ship’s owner, jumped into a lifeboat meant for women and children, vividly charting a story about one man’s lost honour. Another approach is to organise your story around objects that carried a particular emotional charge for the person you are writing about. In The Real Jane Austen, for instance, biographer Paula Byrne pulls out an East Indian shawl (披肩) and a carringe that figured in both Austen’s personal experience and her fiction, and tells a new story around them. Other biographers have realised that their subject’s non-eventful schooling or the long holidays by the sea can be cut down to a few short paragraphs so they can spend more time on the bits that matter. These new ways of telling lives are not entirely driven by intellectual concerns. The pressures are commercial, too. People also have shorter attention spans, which means that those doorstop biographies of 400 pages can start to seem like an approaching threat rather than a delicious promise. But more and more interesting books are being published which deal with the lives of others. They may not announce themselves as “biographies”, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t. 31. What does the word “tantamount” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Superior. B. Similar. C. Unusual. D. Obvious. 32. Why does the author share his ideas on life in Paragraph 2? A. To assess its significance to biography. B. To justify the emerging trend in biography. C. To emphasize the value of modern biography. D. To argue for the authenticity of conventional biography. 33. As for the new approaches, the author would agree that ________. A. they could be more engaging B. they involve subjective descriptions C. they might be easier for writers to handle D. they help commercialize the publishing industry 34. What is the passage mainly about? A. What biography is all about. B. Whether biography should mirror life. C. Why biography is anything but in decline. D. Who defines the literary status of biography. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture a table surrounded by curious minds, each desiring to uncover the mysteries of the universe, as they start a journey of intellectual exploration through the art of challenging questions. The scene summarizes the essence of intellectual questions. ____35____ They’re the kind of questions that make you frown, scratch your head, and maybe even lose a little sleep. ____36____ For instance, as AI systems become increasingly complex, we’re forced to deal with some pretty mind-bending questions, like “Will AI ever achieve true consciousness?” or “Could it one day surpass human intelligence?” Environmental sustainability presents another set of urgent scientific questions: “How can we balance economic growth with environmental protection? Could we engineer our way out of a climate disaster?” Similarly, space exploration has fascinated humans for centuries. ____37____ We may wonder: “Could we one day settle on other planets?” You might be wondering: “Why bother with all these heavy questions? Can’t we just enjoy a nice, light conversation about the weather?” Well, sure, we could. But where’s the fun in that? Asking intellectual questions isn’t just a way to sound smart at dinner parties. When we engage with intellectual questions, we’re developing critical thinking skills, enhancing our ability to analyze complex issues, and broadening our understanding of the world. ____38____ And the benefits go beyond personal development. Engaging in intellectual questions can promote understanding. When we struggle with difficult questions together, we learn to appreciate different viewpoints, to challenge our own assumptions, and to find common ground even in disagreement. ____39____ Didn’t many of the world’s greatest discoveries and inventions start with someone asking “What if?” or “Why not?” So next time you find yourself in a conversation, don’t be afraid to dig a little deeper, to ask the big questions, and to challenge assumptions. Your brain and the world will thank you for it. A. Intellectual questions arise accordingly. B. It’s like going to the gym, but for your brain. C. Intellectual questions are not just surface-level inquiries. D. Moreover, raising big questions drives innovation and progress. E. In a world full of challenges, they are more important than ever. F. As we explore further, the questions touch on the very fabric of our society. G. The questions that unlock deep insights and meaningful connections lie in every corner. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Last month, I visited a well-known art museum in the city with my wife. As we stood before a priceless impressionist painting, I noticed something strange: nearly every teenager around us was not looking at the paintings. Their arms extended, and their eyes were fixed on the small screens of their cellphones. They were taking photos — dozens of them — framing the artwork and adjusting angles, all without pausing to actually see the painting itself. This scene made me wonder: have we, as a generation, lost the ability to experience life directly? It seems that for many of us, an event is not real unless it is documented and shared on social media. We don’t just go to a concert; we capture it to post online. We don’t just watch a sunset; we film it for the social media platform. I used to be one of those people. Last summer, I went to a music festival and spent the entire night holding my phone above my head, trying to record every song. When I got home, I was exhausted — and disappointed. My videos were shaky, the audio was terrible, and I couldn’t remember a single note I had “watched” live. Worse, I had missed the chance to dance with my friends or feel the music in my bones. That night, I realized I had prioritized sharing the moment over living it. So, I have made a promise to myself: to put my phone down more often and be fully present in those times that make life meaningful. We need to look at the painting instead of photographing it, and dance to the music instead of recording it. Why let our phone cameras become a barrier between us and the world? After all, the best memories are not the ones we capture on camera — they are the ones we capture in our hearts. 40. What were the teenagers busy doing in the museum? _______________________________________________________ 41. What did the author realize after the music festival? _______________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. For the best memories, the author has decided to keep records of the meaningful moments. _______________________________________________________ 43. Do you agree that the cellphone camera has become a barrier between us and the world? Why or why not? (In about 40 words) _______________________________________________________ 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的外国好友Jim正在策划一次班级研学活动，就活动的主题来信征求你的建议。请你用英文给他回信，内容包括： 1. 你的建议； 2. 建议的理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北京市东城区2025—2026学年度第二学期高三综合练习（二） 英语 本试卷共11页，共100分。考试时长90分钟。考生务必在答题卡指定区域作答，在试卷上作答无效。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 知识运用（共两节，30分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In high school, I was the girl with the overstuffed backpack, which was filled with items I thought I might need but never ___1___ used: extra notebooks, a pack of markers, a first-aid kit, water bottles, and even a change of clothes.

I wasn’t standing at the open door of a plane thousands of feet in the air, ready to jump out into the wild, blue sky. Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer. I had signed up for an online language lesson with a Portuguese language tutor. For the past few months, I had been studying the language and I knew video chat was the next best option. As I clicked the button, a friendly face popped up on the screen in front of me. At that moment, my mind froze. Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken. As I’ve progressed along on my language journey, I often think back to her insight. She is right. We take as a given the power to express ourselves freely, and when that power is taken away, we are brought to a place of weakness. Yet if we keep pushing forward despite this weakness, we will unlock a wealth of valuable gains. My three-year-old son has big feelings but has insufficient vocabulary to properly express himself. When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now. When my husband and I finally visited Portugal and ordered food in Portuguese at a small shop, the server thanked us for taking time to learn their language. Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves. Taking on the challenge of Portuguese has also awakened a fire within me. If you had told me a year ago that I would be taking a writing course, competing in competitions at my gym, or learning about car maintenance, I truly wouldn’t have believed it. Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it. 24. What was the author doing in Paragraph 1? A. Working out at home. B. Taking an entrance exam. C. Preparing herself for a class. D. Signing up for a language club. 25. Hearing the tutor’s words, the author felt ________. A. shocked B. defensive C. concerned D. relieved 26. After learning Portuguese, the author ________. A. showed competitive advantages B. started to try Portuguese cuisine C. developed a passion for travelling D. became an understanding mother 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is never too late to learn something new. B. Taking on challenges may bring perfection. C. Leaving the comfort zone offers new visions of life. D. Language learning helps clear up misunderstandings. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了作者初次线上上葡萄牙语课时十分紧张，在老师开导下逐渐释怀；随后讲述学习葡萄牙语让自己更理解年幼的儿子、懂得尊重他国文化，勇于接受各类新挑战，感悟到走出舒适区、挑战自我会收获意想不到的人生价值。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer.(相反，我只是穿着最舒服的衣服坐在床上，等着点击电脑上的“进入教室”按钮。)” 可知，作者当时正在为线上课程做准备。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken.(察觉到我的紧张，老师说了一句我至今记忆犹新的话：“学习一门新语言就像向全世界展露自己的弱点，这难免会让人不自在。” 尴尬的氛围就此彻底消散。)” 可知，听完老师的话后作者内心释怀、放松下来。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now.(当我开始学习葡萄牙语时，我体会到儿子在成人世界里难以被理解的难处，如今我成了更善解人意的母亲。)” 可知，学习葡萄牙语后，作者变成了一位更懂得体谅孩子的母亲。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves.(学习葡萄牙语让我明白：主动去学习他人的语言，不仅是对他们祖国的尊重，更是对当地人民本身的尊重。)”及最后一段“Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it.(如今我深信，挑战自我所带来的收获，只有亲身尝试才能体会，其价值难以预知。)” 可知，走出舒适区、勇于挑战自我，会带给人全新的人生眼界与收获。 C Two summers ago, in the blue waters off the coast of a small Caribbean island; a sperm whale named Rounder began to give birth. Eleven members of her family slowly gathered around to support her, coming from miles away in their home waters. They called to one another in Morse code-like clicks as they waited for the baby to arrive and in the hours that followed, when they held the baby above water so that she could breathe. Scientists are developing innovations in recording and analyzing their communications that could someday make it possible to understand at least some of what whales say to each other in this extraordinary moment. David Gruber, president of Project CTI — Cetacean (鲸类) Translation Initiative, has gathered dozens of linguists, biologists, roboticists, and experts in artificial intelligence to document the lives and communications of sperm whales. Gruber’s team is working to develop a translation tool, which would transform sperm whale sounds into human words. One result of the research might be a world in which humans “undeniably understand” these creatures’ experience from their own perspectives, and this might breathe new life into whale conservation. Consider, for instance, the problem of ocean noise pollution. Massive marine mammals such as sperm whales depend on highly-specialized echolocation systems to search for food and navigate the vast, lightless zones of the ocean and their highly-developed cerebral neural systems support near-constant communication with companions in their social groups. Thus, sound constitutes an irreplaceable and life-sustaining sensory core for them. Growing human noise — oil and gas exploration, construction, and most of all, ship engine noise — is a clear harm, disturbing the basic activities of sperm whale life. While the evidence of harm is obvious, current laws are far from functional. Existing regulations (法规) provide a legal framework for preventing harm, but noise-related harm is mostly ignored. This is exactly where the breakthrough lies. What if whales were documented not only struggling to make themselves heard above the noise, but actually talking about it? Were a sperm whale heard voicing the pain caused by ship engine noise, its words would likely carry more weight in a court of law than do human descriptions of the problem. Being able to present the whales’ own statement, so to speak, might lead to action being taken. The pursuit to find and translate complex animal communication should not reduce the worth of creatures who don’t appear to have those capacities. We may simply fail to appreciate their intelligence; and the lack of rich communication does not make any life less special. But it would still be incredible, and perhaps transformative, to know what sperm whales say — and this could be seen as an entry point, a beginning rather than a destination, on the journey to appreciating all creatures. 28. What is the main goal of Project CTI? A. To promote cetacean interactions. B. To build a bridge to sperm whales’ thoughts. C. To call for regulations to protect sperm whales. D. To secure a safer habitat for endangered whales. 29. The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph 4 to ________. A. express a doubt B. defend a viewpoint C. question an assumption D. introduce a possibility 30. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Research on animals should be conducted with care. B. Understanding whales is a start to unlock their potential. C. Whales’ own accounts may help reduce harm from humans. D. The lack of noise-related laws is due to common misconceptions. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了CTI 项目的详细信息。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“David Gruber, president of Project CTI — Cetacean (鲸类) Translation Initiative, has gathered dozens of linguists, biologists, roboticists, and experts in artificial intelligence to document the lives and communications of sperm whales. Gruber’s team is working to develop a translation tool, which would transform sperm whale sounds into human words. One result of the research might be a world in which humans “undeniably understand” these creatures’ experience from their own perspectives, and this might breathe new life into whale conservation.(鲸类翻译倡议（CTI 项目）负责人戴维・格鲁伯集结了数十名语言学家、生物学家、机器人技术专家以及人工智能领域专家，致力于记录抹香鲸的生活习性与交流方式。格鲁伯的团队正研发一款翻译工具，旨在将抹香鲸的声音转化为人类语言。这项研究有望让人类真正从抹香鲸自身的视角理解它们的生存状态，也或将为鲸鱼保护事业注入新的活力。)”可知，CTI项目的主要目标是搭建通往抹香鲸思想想法的桥梁。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文“While the evidence of harm is obvious, current laws are far from functional. Existing regulations (法规) provide a legal framework for preventing harm, but noise-related harm is mostly ignored. This is exactly where the breakthrough lies.(尽管危害的证据显而易见，但现行法律远远起不到实际作用。现有法规虽搭建了防范危害的法律框架，却基本忽视了噪音造成的危害。而这恰恰是可以取得突破的关键所在。)”可知，上文说现有法规忽视海洋噪音伤害；接着提出假设：如果我们记录到鲸鱼不只是费力发声，还能主动诉说噪音带来的困扰会怎样？由此可知，第四段划线句子的作用是引出一种可能性（假设情景，引出“读懂鲸类心声或将推动法律和保护行动”这一可能）。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Were a sperm whale heard voicing the pain caused by ship engine noise, its words would likely carry more weight in a court of law than do human descriptions of the problem. Being able to present the whales’ own statement, so to speak, might lead to action being taken.(倘若能听到抹香鲸亲口诉说船舶引擎噪音带来的痛苦，那么它的心声在法庭上的分量，很可能远超人类对这一问题的书面描述。可以说，若是能呈现鲸鱼自身的诉求，或许就能推动相关整治行动落地。)”可知，从文章中可以得出鲸鱼自身的心声表述或许有助于减少人类带来的伤害这一结论。 D A few years ago, I wrote a piece in which I declared that biography, if not quite dead, was in very poor condition. I was concerned that for far too long, it had been criticized that biographies were poorly written and just listed facts from birth to death. I even hesitated before telling people I was a biographer: it felt tantamount to admitting that I was a journalist incapable of original thought. But it turns out to be otherwise. It was more that I hadn’t been looking for it hard enough or in quite the right places. Last weekend, the University of East Anglia hosted a conference at which the masters of biography took its pulse and gave the encouraging conclusion. What has happened, these experts explained, is that biography has changed its shape. This shift has come from a growing sense that biography as it used to be done was not getting us close to the experience it was trying to describe. We all know that life isn’t actually comprised of a stately march through the decades in which loose ends, false trails and those periods where nothing much happens are tidied away out of sight. Mostly our lives feel shapeless, coming into focus only when a particular occasion makes us feel, for a few minutes at least, fully ourselves. To better reveal the authentic, unscripted nature of a life, one new approach to biography employs the presenting of something small to tell a bigger story. Frances Wilson demonstrated how effective this can be in How to Survive the Titanic. She focuses on the moment when J Bruce Ismay, the ship’s owner, jumped into a lifeboat meant for women and children, vividly charting a story about one man’s lost honour. Another approach is to organise your story around objects that carried a particular emotional charge for the person you are writing about. In The Real Jane Austen, for instance, biographer Paula Byrne pulls out an East Indian shawl (披肩) and a carringe that figured in both Austen’s personal experience and her fiction, and tells a new story around them. Other biographers have realised that their subject’s non-eventful schooling or the long holidays by the sea can be cut down to a few short paragraphs so they can spend more time on the bits that matter. These new ways of telling lives are not entirely driven by intellectual concerns. The pressures are commercial, too. People also have shorter attention spans, which means that those doorstop biographies of 400 pages can start to seem like an approaching threat rather than a delicious promise. But more and more interesting books are being published which deal with the lives of others. They may not announce themselves as “biographies”, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t. 31. What does the word “tantamount” underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Superior. B. Similar. C. Unusual. D. Obvious. 32. Why does the author share his ideas on life in Paragraph 2? A. To assess its significance to biography. B. To justify the emerging trend in biography. C. To emphasize the value of modern biography. D. To argue for the authenticity of conventional biography. 33. As for the new approaches, the author would agree that ________. A. they could be more engaging B. they involve subjective descriptions C. they might be easier for writers to handle D. they help commercialize the publishing industry 34. What is the passage mainly about? A. What biography is all about. B. Whether biography should mirror life. C. Why biography is anything but in decline. D. Who defines the literary status of biography. 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. A 34. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了传记非但没有衰落，反而以全新形式焕发活力。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“I was concerned that for far too long, it had been criticized that biographies were poorly written and just listed facts from birth to death. (我一直忧心的是，长期以来，传记饱受诟病：文笔粗糙乏味，仅仅是把人物从出生到离世的生平事实罗列堆砌而已。)”可知，过去传记饱受批评，文笔差、只会罗列事实。作者身为传记作家，觉得这份职业等同于没有独立思想的记者，是不光彩的。由此可知，tantamount意为“等同的；相当的”，与similar（相似的）含义接近。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This shift has come from a growing sense that biography as it used to be done was not getting us close to the experience it was trying to describe. We all know that life isn’t actually comprised of a stately march through the decades in which loose ends, false trails and those periods where nothing much happens are tidied away out of sight. Mostly our lives feel shapeless, coming into focus only when a particular occasion makes us feel, for a few minutes at least, fully ourselves.(这种转变源于一种日渐强烈的共识：传统的传记写作方式，无法让我们真正贴近它想要描摹的人生本真体验。我们都清楚，人生本就不是按部就班、庄重有序地走过数十年岁月；那些未了的心事、走岔的弯路，还有那些平淡无奇、乏善可陈的时光，本就不该被刻意修饰、隐匿抹去。大多数时候，我们的人生本就毫无章法、随性散漫，唯有在某些特定时刻，我们才能在短短片刻里，寻回完整的自我、看清本心。)”可知，第二段作者提出观点：真实的人生并不是规整有序的，而是杂乱无章、充满琐碎空白、没有条理的。传统传记强行美化、规整人生，脱离现实。作者阐述对人生的理解，是为了解释传记转型的原因，为新型传记写法提供合理性依据。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“People also have shorter attention spans, which means that those doorstop biographies of 400 pages can start to seem like an approaching threat rather than a delicious promise. But more and more interesting books are being published which deal with the lives of others.”（现在人们的注意力持续时间更短，这意味着那些厚达数百页的传统长篇传记开始更像一种负担，而非吸引人的阅读享受。但是采用新方法的传记越来越多有趣的作品被出版）可知，现代人注意力变短，厚重的传统传记让人望而却步，而采用新手法的传记作品越来越有趣。由此可推知，作者认为新手法更吸引人。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A few years ago, I wrote a piece in which I declared that biography, if not quite dead, was in very poor condition.(几年前，我曾写过一篇文章，在文中我直言：传记文学就算没有彻底消亡，也早已江河日下、处境堪忧。)”和第二段“But it turns out to be otherwise. It was more that I hadn’t been looking for it hard enough or in quite the right places. Last weekend, the University of East Anglia hosted a conference at which the masters of biography took its pulse and gave the encouraging conclusion.(但事实却并非如此。更多是我当初寻找得不够用心，或是找错了方向。上周末，东英吉利大学举办了一场研讨会，传记文学界的名家齐聚于此，研判行业现状，并给出了令人振奋的结论。)”和全文内容可知，全文围绕传记没有衰落、反而焕新展开。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture a table surrounded by curious minds, each desiring to uncover the mysteries of the universe, as they start a journey of intellectual exploration through the art of challenging questions. The scene summarizes the essence of intellectual questions. ____35____ They’re the kind of questions that make you frown, scratch your head, and maybe even lose a little sleep. ____36____ For instance, as AI systems become increasingly complex, we’re forced to deal with some pretty mind-bending questions, like “Will AI ever achieve true consciousness?” or “Could it one day surpass human intelligence?” Environmental sustainability presents another set of urgent scientific questions: “How can we balance economic growth with environmental protection? Could we engineer our way out of a climate disaster?” Similarly, space exploration has fascinated humans for centuries. ____37____ We may wonder: “Could we one day settle on other planets?” You might be wondering: “Why bother with all these heavy questions? Can’t we just enjoy a nice, light conversation about the weather?” Well, sure, we could. But where’s the fun in that? Asking intellectual questions isn’t just a way to sound smart at dinner parties. When we engage with intellectual questions, we’re developing critical thinking skills, enhancing our ability to analyze complex issues, and broadening our understanding of the world. ____38____ And the benefits go beyond personal development. Engaging in intellectual questions can promote understanding. When we struggle with difficult questions together, we learn to appreciate different viewpoints, to challenge our own assumptions, and to find common ground even in disagreement. ____39____ Didn’t many of the world’s greatest discoveries and inventions start with someone asking “What if?” or “Why not?” So next time you find yourself in a conversation, don’t be afraid to dig a little deeper, to ask the big questions, and to challenge assumptions. Your brain and the world will thank you for it. A. Intellectual questions arise accordingly. B. It’s like going to the gym, but for your brain. C. Intellectual questions are not just surface-level inquiries. D. Moreover, raising big questions drives innovation and progress. E. In a world full of challenges, they are more important than ever. F. As we explore further, the questions touch on the very fabric of our society. G. The questions that unlock deep insights and meaningful connections lie in every corner. 【答案】35. C 36. G 37. A 38. B 39. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了思辨性问题的本质特征，列举人工智能、环境发展、太空探索等领域的相关深度问题，阐述探讨思辨性问题对个人思维培养、人际包容理解以及社会创新发展的重要意义，并呼吁人们勇于提出深层次、有价值的问题。 【35题详解】 根据前文“The scene summarizes the essence of intellectual questions.(这一场景概括了思辨性问题的本质。)”以及空后一句 “They’re the kind of questions that make you frown, scratch your head, and maybe even lose a little sleep.(这类问题会让你皱眉、苦思冥想，甚至夜不能寐。)” 可知空前总结思辨性问题的本质，空后描述这类问题引人深思、并不浅显；故推知：空处应点明思辨性问题并非表层浅显的问题，承接上下文语义；选项C“Intellectual questions are not just surface-level inquiries.(思辨性问题不只是流于表面的疑问。)” 符合原文内容。 【36题详解】 根据后文“For instance, as AI systems become increasingly complex, we’re forced to deal with some pretty mind-bending questions, like “Will AI ever achieve true consciousness?” or “Could it one day surpass human intelligence?” Environmental sustainability presents another set of urgent scientific questions: “How can we balance economic growth with environmental protection? Could we engineer our way out of a climate disaster?”(例如，随着人工智能系统变得愈发复杂，我们不得不面对一些十分烧脑的问题，比如“人工智能能否真正产生意识？”或是“未来它是否会超越人类智力？”环境可持续发展也引出了另一系列亟待解答的科学问题：“我们该如何平衡经济发展与环境保护？我们能否依靠科技手段化解气候灾难？”)”可知后文举例多个领域都存在深度思辨问题；故推知：空处作为段落总起句，应引出富有深度、有价值的思辨问题遍布各个领域，统领下文举例内容；选项G“The questions that unlock deep insights and meaningful connections lie in every corner.(能够启发深刻见解、建立深层关联的问题存在于各个角落。)”符合原文内容。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Similarly, space exploration has fascinated humans for centuries.(同样，几个世纪以来太空探索一直吸引着人类。)”以及空后一句 “We may wonder: “Could we one day settle on other planets?”(我们或许会疑惑：未来我们能否在其他星球定居？)” 可知前文承接 AI、环保话题转到太空探索，空后引出太空相关的思辨疑问；故推知：空处应表示伴随太空探索这一话题，相应的思辨问题也随之产生，起到承上启下作用；选项A“Intellectual questions arise accordingly.(相应地，思辨性问题随之产生。)” 符合原文内容。 【38题详解】 根据前文“When we engage with intellectual questions, we’re developing critical thinking skills, enhancing our ability to analyze complex issues, and broadening our understanding of the world.(当我们探究思辨性问题时，我们正在培养批判性思维能力，提升分析复杂问题的能力，并拓宽对世界的认知。)” 及空后一句“And the benefits go beyond personal development.(这些益处远不止个人成长层面。)”可知空前讲述思考思辨性问题对个人思维与认知的提升作用，后文提及其他方面的益处；故推知：空处会总结思考思辨性问题对个人思维与认知的益处，衔接前文；选项B“It’s like going to the gym, but for your brain.(这就像是给大脑健身。)” 符合原文内容。 【39题详解】 根据前文“When we struggle with difficult questions together, we learn to appreciate different viewpoints, to challenge our own assumptions, and to find common ground even in disagreement.(当我们一同钻研难题时，我们学会欣赏不同观点，质疑自身固有想法，即便存在分歧也能找到共识。)”以及空后一句“Didn’t many of the world’s greatest discoveries and inventions start with someone asking “What if?” or “Why not?”?(世界上许多伟大的发现和发明，不都是始于有人提出 “假如会怎样？”“为何不试试？” 这类问题吗？)”可知，空前讲述思辨问题促进人与人之间的理解包容，空后关联到人类发明创造；故推知：空处递进说明提出深刻问题能推动创新与社会进步，衔接前后逻辑；选项D“Moreover, raising big questions drives innovation and progress.(此外，提出重大问题能推动创新与进步。)”符合原文内容。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Last month, I visited a well-known art museum in the city with my wife. As we stood before a priceless impressionist painting, I noticed something strange: nearly every teenager around us was not looking at the paintings. Their arms extended, and their eyes were fixed on the small screens of their cellphones. They were taking photos — dozens of them — framing the artwork and adjusting angles, all without pausing to actually see the painting itself. This scene made me wonder: have we, as a generation, lost the ability to experience life directly? It seems that for many of us, an event is not real unless it is documented and shared on social media. We don’t just go to a concert; we capture it to post online. We don’t just watch a sunset; we film it for the social media platform. I used to be one of those people. Last summer, I went to a music festival and spent the entire night holding my phone above my head, trying to record every song. When I got home, I was exhausted — and disappointed. My videos were shaky, the audio was terrible, and I couldn’t remember a single note I had “watched” live. Worse, I had missed the chance to dance with my friends or feel the music in my bones. That night, I realized I had prioritized sharing the moment over living it. So, I have made a promise to myself: to put my phone down more often and be fully present in those times that make life meaningful. We need to look at the painting instead of photographing it, and dance to the music instead of recording it. Why let our phone cameras become a barrier between us and the world? After all, the best memories are not the ones we capture on camera — they are the ones we capture in our hearts. 40. What were the teenagers busy doing in the museum? _______________________________________________________ 41. What did the author realize after the music festival? _______________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. For the best memories, the author has decided to keep records of the meaningful moments. _______________________________________________________ 43. Do you agree that the cellphone camera has become a barrier between us and the world? Why or why not? (In about 40 words) _______________________________________________________ 【答案】40. They were busy taking photos of the paintings without appreciating them carefully. 41. He realized he had prioritized sharing the moment over living it. 42. For the best memories, the author has decided to keep records of the meaningful moments. Because the author decides to put down his phone and experience meaningful moments personally instead of recording them. 43. (open) Yes, I agree. Many people focus on taking photos to post online instead of enjoying moments. Phones distract us from real feelings and communication, which keeps us away from the beautiful world around us. 【解析】 【导语】文章作者通过自己的经历感悟到不要让手机隔绝人与真实世界，最美的回忆留存于心中而非镜头里。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“They were taking photos — dozens of them — framing the artwork and adjusting angles, all without pausing to actually see the painting itself.(他们不停地拍照，拍了几十张，对着画作构图取景、调整角度，却全然没有停下来好好欣赏这幅画作本身。)”可知，美术馆里的青少年只顾给画作拍照、调整角度，没有停下来认真欣赏画作。 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“That night, I realized I had prioritized sharing the moment over living it.(那天晚上，我意识到我只顾着分享当下，却忘了用心感受当下。)”可知，音乐节结束后，作者意识到自己本末倒置，更在意分享瞬间，而不是亲身享受当下。 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“So, I have made a promise to myself: to put my phone down more often and be fully present in those times that make life meaningful.(于是我对自己许下承诺：多放下手机，全身心沉浸在那些赋予生活意义的美好时刻里。)”可知，作者决定放下手机，亲身感受美好时刻，而不是继续拍照记录，因此原句中 keep records of the meaningful moments表述错误。 【43题详解】 考查开放性试题。可以参考的答案是：是的，我很赞同。很多人只顾着拍照发网上，却不去享受当下的时刻。手机让我们无法专注于真实的情感交流，也让我们渐渐远离了身边美好的世界。（答案不唯一，言之有理即可） 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的外国好友Jim正在策划一次班级研学活动，就活动的主题来信征求你的建议。请你用英文给他回信，内容包括： 1. 你的建议； 2. 建议的理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m glad to hear that you are planning a study tour for your class.
