In my opinion, digital museums are a valuable complement rather than a replacement for physical visits. On the one hand, they break down geographical and financial barriers, making culture accessible to more people. On the other hand, no screen can reproduce the awe of standing before a real artifact. The texture, the scale, the atmosphere — these can only be experienced in person. Therefore, I suggest we use digital tools as a starting point to spark interest, and then visit real museums to deepen our understanding. Together, they offer a richer journey into the past. 第二节 读后续写（满分 25 分） 参考范文 Para 1: I put down the phone, stunned and lost in thought. For days, I had been burning with anger, complaining about how unfairly I was treated. I called him a careless driver in my mind again and again. But now, this stranger I had blamed so much chose to protect me from trouble. He didn’t have to do that. I sat there for a long time, feeling ashamed. Finally, I picked up the phone and called his agent, asking him to pass along my sincere thanks. I also apologized for my bad attitude at the accident scene. His agent said the man was glad to hear that. Putting down the phone, I felt a heavy weight lift from my chest. Para 2: A few weeks later, I met the man again in the elevator to my office. He smiled and asked how my car was doing. Instead of looking away, I took a deep breath and thanked him again for his kindness. He looked a little surprised, then smiled warmly. We had a short, friendly talk about the repairs. Before he got off, he apologized once more for the accident. I told him it was okay and that I was sorry for being so angry at first. The elevator doors closed, but I felt lighter. Forgiveness, I realized, is not about excusing a mistake — it’s about freeing your own heart. I walked into my office with a genuine smile. 听力稿 (Text 1) W: You look smart! Where are you going? M: Today is my grandparents’ golden wedding anniversary.

I’m a weather forecaster, which means I study what happens in the atmosphere and the weather conditions that occur on Earth. People are always surprised to learn that forecasters aren’t just involved in weather reporting on TV, but they could also work at a radio station, too. I often get asked how I got interested in weather. Believe it or not, as a teenager, I became nervous of thunderstorms, and I’d often check the forecasts to see if any were coming. From there, my interest developed. If you are thinking of going into weather forecasting, there are some important skills you’ll need. You have to be good at science, of course. The essential thing is having the ability to make sense of patterns. You won’t go too far wrong with that. Another useful skill is being able to translate a forecast into something people at home can understand. Most weather experts study physics and math before going on to do a more specialized course in forecasting. My own way in was somewhat different, as I did a business degree before getting into television as a researcher. I moved around quite a lot at the TV station and eventually ended up in the weather department, where I did my training. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是高三英语模拟试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。You look smart.

I had been in hospital for several days because of breathing problems, and my body was still very weak. Now I was in a recovery home. I hated staying here until I got strong enough to go back to my apartment. Most patients here were much older than me. The two elderly women sharing my room kept me awake every night with their moans and screams. I felt tired and worried. Luckily, there was one good thing: the food was delicious. The medicine I took made me very hungry, so I was thankful for three nice meals each day. “You gave me oatmeal again. Thanks for remembering it’s my favourite!” I told the young man. “Actually, we cook oatmeal for everyone every morning, but no one has ever told me they like it,” he replied, looking surprised. “Everyone in the kitchen works very hard. It’s nice to hear a compliment for a change. Usually, patients complain about the food.” I wanted to encourage him and his workmates. I quickly wrote a compliment on the back of the breakfast menu and showed it to him. He read it, smiled, and promised to share it with the kitchen staff. Then I decided I would write a thank-you note to the kitchen after every meal. Writing these notes helped take my mind off my illness and my noisy roommates. It also gave me something to look forward to. Each day, I enjoyed seeing the surprise and happiness on the faces of the staff when they found my notes. When I finally left the recovery home, the food service director came to say goodbye. “We’ve kept all your notes,” he said. “They’re on the bulletin board where everyone can read them. Your kind words have touched and encouraged us all.” I smiled back. Being a patient here had been hard, but writing notes of gratitude gave me something positive to do. I decided to continue this habit. Taking time to thank others had become a part of my life — and for that, I was truly grateful. 24. Why did the author dislike the recovery home at first? A. The food there was terrible. B. The young man was unfriendly. C. She missed cooking for herself. D. Her roommates disturbed her rest. 25. What can be inferred about the kitchen staff from the young man’s words? A. They rarely received positive feedback. B. They were planning to change the menu. C. They recorded each patient’s diet. D. They only cooked oatmeal for the author 26. What effect did writing thank-you notes have? A. It helped her fully recover from illness. B. It improved her well-being and motivated the staff. C. It made her popular among other patients. D. It offered practical suggestions to the staff. 27. What is the author’s main message? A. Hospital food has improved greatly. B. A little gratitude benefits both sides. C. Elderly patients need better care. D. Positive thinking speeds up recovery. C Human history is the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision — from glass lenses to satellites — extended perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. Observation ceased to be passive. We no longer merely looked — we searched. Over centuries, instruments multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally algorithms (算法). Each revealed a new layer of reality — the cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the galaxy. To see was to know; to measure was to exist. Yet each discovery also reminded us how small we are. The 20th century made observation a networked activity. The internet made everyone an observer, yet also observable. We became data points, recording and being recorded at once. The telescope and the smartphone camera are now part of the same global apparatus — seeing from deep space to the intimacy of a face. Now, machines see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — galactic movements, disease signatures, city habits. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, ambitious, and autonomous. When the first image of a black hole appeared, humanity witnessed itself witnessing the unseeable. The James Webb Telescope translates ancient light into revelation. But these triumphs carry irony: as our instruments grow more powerful, our dependence on them grows absolute. Perhaps the ultimate horizon of observation is not out among the stars, but here — in the recognition that seeing is never neutral. Every gaze shapes what it beholds. The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look. 28. What is the significance of the invention made in 1608? A. It allowed people to see farther. B. It was the first use of lenses to enlarge objects. C. It marked the shift from looking to searching. D. It proved that observation requires advanced instruments. 29. What does the underlined word “apparatus” in paragraph 3 mean? A. instrument B. agency C. system D. initiative 30. What is ironic about the achievements of modern observation? A. Ancient light reveals nothing new. B. Humans can finally see the unseeable. C. The more we see, the less independent we are. D. Instruments grow stronger as we depend on them. 31. What best describes the author’s attitude towards human observation? A. The sky is the limit. B. Every rose has its thorn. C. What you see is what you get. D. A rolling stone gathers no moss. D In a study covering 13 languages, 12 research teams, and 12 countries across 5 continents, the finding held true across all these diverse contexts: People prefer self-reliant strategies more than advice-oriented or other strategies. By design, the study posed six everyday dilemmas. Anthropologists (人类学家), philosophers, and linguists (语言学家) within these research teams cooperated globally and on the ground to better engage with their particular sample study group. Their intention was to find out how various peoples and cultures arrived at decisions, whether through personal reflection or by considering others’ opinions. “It is important to study how people prefer to make choices — by taking advice, by following the wisdom of crowds, by trusting their first reactions, or by relying on their own reasoning — because these preferences likely influence how people actually make decisions and how they respond to how institutions frame choices for them,” says senior author Edouard Machery, a professor of history and philosophy of science. The research teams wrote that the universality of their finding regarding this self-reliance preference requires a rethinking of the long-held assumption in cultural psychology about independent and interdependent agency. Even the most interdependent groups in the study showed a leaning toward private reflection. “Whereas interdependent cultures were more likely to consider advice than independent cultures, even in the most independent groups the default (默认的) response was to go it alone, even if it contradicted friends’ or family’s recommendations,” lead author Igor Grossmann says. Machery says, “One might think that if anything should vary across cultures and environments, it is preferences about how to make a decision. But that appears not to be the case. We were also surprised to find that people had little appetite for the wisdom of crowds despite the fact that often, though not always, following the wisdom of crowds leads to better decisions.” “We also observed another near-universal tendency: When asking the same people whom they think people from their culture would choose, people were more likely to consider their friends’ advice,” Grossmann says. 32. What is the core finding of the study? A. Cultural backgrounds shape decision-making strategies. B. Self-reliant decision-making is preferred cross-culturally. C. Decision-making patterns vary greatly across continents. D. Friends’ advice is valued by people from different cultures. 33. Why does Machery think studying decision-making preferences matters? A. It promotes trust in crowd wisdom. B. It strengthens independent cultural values. C. It affects people’s real decisions and reactions. D. It helps improve institutional decision systems. 34. What can we learn about interdependent cultures from Grossmann’s words? A. They totally reject suggestions from others. B. They hardly ever depend on their own thinking. C. They consider advice more than independent cultures. D. They have the same decision patterns as independent cultures. 35. Which is the best title for the text? A. Cultural Differences in Decision-Making B. The Value of Following Crowd Wisdom C. Strategies for Solving Daily Dilemmas D.

I immediately felt a looming headache at the thought of yet another device — this one fastened to my body — delivering constant distractions. In a world flooded with interruptions, our attention has become a commodity. 36 There is, however, a cure. Research suggests that in ‘flow’, we can become up to 500% more productive. 37 Our skills are perfectly balanced with the level of challenge, resulting in effortless success. But what if we shouldn’t put productivity at the top of our agenda? Flow offers far more. 38 Flow fosters a sense of control, reduces self-consciousness, and creates a feeling of immersion as our awareness of time softens. It increases playfulness, creativity, and even empathy. Remarkably, it slows brainwave activity, shifting us into a meditative, ‘rest and digest’ mode. So how do we enter flow? Try a seven-day experiment: spend 20 minutes daily on something you genuinely enjoy and feel skilled at — crocheting, painting, sport, creative writing. Track your mood and your experience of time. 39 Find the sweet spot between skill and challenge: too great a challenge brings stress; too little, boredom. When approached intentionally, cultivating flow becomes a form of mental discipline. 40 Happy flowing! A. Don’t measure performance. B. Don’t worry if they seem unrelated to flow. C. And it costs us not only time, but productivity. D. What if we used it to enhance our wellbeing? E. In this state, we are deeply absorbed in a task. F. It is as essential to wellbeing as sleep routine is to rest. G. It could be used to improve our mental performance as well. 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was just past noon on a sunny Saturday last August when long-time fishing pals Jacob Bell and Craig McDonald decided to call it a day.

It took only seconds to realize what had happened — I had been hit while exiting the underground parking lot near my office. My heart raced as I stepped out to see the damage. The back of my car was scratched and dented (有凹痕的). The other driver, a man, looked nervous and kept apologizing. “I am so sorry, miss. Are you okay?” After checking the damage, I was upset but didn’t want to argue. I suggested we exchange insurance information. Neither of us was hurt, so we agreed to file reports at the police station. At the station, I told the officer my frustration. He walked out to check my car and said repairs could cost a lot, adding that I should be more careful next time. I was still angry but said nothing. Still angry the next day at work, I complained to anyone who would listen. My coworker tried to calm me down, but I wouldn’t listen. This anger stayed with me for days. Then my insurance agent called. The news was worse: since drivers on the road have the right of way, I was considered at fault. The other driver could get money from my insurance, and I would have to pay more for my insurance later. I argued that he had been driving too fast — I had clearly heard his brakes. The agent said without a witness, nothing could be done. I hung up, feeling even angrier than before. Then my agent called again with good news. The man had decided not to file a claim. Instead, he would pay for his own repairs. He told his agent he didn’t want me to be punished. Apparently, he said I shouldn’t suffer because of the accident. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按照如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Para 1: I put down the phone, stunned and lost in thought. Para 2: A few weeks later, I met the man again in the elevator to my office. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
