B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍英国国家艺术通票的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Free & Discounted Admission部分“Access galleries and museums at no charge whenever they are open, covering England, Scotland and Wales.(英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士境内的美术馆与博物馆，开放期间均可免费入馆参观)”可知，持有通行证可在展馆开放时免费进入美术馆和博物馆，即持证人可免费参观常设展馆藏品。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guided & Self-Guided Tours部分中“on weekends, guided tours are held at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm, each lasting exactly 45 minutes(周末设有专业导览，分别在上午11点和下午2点各一场，每场时长刚好45分钟)”可知，在周末，导游游览每天举行两次。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“young individuals between the ages of 18 and 24 being charged £60, and those under 18 paying a quarter of the rate for young individuals.(18至24岁的青年收费60英镑，18岁以下人群只需支付青年票价的四分之一)”可知，18至24岁的年轻人费用为60英镑，18岁以下人群的费用是年轻人费用的四分之一，即60÷4=15英镑。 B When it comes to chess, most casual fans could spend their entire lives studying a library’s worth of chess theory, only to still be routinely beaten by competitive players. The basic rules require a reasonable amount of time to memorize before anyone can make their first moves, something that has stopped many people ever trying the game. But what if there was a way to quickly improve your abilities without spending hours bending over the board? That’s what Fletcher Heisler wondered before starting the journey of designing, building, and playing a custom chess set capable of delivering a Taser-like shock whenever it detects an error. Heisler’s chess set was inspired by DIY projects like an electrified keyboard that gets its voltage (电压) from an adjusted TENS unit. Short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, a TENS machine typically relies on sticky skin pads (贴片) that channel low-voltage current to stimulate muscles and deep tissue. Treatment is intended to change or even block the sense of pain in patients. At most, a TENS unit is somewhat uncomfortable or annoying. Increase the voltage, and encounters become much more memorable, which is exactly what Heisler did. It ended up taking months of trial-and-error to create a functional electrified chessboard model though financial problems never weighed on his mind. Pain points included ensuring each piece properly conducted electricity, setting up every square with mechanical keyboard switches to facilitate the connections, and countless unintentional shocks. Math also didn’t work in Heisler’s favor. Since each chess square required wiring, every step needed repeating at least 64 times — or 128 times for two-part steps, and so on. The chessboard ultimately offers four different modes. For example, Illegal Mode shocks a player if they make a move that breaks the game’s movement rules. While transporting the invention to its first show at an annual all-things-STEM event, he opened his suitcase to a broken chessboard not once, but twice. Thankfully, he rebuilt the machine and showed off his device. The world finally witnessed his idea come true. 4. Why did Heisler design the special chess set? A. To train professional players. B. To help learn chess quickly. C. To simplify basic chess rules. D. To test the electric shock. 5. What does a TENS unit work as? A. A smart chess game engine. B. An electric chess component. C. A medical pain-relief device. D. A human skin protection tool. 6. What mainly troubled Heisler in building the chessboard? A. The tough and repetitive work. B. The shortage of math knowledge. C. The breakdown of the chess engine. D. The high cost of every material. 7. What can we learn from Heisler’s story? A. One should never give up easily. B. High tech ensures learning efficiency. C. Financial support is the key to success. D. Creativity helps solve practical problems. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了Fletcher Heisler设计特殊国际象棋套装的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But what if there was a way to quickly improve your abilities without spending hours bending over the board? That’s what Fletcher Heisler wondered before starting the journey of designing, building, and playing a custom chess set capable of delivering a Taser-like shock whenever it detects an error.(但有没有一种办法，不用趴在棋盘前花数小时钻研，就能快速提升棋艺？弗莱彻・海斯勒就萌生了这个想法，之后他开始着手设计、制作并亲自试用一款定制国际象棋棋盘：只要检测到下棋失误，棋盘就会发出类似电击枪的电击)”可知，Heisler设计特殊的国际象棋套装是为了快速提高下棋能力，也就是帮助快速学习国际象棋。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, a TENS machine typically relies on sticky skin pads that channel low-voltage current to stimulate muscles and deep tissue. Treatment is intended to change or even block the sense of pain in patients.(经皮神经电刺激仪（TENS）是经皮电神经刺激的缩写，这类仪器通常依靠粘性皮肤电极贴片，传导低压电流来刺激肌肉和深层组织。该疗法旨在改变甚至阻断患者的疼痛感)”可知，TENS装置是一种医疗止痛设备。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Pain points included ensuring each piece properly conducted electricity, setting up every square with mechanical keyboard switches to facilitate the connections, and countless unintentional shocks. Math also didn’t work in Heisler’s favor. Since each chess square required wiring, every step needed repeating at least 64 times — or 128 times for two-part steps, and so on.(难点痛点包括：确保每一块部件都能正常导电、为每一个棋盘方格安装机械键盘按键以实现电路连通，还有过程中无数次意外触电。数学计算也对海斯勒十分不友好。由于棋盘每一格都需要布线，每一道工序至少要重复64遍；若是分两步完成的工序，则要重复128遍，以此类推)”可知，制作过程中的困难包括确保棋子导电、无数次的意外电击，以及每个方格都需要布线导致的巨大且重复的工作量。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。全文讲述了Heisler为解决“学棋慢”的问题，结合DIY创意和TENS技术，发明电击反馈象棋的故事，体现了创新思维能够助力解决实际问题。 C Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, drilling into solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while striking so hard? To study how the birds peck, Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his team first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully placed electrodes (电极) into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during effort (like weightlifters tend to do) or breathed out (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers’ pecks down to every four milliseconds. To control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors — the muscles in the upper leg that help the leg move forward — to push forward, tightened their tail and abs (腹部) to prepare for the strike, and tightened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might tighten the back of your wrist when you hit a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back. The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp outbreaths “as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains. “To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and breathe in on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.” Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing. 8. What did Antonson and his team do during the experiment? A. They adopted multiple methods. B. They conducted it in the wild. C. They checked the birds’ weight lifting. D. They tried to control the birds’ muscles. 9. In what way did the woodpeckers peck? A. They held breath while striking. B. They employed full-body muscles. C. They depended on their hard head. D. They relaxed their whole bodies. 10. Why does the author mention songbirds in the last paragraph? A. To highlight woodpeckers’ rare ability. B. To show woodpeckers’ core muscles’ role. C. To explain their connection with woodpeckers. D. To note woodpeckers’ sharp outbreaths’ origin. 11. How does the author explain the researchers’ findings overall? A. By listing statistics. B. By defining concepts. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving practical examples. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了科学家对啄木鸟啄木机制的研究。实验发现，啄木鸟通过激活全身肌肉来精准控制啄击动作，同时将啄击与急促呼气完美配合，以稳定核心肌群。这种全身肌肉协调与呼吸控制的独特机制，解释了啄木鸟为何能在剧烈撞击中保持稳定而不受伤害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To study how the birds peck, Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his team first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully placed electrodes (电极) into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during effort (like weightlifters tend to do) or breathed out (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out.(为了研究鸟类啄木的方式，布朗大学的生物学家尼古拉斯·安东森及其团队首先以人道的方式捕获了八只野生的绒啄木鸟，并在实验室里将电极小心地植入它们的肌肉中。这些电极接入了一个小巧的、特制的背包，该背包能够记录下鸟类啄木时肌肉收缩所产生的电信号。他们还通过检查鸟类气囊（帮助它们呼吸进出的小型气囊状结构）中的气流情况，来判断这些啄木鸟在用力啄木时是屏住呼吸还是呼气，因为像举重运动员那样屏住呼吸或者像网球运动员那样呼气是啄木时常见的动作)”可知，他们采用了多种方法来进行研究。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says.(安托森说，为了完成啄木动作，啄木鸟调动了“从头部到尾部的每一根肌肉”)”可知，为了控制动作，啄木鸟激活了“从头到尾的每一块肌肉”，即运用了全身的肌肉。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing.(鸣禽与啄木鸟并无密切的亲缘关系，但它们是已知的唯一一种会如此精准地控制呼吸节奏的鸟类。它们在歌唱时会如此精确地控制呼吸节奏)”可知，作者提及鸣禽是为了以此衬托，强调啄木鸟这种精确配合呼吸的能力是非常罕见和独特的。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章在解释研究发现时，多处使用了比较的手法。例如第二段将啄木鸟的呼吸方式与举重运动员或网球运动员做比较；第三段它们收紧头部和颈部后侧的动作比作人们钉钉子时收紧手腕后侧；第四段将其与鸣禽进行对比。这些比较使得研究发现更加通俗易懂。 D Researchers chose 433 participants to evaluate science-related social media posts, some accurate and some false on purpose, covering food safety and disease prevention. Some posts carried a bright red warning: “Attention: The content was detected as being generated by AI.” Others did not. Participants rated how credible each post seemed to them. When a false health post carried the AI label, participants rated it as more credible than the same false post without it. Accurate posts showed the opposite: The label made them seem less trustworthy. Researchers described this as a “truth-falsity crossover effect”. To understand why, consider how most people actually read social media. Nobody is fact-checking claims while reading. Instead, readers rely on habitual thought processes to decide what feels believable. An AI label appears to function as one of those shortcuts, but not in the way anyone intended. The researchers suggest one possible explanation. The label may draw on a widespread idea that AI is objective and data-driven. Misinformation, typically written to sound plausible, could benefit from that association. Accurate science posts, which tend to involve qualified claims and layered reasoning, may get hurt by it. A label saying “a machine made this” might signal cold, mechanical precision by chance, even when the content is flat-out wrong. Health posts are not simply claims. They are explanations. Readers must trust not just the facts but the reasoning behind them. An AI label may short-circuit that trust in accurate content while lending false authority to misinformation written to sound like settled fact. The researchers proposed one potential fix worth testing: pairing an AI warning label with a second label, something along the lines of a caution that the content has not been independently proven. Rather than letting the AI label carry all the interpretive weight, a two-part reminder might encourage more careful reading across the board. It’s an untested idea, but a logical direction given what the study found. 12. What causes the truth-falsity crossover effect? A. The AI label’s warning color. B. Accurate posts’ layered reasoning. C. Misinformation’s generous tone. D. Readers’ automatic thinking patterns. 13. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Optional. B. Authoritative. C. Different. D. False. 14. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Labels lack evidence to aid readers. B. Removing labels harms our interest. C. Adding extra labels reduces trust. D. Labels need further improving. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Accurate Posts Suffer from AI Labels B. Doubters Distrust True Labeled Posts C. AI Labels Can Mislead Public Judgment D. False Claims Can Profit from AI Labels 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了关于社交媒体AI标签的研究，结果显示存在“真假交叉效应”：AI标签反而让虚假信息更可信，却让准确信息不可信。这是因为读者依赖思维捷径，误认为AI代表客观。虚假信息因此获利，科学内容却受挫。研究人员建议改进标签策略，引导公众更审慎地判断信息。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, readers rely on habitual thought processes to decide what feels believable. An AI label appears to function as one of those shortcuts, but not in the way anyone intended.(相反，读者依靠惯常的思维过程来判断哪些内容是可信的。人工智能的标签似乎起到了某种捷径的作用，但并非如人们所期望的那样)”可知，读者的自动思维模式产生了“真假交叉效应”。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The label may draw on a widespread idea that AI is objective and data-driven. Misinformation, typically written to sound plausible, could benefit from that association. Accurate science posts, which tend to involve qualified claims and layered reasoning, may get hurt by it.(该标签可能会利用一种普遍的观点，即人工智能是客观且基于数据的。那些通常看似plausible虚假信息可能会因此而受益。而那些准确的科学帖子，往往包含有依据的论断和复杂的推理过程，可能会因此受到影响)”可知，人们普遍认为AI是客观的、数据驱动的，虚假信息通常写得听起来很“plausible”才能从这种联想中获益。结合选项，虚假信息往往通过伪装成权威、可信的样子来骗取信任，故plausible在此处意为“可信的、权威的”。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers proposed one potential fix worth testing: pairing an AI warning label with a second label, something along the lines of a caution that the content has not been independently proven. Rather than letting the AI label carry all the interpretive weight, a two-part reminder might encourage more careful reading across the board. It’s an untested idea, but a logical direction given what the study found.(研究人员提出了一个值得尝试的可能解决方案：在 AI 提示标签旁边再添加一个标签，比如类似“内容未经独立验证”的警示语。与其让 AI 标签独自承担所有的解释责任，不如采用双重提醒的方式，这样或许能促使人们更仔细地阅读。这是一个未经验证的想法，但鉴于研究结果，这是一个合乎逻辑的发展方向)”可知，目前的标签方式存在问题，需要进一步的考量或改进。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers chose 433 participants to evaluate science-related social media posts, some accurate and some false on purpose, covering food safety and disease prevention. Some posts carried a bright red warning: “Attention: The content was detected as being generated by AI.” Others did not. Participants rated how credible each post seemed to them.(研究人员挑选了433名参与者，对他们所看到的有关科学的社交媒体帖子进行评估，这些帖子中有些是真实的，有些则是故意编造的，内容涉及食品安全和疾病预防等方面。有些帖子还配有醒目的红色警示：“注意：该内容被检测出是由人工智能生成的。”而其他帖子则没有这样的警示。参与者对每条帖子在他们看来的可信度进行了评分)”结合文章主要介绍了一项研究发现：AI生成的警告标签反而产生了“真假交叉效应”，即让虚假信息显得更可信，让准确信息显得更不可信。这表明标签误导了公众的判断，C项“AI标签会误导公众判断”最能概括这一主旨，适合用作标题。 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。 If you’ve seen someone playing an instrument or singing in public with a hat for tips, you’ve seen a busker. Street performance has long been an important part of the arts, existing in various forms._____16_____After bringing happiness to people in public areas for a long time, it finally got the name “busking”. The word “busk” comes from the Spanish “buscar”, meaning “to seek or wander” Though the term officially appeared in the mid-1800s, busking dates back to ancient Rome, where musicians and actors performed on streets and at festivals. In the Middle Ages, minstrels (吟游诗人) traveled across Europe. ____17____ In the 1800s, street performance in America grew rapidly. Many kinds of performances could be seen everywhere on the streets._____18_____Performers sold “cure-alls” between small song or dance performances. Then, busking developed more quickly after the First Amendment was made into law. ____19____ In Japan, chindon’ya are costumed performers who walk through streets with music to promote businesses, a tradition starting in 1845 and still practiced occasionally. In India, Bhavai is a folk theater with short dramas and dances, known for criticizing social issues. Modern busking includes the performances in the 1960s, which mixed social action and celebration. Nowadays, busking continues to make cities lively and provide people with free entertainment._____20_____They included Louis Armstrong, Mike Rosenberg, Janis Joplin, and Ed Sheeran, and so on. Public spaces like London’s Covent Garden and Boston’s Faneuil Hall host creative acts, making the arts accessible to all. A. Another example is the folk theater form. B. Busking is not only popular in Western countries. C. But they faced restrictions due to noise complaints. D. Among them, medicine shows were especially popular. E. It offers entertainment to passers-by and supports local artists. F. Many famous artists began their careers through street performance. G. They exchanged their talents for money, food or shelter and spread art. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了街头表演的定义、名称由来及历史渊源。文章追溯了其从古代到19世纪的发展历程，并展示了它在全球各地的多样形式。最后，文章强调了其意义和作用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“If you’ve seen someone playing an instrument or singing in public with a hat for tips, you’ve seen a busker. Street performance has long been an important part of the arts, existing in various forms.(如果你曾看到有人在公共场合演奏乐器或唱歌，并拿着帽子接受观众的打赏，那你就见到过街头艺人了。街头表演长期以来一直是艺术的重要组成部分，有着多种形式)”以及后文“After bringing happiness to people in public areas for a long time, it finally got the name “busking”.(在长期为公共区域的人们带来欢乐之后，它最终获得了“街头表演”的这一名称)”可知，前文引入街头表演，说它是艺术的重要组成部分，后文提到它给人们带来快乐很久后才得名“busking”。E选项“它给路人提供娱乐，支撑本土艺术家”顺承介绍街头表演的作用，呼应后文的bringing happiness，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The word “busk” comes from the Spanish “buscar”, meaning “to seek or wander” Though the term officially appeared in the mid-1800s, busking dates back to ancient Rome, where musicians and actors performed on streets and at festivals. In the Middle Ages, minstrels (吟游诗人) traveled across Europe.(“busk”这个单词源自西班牙语“buscar”，意为“寻找或游荡”。尽管这个术语在19世纪中期才正式出现，但街头表演的历史可以追溯到古罗马时期，当时音乐家和演员会在街头和节日上进行表演。在中世纪，吟游诗人曾游历欧洲各地)”可知，本段主要讲述街头表演的历史演变。空前一句介绍了中世纪的吟游诗人，G项“他们用自己的才能换取金钱、食物或住所，并传播艺术”中的“They”指代前句的“minstrels”，具体描述了吟游诗人如何通过才艺谋生并传播艺术，是对前句内容的自然延伸。 【18题详解】 根据上文“In the 1800s, street performance in America grew rapidly. Many kinds of performances could be seen everywhere on the streets.(在19世纪，美国的街头表演迅速兴起。各种各样的表演在街头随处可见)”以及后文“Performers sold “cure-alls” between small song or dance performances. Then, busking developed more quickly after the First Amendment was made into law.(表演者会在小型歌舞表演间隙出售“万灵药”。随后，在《第一修正案》成为法律之后，街头表演的发展速度加快了)”可知，空前提到街头上可以看到许多种表演，空后则具体描述了表演者在歌舞间隙兜售“包治百病药”的场景。D项“其中，医药秀尤其受欢迎。”承上启下，其中“medicine shows”与后文的兜售药品行为紧密相关。 【19题详解】 根据后文“In Japan, chindon’ya are costumed performers who walk through streets with music to promote businesses, a tradition starting in 1845 and still practiced occasionally. In India, Bhavai is a folk theater with short dramas and dances, known for criticizing social issues.(在日本，“千登亚”是身着戏服、伴着音乐在街头巡游以推广商业活动的表演者，这一传统始于1845年，至今仍偶尔有人沿袭。在印度，巴瓦伊是一种包含短剧和舞蹈的民间戏剧，以批判社会问题而闻名)”可知，本空设于段首，为过渡句。后文分别介绍了日本和印度的街头表演形式，这表明本段旨在说明街头表演的全球性。前文主要涉及欧美，B项“街头表演不仅在西方国家流行”起到了很好的过渡作用。 【20题详解】 根据后文“They included Louis Armstrong, Mike Rosenberg, Janis Joplin, and Ed Sheeran, and so on. Public spaces like London’s Covent Garden and Boston’s Faneuil Hall host creative acts, making the arts accessible to all.(其中包括路易斯·阿姆斯特朗、迈克·罗森伯格、詹尼斯·乔普林以及艾德·希兰等。像伦敦的科文特花园和波士顿的凡尼尔大厅这样的公共场所也会举办各种创意活动，让艺术能够为所有人所享受)”可知，空后列举了路易斯·阿姆斯特朗、艾德·希兰等一系列著名艺人的名字，并用“They”指代。F项“许多著名艺术家通过街头表演开始了他们的职业生涯。”引出了这些艺人，与后文的人名列举形成对应关系。 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Cormac Blake was a new graduate working in a famous design company in London.

The flood had washed away parts of the road, leaving deep holes filled with muddy water and broken branches lying everywhere. As soon as the rescue call was sent out, Gwyneth, a college student, and Tobin, a local delivery driver, volunteered to bring food, water and blankets to the trapped people. They packed the supplies carefully and set off early in the morning. However, the heavy rain poured down nonstop, together with thick fog that cut down visibility to only a few meters. The road was hard to recognize — they got lost. The rain kept beating down harder, wetting their clothes through the windows. The strong wind made the truck shake slightly. Gwyneth and Tobin drove around helplessly, their hearts sinking with each passing minute. They stared at the map anxiously, looking worried. Tobin even stuck his head out of the window, only to be met by more heavy rain and thick fog. Worried that the villagers would soon run out of food and water, they felt hopeless about finding the right way. Just as they were about to stop and check the map again, they heard faint crying from a damaged house not far away. They rushed over, stepping carefully through the muddy pools, and found an old grandmother and her little granddaughter trapped on the second floor. Shaking with hunger, they had no clean water or dry clothes left. Gwyneth and Tobin did not hesitate to help. Tobin quickly climbed a weak ladder (梯子) to the second floor, while Gwyneth passed up bottled water and bread from their supplies. They handed the food to the two survivors gently. Gwyneth dried the girl’s wet face with a clean cloth and then wrapped her in a warm blanket. Tobin checked the house carefully, moving away loose pieces of the roof and broken wood to make sure it was safe from further danger. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During their talk, the grandmother learned of Gwyneth and Tobin’s trouble. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the grandmother as a guide, they headed for the village again. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： During their talk, the grandmother learned of Gwyneth and Tobin’s trouble. She looked at the two kind rescuers with gratitude and said firmly, “I’ve lived in this region all my life. I know the village very well, and even the narrow paths hidden by the flood are familiar to me. I’m sure that I can guide you to the village safely.” Hearing this, both Gwyneth and Tobin’s eyes lit up with hope. Immediately, they carefully helped the grandmother and her granddaughter into the truck. With the grandmother as a guide, they headed for the village again. The grandmother sat beside the window, pointing out the hidden paths through the thick fog and reminding them to avoid deep muddy holes and broken branches. Encountering a fallen tree blocking the road, Tobin got off to move it, while Gwyneth helped the grandmother hold the little girl tightly. The heavy rain gradually eased, and their confidence grew. After nearly an hour’s drive, they finally saw the village in the distance. The trapped villagers waved warmly when spotting the truck. Tobin and Gwyneth felt a great sense of relief, knowing their mission was successful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年夏天偏远山村突发洪水，道路被毁、路况恶劣。大学生格温妮丝和司机托宾志愿运送救灾物资，却因大雨浓雾迷路。途中他们救下被困的祖孙二人，得知二人困境后，老奶奶主动为他们引路。两人在老人指引下避开险路、清除障碍，最终顺利抵达村庄，成功把物资送到受灾村民手中。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写得知二人困境后，老奶奶主动为他们引路。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写两人在老人指引下避开险路、清除障碍，最终顺利抵达村庄，成功把物资送到受灾村民手中。 2.续写线索：得知困境——主动引路——避开危险——清除障碍——抵达村庄——送到物资 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看着：look at/stare at ②帮助：help/assist ③点亮：light up/brighten 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②安慰：relief/solace 【点睛】[高分句型1] I’m sure that I can guide you to the village safely.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] The trapped villagers waved warmly when spotting the truck.（运用了状语从句的省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级5月份学情调研 英语 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分120分。考试用时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，写在试题卷、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：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A National Art Pass A National Art Pass provides art enthusiasts with a wonderful chance to explore British cultural treasures in a cheap and convenient way.

B When it comes to chess, most casual fans could spend their entire lives studying a library’s worth of chess theory, only to still be routinely beaten by competitive players. The basic rules require a reasonable amount of time to memorize before anyone can make their first moves, something that has stopped many people ever trying the game. But what if there was a way to quickly improve your abilities without spending hours bending over the board? That’s what Fletcher Heisler wondered before starting the journey of designing, building, and playing a custom chess set capable of delivering a Taser-like shock whenever it detects an error. Heisler’s chess set was inspired by DIY projects like an electrified keyboard that gets its voltage (电压) from an adjusted TENS unit. Short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, a TENS machine typically relies on sticky skin pads (贴片) that channel low-voltage current to stimulate muscles and deep tissue. Treatment is intended to change or even block the sense of pain in patients. At most, a TENS unit is somewhat uncomfortable or annoying. Increase the voltage, and encounters become much more memorable, which is exactly what Heisler did. It ended up taking months of trial-and-error to create a functional electrified chessboard model though financial problems never weighed on his mind. Pain points included ensuring each piece properly conducted electricity, setting up every square with mechanical keyboard switches to facilitate the connections, and countless unintentional shocks. Math also didn’t work in Heisler’s favor. Since each chess square required wiring, every step needed repeating at least 64 times — or 128 times for two-part steps, and so on. The chessboard ultimately offers four different modes. For example, Illegal Mode shocks a player if they make a move that breaks the game’s movement rules. While transporting the invention to its first show at an annual all-things-STEM event, he opened his suitcase to a broken chessboard not once, but twice. Thankfully, he rebuilt the machine and showed off his device. The world finally witnessed his idea come true. 4. Why did Heisler design the special chess set? A. To train professional players. B. To help learn chess quickly. C. To simplify basic chess rules. D. To test the electric shock. 5. What does a TENS unit work as? A. A smart chess game engine. B. An electric chess component. C. A medical pain-relief device. D. A human skin protection tool. 6. What mainly troubled Heisler in building the chessboard? A. The tough and repetitive work. B. The shortage of math knowledge. C. The breakdown of the chess engine. D. The high cost of every material. 7. What can we learn from Heisler’s story? A. One should never give up easily. B. High tech ensures learning efficiency. C. Financial support is the key to success. D. Creativity helps solve practical problems. C Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, drilling into solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while striking so hard? To study how the birds peck, Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his team first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully placed electrodes (电极) into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during effort (like weightlifters tend to do) or breathed out (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers’ pecks down to every four milliseconds. To control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors — the muscles in the upper leg that help the leg move forward — to push forward, tightened their tail and abs (腹部) to prepare for the strike, and tightened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might tighten the back of your wrist when you hit a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back. The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp outbreaths “as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains. “To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and breathe in on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.” Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing. 8. What did Antonson and his team do during the experiment? A. They adopted multiple methods. B. They conducted it in the wild. C. They checked the birds’ weight lifting. D. They tried to control the birds’ muscles. 9. In what way did the woodpeckers peck? A. They held breath while striking. B. They employed full-body muscles. C. They depended on their hard head. D. They relaxed their whole bodies. 10. Why does the author mention songbirds in the last paragraph? A. To highlight woodpeckers’ rare ability. B. To show woodpeckers’ core muscles’ role. C. To explain their connection with woodpeckers. D. To note woodpeckers’ sharp outbreaths’ origin. 11. How does the author explain the researchers’ findings overall? A. By listing statistics. B. By defining concepts. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving practical examples. D Researchers chose 433 participants to evaluate science-related social media posts, some accurate and some false on purpose, covering food safety and disease prevention. Some posts carried a bright red warning: “Attention: The content was detected as being generated by AI.” Others did not. Participants rated how credible each post seemed to them. When a false health post carried the AI label, participants rated it as more credible than the same false post without it. Accurate posts showed the opposite: The label made them seem less trustworthy. Researchers described this as a “truth-falsity crossover effect”. To understand why, consider how most people actually read social media. Nobody is fact-checking claims while reading. Instead, readers rely on habitual thought processes to decide what feels believable. An AI label appears to function as one of those shortcuts, but not in the way anyone intended. The researchers suggest one possible explanation. The label may draw on a widespread idea that AI is objective and data-driven. Misinformation, typically written to sound plausible, could benefit from that association. Accurate science posts, which tend to involve qualified claims and layered reasoning, may get hurt by it. A label saying “a machine made this” might signal cold, mechanical precision by chance, even when the content is flat-out wrong. Health posts are not simply claims. They are explanations. Readers must trust not just the facts but the reasoning behind them. An AI label may short-circuit that trust in accurate content while lending false authority to misinformation written to sound like settled fact. The researchers proposed one potential fix worth testing: pairing an AI warning label with a second label, something along the lines of a caution that the content has not been independently proven. Rather than letting the AI label carry all the interpretive weight, a two-part reminder might encourage more careful reading across the board. It’s an untested idea, but a logical direction given what the study found. 12. What causes the truth-falsity crossover effect? A. The AI label’s warning color. B. Accurate posts’ layered reasoning. C. Misinformation’s generous tone. D. Readers’ automatic thinking patterns. 13. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Optional. B. Authoritative. C. Different. D. False. 14. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Labels lack evidence to aid readers. B. Removing labels harms our interest. C. Adding extra labels reduces trust. D. Labels need further improving. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Accurate Posts Suffer from AI Labels B. Doubters Distrust True Labeled Posts C. AI Labels Can Mislead Public Judgment D. False Claims Can Profit from AI Labels 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。 If you’ve seen someone playing an instrument or singing in public with a hat for tips, you’ve seen a busker.

The flood had washed away parts of the road, leaving deep holes filled with muddy water and broken branches lying everywhere. As soon as the rescue call was sent out, Gwyneth, a college student, and Tobin, a local delivery driver, volunteered to bring food, water and blankets to the trapped people. They packed the supplies carefully and set off early in the morning. However, the heavy rain poured down nonstop, together with thick fog that cut down visibility to only a few meters. The road was hard to recognize — they got lost. The rain kept beating down harder, wetting their clothes through the windows. The strong wind made the truck shake slightly. Gwyneth and Tobin drove around helplessly, their hearts sinking with each passing minute. They stared at the map anxiously, looking worried. Tobin even stuck his head out of the window, only to be met by more heavy rain and thick fog. Worried that the villagers would soon run out of food and water, they felt hopeless about finding the right way. Just as they were about to stop and check the map again, they heard faint crying from a damaged house not far away. They rushed over, stepping carefully through the muddy pools, and found an old grandmother and her little granddaughter trapped on the second floor. Shaking with hunger, they had no clean water or dry clothes left. Gwyneth and Tobin did not hesitate to help. Tobin quickly climbed a weak ladder (梯子) to the second floor, while Gwyneth passed up bottled water and bread from their supplies. They handed the food to the two survivors gently. Gwyneth dried the girl’s wet face with a clean cloth and then wrapped her in a warm blanket. Tobin checked the house carefully, moving away loose pieces of the roof and broken wood to make sure it was safe from further danger. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During their talk, the grandmother learned of Gwyneth and Tobin’s trouble. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the grandmother as a guide, they headed for the village again. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
