DeepSeek claimed higher energy efficiency but also faced doubts, keeping AI’s energy use a persistent concern. Here is the daily energy comparison between ChatGPT and Google search. Operation Type Energy Per Search Daily Energy Use ChatGPT Response 0.0029 kWh 621.4 MWh Google Search 0.0003 kWh 10.8 MWh Given the energy consumption, AI adoption won’t slow as firms view it as essential, so a smart strategy is needed to employ AI’s benefits while meeting sustainable goals. Luckily, industry experts are developing various solutions to address this challenge. The AI-related energy risks have gained visibility, triggering public awareness and action. Yet focusing on energy alone cannot break the cycle of increasing environmental and operational pressures. “To address AI-energy risks and unlock long-term value, companies and investors must move beyond their narrow roles in the AI value chain. They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment,” notes Lauren Smart in World Economic Forum. 1. How much more daily energy does ChatGPT consume than Google Search? A. 632.2 MWh. B. 621.4 MWh. C. 610.6 MWh. D. 10.8 MWh. 2. Which of the following is an effective measure to cut AI energy use? A. Adopting energy-saving chips. B. Selecting larger models. C. Establishing more data centers. D. Encouraging firm competitions. 3. According to Lauren Smart, AI companies should adopt a mission that________. A. generates shared benefit B. gains public recognition C. follows existing regulations D. maximizes investor’s profits B Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly go down? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat cautiously and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse found a tiny sparrow (麻雀) struggling to straighten a bent tree in the wind. The horse laughed and doubted its power, but the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4. What does the author think of her present life? A. She enjoys making new friends. B. She feels more struggles over aging process. C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 5. What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 6. What does the underlined phrase “a rowing machine” most probably mean? A. A tool that brings physical exercise and strength. B. An endless routine that traps people in life troubles. C. A spiritual support that helps get through hardships. D. A burden that wears people down mentally over time. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Dark Days, Heavy Hearts B. Little Steps, Full Hearts C. Fading Age, Fading Strength D. Old Friends, Forever Homes C Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children. The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature. Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection. Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining. Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added. 8. What change has Richardson traced in his study? A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature. C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids. 9. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model? A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature. C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons. 10. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text? A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns. C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas. 11. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________. A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature D What if the solar panels that once powered our homes could, after their retirement, help power the electric vehicles of tomorrow? This vision is now becoming a reality in the laboratories of the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, where scientists have successfully turned old solar panels into high-performance lithium battery (锂电池) materials. This advancement responds directly to two pressing challenges. First, solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years, and mountains of solar waste are expected in the coming decade. Second, conventional lithium batteries, which rely on graphite anodes (石墨负极), are rapidly hitting their energy limit of 300 watt-hours per kilogram, which falls short of the ever-increasing demands of electric vehicles. So, how does this recycling strategy work? Researchers extract tiny silicon particles (硅颗粒) from retired solar panels to create battery anodes. Silicon has long been seen as a good replacement for graphite because it can store nearly ten times more lithium. However, here’s the issue: during charging and discharging, silicon particles expand up to 300% and then shrink back, causing cracks that quickly wear out the battery. To solve this, the team added a special chemical liquid. The key lies in a thin film that forms on the anode’s surface — a protective layer that holds cracked particles together and minimizes unwanted reactions. This approach works remarkably well. In tests, batteries using recycled silicon anodes delivered an energy density (密度) of 340.7 Wh/kg — well beyond graphite’s theoretical limit. After 200 charges, they still held 83.1% of their original capacity. Ecologically, the process turns waste into valuable battery components, significantly reducing both the economic and environmental impacts. “The sustainable sourcing of silicon from old solar panels cuts waste,” said Dong Tiantian, a researcher at QIBEBT. “Turning solar waste into battery parts also lowers battery costs.” With solar installations booming worldwide, this recycling strategy closes the loop: waste from one green technology becomes the raw material for another — a true circular economy in renewable energy. 12. What two major problems does this breakthrough address? A. High battery costs and low EV adoption rates. B. Short panel lifespan and weak recycling systems. C. Lithium shortage and falling solar panel efficiency. D. Solar panel waste and limited battery energy density. 13. What is the key to making the recycled silicon anode work properly? A. The temperature of operation. B. The number of charging cycles. C. The formation of a surface layer. D. The purity of the chemical liquid. 14. Why does the author mention the battery tests in paragraph 4? A. To prove silicon is better than graphite. B. To highlight the environmental benefits. C. To present the actual performance of the battery. D. To show the cost advantage of recycled materials. 15. What is the broader significance of this research according to the last paragraph? A. It removes the need for lithium. B. It improves solar panel efficiency. C. It will soon replace all graphite batteries. D. It offers a circular solution to both problems. 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。 Lining up to board a plane shows how we now pay to skip waiting. The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane and the less likely you will have to check a bag. ____16____ When did the act of waiting get such a bad reputation? ____17____ We savor (品尝) the anticipation like a child waiting for summer vacation. Perhaps the person waiting in line to see his favorite singer perform enjoys the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue. As world speeds up, balance between instant and delayed satisfaction no longer matches people’s expectations. This shift turns waiting into a source of shame, which damages mental health. ____18____ Being forced to wait is often seen as a sign of being less well off or “left behind”. It encourages impatience and disrespect for those who are caught waiting. The ability to wait patiently is important for a civilized society. If we lose patience and can’t wait in line or for our turn, we end up feeling the stress of a fast-paced world. Furthermore, if we call people who wait “losers”, we are being unfair and may act without thinking how our actions affect others. ____19____ Of course, we should not have to wait patiently for everything. For example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate action. Asking people to wait can be a planned delay of change. ____20____ In a larger context, we all need to understand waiting not only as a necessary evil but also as an important function which keeps us in step with those we share life with. A. It encourages people to act without patience. B. It’s not just airlines — museums and parks do the same. C. Waiting can actually enhance our appreciation of something. D. Therefore, some people now view waiting as a waste of time. E. Yet negative experiences with waiting shouldn’t blind us to its value. F. When we look down upon waiting, we risk losing part of our shared humanity. G. This thinking makes waiters seem less important, which is harmful to treat others. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One day, our neighbor called again to invite my daughter Angie over to play.

This year, the gathering would be held in Alex’s home and he was so looking forward to it. Preparing a big dinner is never easy. Mom started the rush early. She was in the kitchen, as busy as a bee. “I hope Dad will be back soon,” Mom said to Alex. Dad was a mechanic, responsible for a district’s power lines. “He promised he’d get off work at four.” Alex replied and volunteered to be the “decoration helper”. At 6:00, the bell rang. It was Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mark, but no Dad. By 6:30, the house was well-decorated and Alex had hung a red lantern high above the doorway, the symbol of happiness and reunion. Mom managed to finish the cooking when the bell rang again. It was Grandma and Grandpa, together with Uncle Jack’s family. Still no Dad. Outside the cold wind was getting stronger. Mom was worried. While waiting for Dad, Alex turned on the music and kept busy chatting with all the guests about holidays and his school life. Mom texted and called Dad, but, no answer. At 7:15, stomachs made noise louder than the music. Alex found Mom in the bedroom and he heard Dad say “Sorry” over the phone. Mom handed the phone to Alex, disappointment written on her face. “What happened, Dad?” Dad shouted over the wind, “The main power line is broken! All the workers are here. We have to fix it, or many people will have a cold and dark night. I am so sorry, but you know… this is my duty.” Then, how about the gathering without Dad? 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。 Back to the living room, Alex decided to act as a perfect host. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At 11:50, the door opened and in came Dad, looking tired. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 莆田市2026届高中毕业班适应性练习 英 语 （试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．请保持答题卡整洁，避免折叠。考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（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.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍AI能耗高的问题、ChatGPT与谷歌搜索的能耗对比，以及应对该问题的解决措施和专家的相关建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中ChatGPT Response行Daily Energy Use列“621.4 MWh (621.4兆瓦时)”以及Google Search行Daily Energy Use列“10.8 MWh (10.8兆瓦时)”可知，两者的能耗差值为621.4-10.8 = 610.6 MWh。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中Potential Solutions部分左上角“Hardware Upgrades: Use power-limited, carbon-efficient hardware (e.g. IBM’s 2025 new chips) to cut energy use.(硬件升级：采用功率消耗低、碳排放量小的硬件设备（例如，IBM的2025年新芯片）以降低能源消耗)”可知，采用节能芯片可以直接减少AI运行时的能源消耗。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Lauren Smart的表述“They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment.(他们应该采取既能推进商业目标又能造福社会和环境的策略，以创造共享价值)”可知，AI公司应该采取的使命是创造共享价值。故选A项。 B Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly go down? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat cautiously and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse found a tiny sparrow (麻雀) struggling to straighten a bent tree in the wind. The horse laughed and doubted its power, but the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4. What does the author think of her present life? A. She enjoys making new friends. B. She feels more struggles over aging process. C. She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D. She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 5. What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A. Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B. Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C. Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D. Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 6. What does the underlined phrase “a rowing machine” most probably mean? A. A tool that brings physical exercise and strength. B. An endless routine that traps people in life troubles. C. A spiritual support that helps get through hardships. D. A burden that wears people down mentally over time. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Dark Days, Heavy Hearts B. Little Steps, Full Hearts C. Fading Age, Fading Strength D. Old Friends, Forever Homes 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者与老友海滩散步，感悟衰老中友谊与微小善举的力量。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly go down?(我为世事心生感慨，但多半还是困在自己的人生剧本里，身心的平衡与力量都开始走下坡路。当岁月如嘎吱作响的电梯缓缓下行，我们该何去何从？)”可知，作者感到自己正在衰老，平衡和力量都在衰退，对衰老过程感到挣扎和无奈。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段中“A great warhorse found a tiny sparrow struggling to straighten a bent tree in the wind. The horse laughed and doubted its power, but the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”This is what older age means; we do what we can.(一匹骏马发现一只小麻雀在风中挣扎着扶正一棵弯曲的树。马嘲笑它，怀疑它的力量，但麻雀回答说：“尽己所能。”这就是年老的含义；我们尽己所能。)”可知，麻雀的故事传达的是：无论多么微小，每个人都应尽己所能做自己能做的事。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据最后一段中“We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart.(我们互相扶持了很多次，度过了一些黑暗和巨大损失的时期，但友谊使这一切成为灵魂的a rowing machine。只要我们能感受和给予爱，我们就能承受，并在崩溃时温柔地笑对自己。)”可知，我们互相扶持了很多次，度过了一些黑暗和巨大损失的时期，但友谊是帮助度过难关的精神支持，a rowing machine for the soul指的是“在困难中给予精神支持的东西”。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文可知，文章通过作者与老友在海滩捡拾微小垃圾的故事，以及麻雀“尽己所能”的寓言，传达了一个核心思想：即使是微小的行动也有意义，而爱与友谊让内心充实。“Little Steps, Full Hearts(小小的步伐，满满的心灵)”最能概括全文主旨。 C Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children. The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature. Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection. Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining. Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added. 8. What change has Richardson traced in his study? A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature. C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids. 9. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model? A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature. C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons. 10. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text? A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns. C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas. 11. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________. A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来，书籍中自然词汇减少，反映出人们与自然的接触日益减少。研究表明，城市化、长辈不再引导孩子亲近自然等因素，可能导致后代出现“自然体验的灭绝”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.(据德比大学的Miles Richardson教授的一项研究显示，这种下降趋势反映了他所追踪到的更为广泛的变革：220年来的城市化记录、社区内野生动物的减少，以及父母不再将与自然的接触方式传递给子女的现象。)” 可知，Richardson追踪到的核心变化是：城市化、社区野生生物减少、父母不再传递亲近自然的习惯，即，人们和自然的直接接触变少了。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“The computer modelling in the study also predicts an ‘extinction of experience’, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an ‘orientation’ towards the natural world.(该研究中的计算机模型还预测会出现“体验灭绝”现象，未来的世代将会逐渐失去对自然界的认知，因为自然环境已不再存在于日益密集的居民区之中，而父母们也不再向孩子们传递对自然世界的“认知导向”。)”可知，“体验灭绝”的原因是：社区逐渐被建筑覆盖，自然消失，同时父母不再传递亲近自然的倾向，即，下一代成长环境本身就远离自然。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.(更为有效的是那些能在孩子幼年时期就建立与自然联系的措施，比如为幼儿设立的森林学校。研究表明，政府针对早期教育和城市规划的改革举措必须在未来 25 年内持续推行。一旦这种联系得以确立，它就能实现自我维持。)”可知，更有效的方式是从小培养亲近自然的连接，政府调整早期教育和城市设计的举措，必须在未来25年持续推行，即长期政策才是有效的解决方案。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. ‘Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,’ he said.(一项针对谢菲尔德市民的研究发现，他们平均每天在自然环境中停留的时间仅为4分36秒。“将这个时间增加 10 倍，人们每天就能在户外度过 40 分钟 —— 这或许已经足够了。”)”提及谢菲尔德市民每天只在自然环境中停留4分36秒，而只需增加十倍到四十分钟就够了，即，不用巨大改变，小努力就能提升亲近自然的时间。故选D项。 D What if the solar panels that once powered our homes could, after their retirement, help power the electric vehicles of tomorrow? This vision is now becoming a reality in the laboratories of the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, where scientists have successfully turned old solar panels into high-performance lithium battery (锂电池) materials. This advancement responds directly to two pressing challenges. First, solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years, and mountains of solar waste are expected in the coming decade. Second, conventional lithium batteries, which rely on graphite anodes (石墨负极), are rapidly hitting their energy limit of 300 watt-hours per kilogram, which falls short of the ever-increasing demands of electric vehicles. So, how does this recycling strategy work? Researchers extract tiny silicon particles (硅颗粒) from retired solar panels to create battery anodes. Silicon has long been seen as a good replacement for graphite because it can store nearly ten times more lithium. However, here’s the issue: during charging and discharging, silicon particles expand up to 300% and then shrink back, causing cracks that quickly wear out the battery. To solve this, the team added a special chemical liquid. The key lies in a thin film that forms on the anode’s surface — a protective layer that holds cracked particles together and minimizes unwanted reactions. This approach works remarkably well. In tests, batteries using recycled silicon anodes delivered an energy density (密度) of 340.7 Wh/kg — well beyond graphite’s theoretical limit. After 200 charges, they still held 83.1% of their original capacity. Ecologically, the process turns waste into valuable battery components, significantly reducing both the economic and environmental impacts. “The sustainable sourcing of silicon from old solar panels cuts waste,” said Dong Tiantian, a researcher at QIBEBT. “Turning solar waste into battery parts also lowers battery costs.” With solar installations booming worldwide, this recycling strategy closes the loop: waste from one green technology becomes the raw material for another — a true circular economy in renewable energy. 12. What two major problems does this breakthrough address? A. High battery costs and low EV adoption rates. B. Short panel lifespan and weak recycling systems. C. Lithium shortage and falling solar panel efficiency. D. Solar panel waste and limited battery energy density. 13. What is the key to making the recycled silicon anode work properly? A. The temperature of operation. B. The number of charging cycles. C. The formation of a surface layer. D. The purity of the chemical liquid. 14. Why does the author mention the battery tests in paragraph 4? A. To prove silicon is better than graphite. B. To highlight the environmental benefits. C. To present the actual performance of the battery. D. To show the cost advantage of recycled materials. 15. What is the broader significance of this research according to the last paragraph? A. It removes the need for lithium. B. It improves solar panel efficiency. C. It will soon replace all graphite batteries. D. It offers a circular solution to both problems. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了青岛科研机构将废旧太阳能板回收提取硅颗粒，制成高性能锂电池负极材料，既解决光伏废料堆积难题，又突破传统锂电池能量密度瓶颈，实现可再生能源的循环经济利用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This advancement responds directly to two pressing challenges. First, solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years, and mountains of solar waste are expected in the coming decade. Second, conventional lithium batteries, which rely on graphite anodes, are rapidly hitting their energy limit of 300 watt-hours per kilogram, which falls short of the ever-increasing demands of electric vehicles. (这项突破直接应对了两大紧迫难题。首先，太阳能电池板的使用寿命通常为25至30年，未来十年将会产生堆积如山的光伏废弃物。其次，依赖石墨负极的传统锂电池，其能量密度很快触及每千克300瓦时的上限，难以满足电动汽车日益增长的需求。)”可知，这项技术解决了太阳能电池板废弃物和电池能量密度有限的问题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To solve this, the team added a special chemical liquid. The key lies in a thin film that forms on the anode’s surface — a protective layer that holds cracked particles together and minimizes unwanted reactions. (为解决这一问题，研究团队添加了一种特殊化学液体。关键在于负极表面会形成一层薄膜，这层保护层能将开裂的颗粒粘合在一起，并最大限度减少不良反应。)”可知，解决硅颗粒膨胀开裂问题的关键，是添加特殊化学液体后在负极表面形成的保护层薄膜。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This approach works remarkably well. In tests, batteries using recycled silicon anodes delivered an energy density of 340.7 Wh/kg — well beyond graphite’s theoretical limit. After 200 charges, they still held 83.1% of their original capacity. Ecologically, the process turns waste into valuable battery components, significantly reducing both the economic and environmental impacts. (该方法效果十分显著。测试中，采用回收硅负极的电池能量密度达到每千克340.7瓦时，远超石墨的理论极限。经过200次充放电循环后，电池仍能保留83.1%的初始容量。从生态角度来看，这一工艺变废为宝，将废弃物转化为高价值电池组件，大幅降低了经济成本与环境影响。)”可知，本段开头点明“这个方法效果非常好”，随后列举测试的能量密度、容量保持率数据，作者提到电池测试的目的是展示这项技术做出的电池的实际性能。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘The sustainable sourcing of silicon from old solar panels cuts waste,’ said Dong Tiantian, a researcher at QIBEBT. ‘Turning solar waste into battery parts also lowers battery costs.’ With solar installations booming worldwide, this recycling strategy closes the loop: waste from one green technology becomes the raw material for another — a true circular economy in renewable energy. (青岛生物能源与过程研究所研究员董甜甜表示：‘从废旧太阳能电池板中可持续获取硅原料，减少了废弃物产生。将光伏废料制成电池部件，同时也降低了电池生产成本。’随着全球太阳能装置装机量激增，这套回收模式实现了闭环循环：一项绿色技术产生的废弃物，成为另一项绿色技术的原材料，真正构建起可再生能源领域的循环经济。)”可知，这项技术实现了循环经济：一种绿色技术的废料成为另一种绿色技术的原料，同时解决了太阳能垃圾和电池原料两个问题，因此这项研究更广泛的意义是为两个问题提供了一个循环解决方案。 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。 Lining up to board a plane shows how we now pay to skip waiting. The more you pay, the sooner you can get on the plane and the less likely you will have to check a bag. ____16____ When did the act of waiting get such a bad reputation? ____17____ We savor (品尝) the anticipation like a child waiting for summer vacation. Perhaps the person waiting in line to see his favorite singer perform enjoys the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue. As world speeds up, balance between instant and delayed satisfaction no longer matches people’s expectations. This shift turns waiting into a source of shame, which damages mental health. ____18____ Being forced to wait is often seen as a sign of being less well off or “left behind”. It encourages impatience and disrespect for those who are caught waiting. The ability to wait patiently is important for a civilized society. If we lose patience and can’t wait in line or for our turn, we end up feeling the stress of a fast-paced world. Furthermore, if we call people who wait “losers”, we are being unfair and may act without thinking how our actions affect others. ____19____ Of course, we should not have to wait patiently for everything. For example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate action. Asking people to wait can be a planned delay of change. ____20____ In a larger context, we all need to understand waiting not only as a necessary evil but also as an important function which keeps us in step with those we share life with. A. It encourages people to act without patience. B. It’s not just airlines — museums and parks do the same. C. Waiting can actually enhance our appreciation of something. D. Therefore, some people now view waiting as a waste of time. E. Yet negative experiences with waiting shouldn’t blind us to its value. F. When we look down upon waiting, we risk losing part of our shared humanity. G. This thinking makes waiters seem less important, which is harmful to treat others. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. D 19. F 20.

Good afternoon, everyone! The topic of my speech today is “Are AI-generated paintings real artworks?” In my view, they are. Art is not just about how it’s created but what it conveys. AI, which can analyze vast amounts of data, is able to produce paintings that express emotions and ideas, just like what human artists do. Some may say that only human-created works can be art, but what we consider art has always evolved. What matters most is that a painting, whether made by AI or a human, can touch our hearts, which is what true art does.  Thank you for listening! 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生围绕“AI生成的画作算不算真正的艺术作品？”这一主题表达观点。 【详解】1.词汇积累 大量的：vast → enormous 表达：express → convey 重要的：matter → count 真正的：true → genuine 2.句式拓展 句型转换 原句：Some may say that only human-created works can be art, but what we consider art has always evolved. 拓展句：Although some may argue that only works created by humans can be regarded as art, the concept of what we consider as art has always developed over time. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Art is not just about how it’s created but what it conveys.

This year, the gathering would be held in Alex’s home and he was so looking forward to it. Preparing a big dinner is never easy. Mom started the rush early. She was in the kitchen, as busy as a bee. “I hope Dad will be back soon,” Mom said to Alex. Dad was a mechanic, responsible for a district’s power lines. “He promised he’d get off work at four.” Alex replied and volunteered to be the “decoration helper”. At 6:00, the bell rang. It was Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mark, but no Dad. By 6:30, the house was well-decorated and Alex had hung a red lantern high above the doorway, the symbol of happiness and reunion. Mom managed to finish the cooking when the bell rang again. It was Grandma and Grandpa, together with Uncle Jack’s family. Still no Dad. Outside the cold wind was getting stronger. Mom was worried. While waiting for Dad, Alex turned on the music and kept busy chatting with all the guests about holidays and his school life. Mom texted and called Dad, but, no answer. At 7:15, stomachs made noise louder than the music. Alex found Mom in the bedroom and he heard Dad say “Sorry” over the phone. Mom handed the phone to Alex, disappointment written on her face. “What happened, Dad?” Dad shouted over the wind, “The main power line is broken! All the workers are here. We have to fix it, or many people will have a cold and dark night. I am so sorry, but you know… this is my duty.” Then, how about the gathering without Dad? 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。 Back to the living room, Alex decided to act as a perfect host. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At 11:50, the door opened and in came Dad, looking tired. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Back to the living room, Alex decided to act as a perfect host. He smiled and greeted every guest warmly, talked about interesting topics to liven up the atmosphere, and helped Mom serve the delicious New Year dinner.

The dinner went smoothly, with laughter echoing through the house, making the cold winter night full of warmth and joy. At 11:50, the door opened and in came Dad, looking tired. His clothes were covered with dust and his hands were chapped from the cold wind, but his face lit up the moment he saw the big family. He apologized repeatedly for being late, while Mom hurried to prepare hot tea and food for him to recover from exhaustion. Alex rushed over to hug Dad tightly, and all the guests stood up to welcome him. The countdown began immediately, and with Dad joining them, this special New Year’s Eve turned into the most precious memory they would always treasure. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述新年前夜全家齐聚亚历克斯家跨年，父亲因抢修供电线路迟迟未归，亚历克斯主动招待宾客稳住场面，深夜父亲疲惫归来，全家一起跨年，既体现了父亲坚守职责的担当，也饱含家人团圆的温情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写亚历克斯回到客厅后主动担当主人，热情招待亲友、解释父亲晚归缘由，带动气氛、安抚众人情绪。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写父亲深夜疲惫归家，家人亲友热情迎接、体谅其辛苦，全家一起倒计时跨年，尽显团圆温情与责任担当。 2.续写线索：安抚宾客——聚餐闲聊——深夜归家——暖心迎接——跨年团圆——敬佩担当 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②道歉：apologize/make an apology ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/delight ②面露喜色：light up/brighten up ③疲惫：exhaustion/fatigue 【点睛】【高分句型1】He patiently told all the relatives why Dad couldn’t come back on time, and all the guests showed full understanding since they knew Dad was shouldering his responsibility for the whole neighborhood.
