No matter the breed of your dog, there’s an option for them! 1. Dog Agility (敏捷) One of the most popular dog sports in the United States, agility is a test of both physical and mental ability. Agility competitions feature an obstacle course that a dog must run in the fastest time possible, guided by their owner. The course has various walkways, jumps, tunnels, A-frames, and more, all of which must be completed in order and as fast as possible. 2. Dog Flyball Competitions Flyball is a great competition for fast, energetic dogs. The sport is a type of relay race with teams of four dogs, racing down a stretch of jumps and getting back a ball from a “flyball box, “ which is set off by the dog stepping on it, and then returning the ball back to the start, where the next dog is sent off. The team that completes the course in the fastest time wins. It is exciting to watch! 3. Trick Dog As the name suggests, “trick dog” is a competition in which you teach your dog a short routine (4–6 minutes) of unique tricks that are then assessed by a team of judges. The routine can involve multiple tricks, music, and costumes. Best of all, the competition has been done actually in recent years, and you can compete from the comfort of your own home via video submission. 1. What do we learn about Dog Agility Competition? A. It only tests speed and strength. B. The dog can choose its own route. C. The owner and the dog act independently. D. Concentration and discipline matter. 2. Which quality is valued more in Trick Dog than Flyball competitions? A. Teamwork. B. Speed. C. Creativity. D. Energy. 3. Who is the text mainly written for? A. Dog judges. B. Dog owners. C. Dog scientists. D. Dog video bloggers. B In October 2024, my overconfidence in my own strength left me with a lower back injury. Days later, the pain began radiating down the sciatic nerve in my left leg. Standing was fine, but sitting was torture (折磨). In order to sleep, I had to slide a pillow underneath my legs to keep the downward-pulsing shockwaves at bay. In mid-December, I saw a pain medicine specialist. Once a week, I went in, got a soft-tissue massage and did well-supervised exercises and stretches. My pain wasn’t gone, but it was finally under control. Meanwhile, I’ve also been seeing a new physio from Flok Health, the first AI clinic in the UK. When I first opened Flok, I was greeted by Kirsty, my therapist (理疗师). In our first session, Kirsty asked me questions about my pain, and I responded by clicking multiple-choice options. Rather than being a live video call, this interaction is a series of pre-recorded videos stitched (拼接) together by AI based on my answers. She asked me to follow her careful lead on the screen to decide the best course of treatment. She gave me stretches and exercises to try for the week ahead, with careful instructions not to push too hard or do anything that feels uncomfortable. Unlike my human physical therapists who corrected my posture and told me when I was doing something wrong, Kirsty can’t see me. As to these AI tools, Elizabeth Stuart, a professor, said, “They are no different from other healthcare interventions. But sometimes they are a black box, changing under the hood in real time. We need to assess carefully how well they work and who they work for. While we don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to AI, we do need to recognize these systems keep evolving. With some AI tools, they are sort of self-adapting.” My back felt better after my sessions with Flok, but the app likely isn’t for me. I’m clumsy and uncoordinated and need someone watching my form at all times — if not, I’m likely to hurt myself further. That ability to watch patients and offer feedback on posture could be something AI will enable in the future — but until then, I’ll be sticking with the humans. 4. Why is the author’s back pain mentioned? A. To introduce the AI physio service. B. To stress the severity of the back pain. C. To complain about the healthcare system. D. To highlight the importance of overconfidence. 5. What did Kirsty fail to do in treating the author’s back pain? A. Inquire about my previous symptoms. B. Request me to follow her instructions. C. Address the author’s posture errors timely. D. Suggest stretches and exercises next week. 6. What’s Stuart’s view on AI health tools? A. Build new assessment rules. B. Replace with black-box tech. C. See them as a new care intervention. D. Evaluate them with a forward-looking view. 7. What can we infer about the author’s future choice of therapy? A. Mainly use AI tools. B. Keep human therapists. C. Switch to a new AI app. D. Stop all therapy sessions. C Over the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo. For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them. OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls smart home devices and more. What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications. Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction. However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI. The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’s University of Melbourne told Forbes. 8. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage? A. They can do tasks actively without prompts. B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw. C. They wait for prompts to react inactively. D. They can control smart home devices automatically. 9. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI? A. It needs a browser tab open all the time. B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively. C. It only provides information but does nothing. D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer. 10. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat”? A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever. B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other. C. It protects users from hackers and security risks. D. It enables the AI to wake up to check tasks every half an hour. 11. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw? A. Because it may contribute to severe safety threats. B. Because it is too expensive for ordinary users. C. Because it cannot work well in chat apps. D. Because it has no long-term memory. D If just seeing someone take up two parking spots makes your blood boil, or you lie in bed each night replaying in your mind that someone took credit for your hard work, you know how difficult it is to let go of a grudge. Holding a complaint can somehow bring a strange sense of satisfaction, as if you’re proving that you’ve been unfairly wronged by others. However, unresolved hurt can be emotionally tiring, and forgiveness, when it is safe and appropriate, may help loosen some of that stress. A new study shows that being a forgiving kind benefits both your body and mind. The researchers investigated “dispositional forgiveness” — a person’s forgiving nature. Being high in it seems to give you an edge on many fronts, including psychological well-being, purpose in life, relationship satisfaction and hope. What happens in your brain when you get past a hurt? Brain imaging studies show its powerful and fast-acting effects: Letting go of an offense activates pathways and parts of the brain that improve resilience (恢复力) to adversity and social bonds, according to a study review in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews. The good news is that anyone can learn this vital skill — being forgiving. How? To begin with, understand that the real reason you hold onto hurt is that you’re disappointed with how something turned out. As Fred Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects, puts it, “I’d heard similar stories that amounted to. I had this picture of how it was supposed to go, and then this other thing happened, and I couldn’t forgive that difference’. Forgiveness is about accepting life’s imperfections, making peace with the world telling you ‘no’.” Some people find it much harder to forgive others, especially self-centered people and those with very reactive nervous systems that get fired up quickly. “Forgiveness often unfolds gradually, rather than all at once,” Scientist Richard Cowden notes. “It may help to think of it as a muscle that can be built with practice.” 12. What does the underlined word “grudge” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A cruel punishment. B. A past mistake. C. A sense of relief. D. A feeling of anger. 13. What effect does forgiveness have on the brain? A. It helps build the defense against life’s hardships. B. It reduces the activity of negative brain pathways. C. It slows down the reaction of the nervous system. D. It improves the ability to make immediate decision. 14. What prevents people from forgiving according to Fred Luskin? A. Their refusal to admit their own mistakes. B. Their discontent with the unmet expectation. C. Their lack of trust in other people’s good will. D. Their fear of suffering from similar hurt again. 15. What does Richard Cowden say about forgiveness? A. It emerges quickly. B. It uses little energy. C. It can be trained gradually. D. It belongs to certain people. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Pickleball: A Fastest-Growing Sport Ready to learn how to play pickleball? You’re not alone. ____16____ The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. ____17____ It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball. The 7-foot area on each side of the net is called “kitchen”, where players aren’t allowed to hit volleys (a shot hit out of the air). Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve-hitting the ball diagonally (成对角线) to the receiver. It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis. ____18____ And if your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally (对抗), you get the point. What is the two-bounce rule in pickleball? It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air. ____19____ If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side. Once the two-bounce rule is met, all players are free to move to the kitchen and start volleying. The game continues until one team gets 11 points. However, they must win by 2. That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19. ____20____ A. The sport is tons of fun. B. These are often the most exciting games. C. Otherwise, the serving team gains an advantage. D. Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air. E. Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis. F. That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen. G. Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date. 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。 Watering my plants and watching my grandkids run around my vegetable garden, I was filled with joy.

My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my company. As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window. Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car. Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated. Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside. I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon, he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.’ To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same, and so had the other residents of the nursing home. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置 作答。 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026学年（下）高二中期质量评估 英语 注意事项： 1. 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡的相应位置。 3. 全部答案在答题卡上完成，答在本试题卷上无效。 4. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 5. 考试结束后，将本试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 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2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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

The course has various walkways, jumps, tunnels, A-frames, and more, all of which must be completed in order and as fast as possible.( 在美国，犬类敏捷赛是最受欢迎的运动项目之一，它考验着犬类的体能和智力。犬类敏捷赛的比赛场地设有障碍赛道，参赛犬需在主人的引导下以最快的速度完成跑完全程。赛道上有各种步道、跳跃区、隧道、A 形结构等，所有项目必须按顺序完成，并且要尽可能快地完成。)”可推知，关于“犬类敏捷比赛”我们能了解到集中注意力和遵守规则很重要。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dog Flyball Competitions中“Flyball is a great competition for fast, energetic dogs.( 飞球是一项非常适合速度极快且精力充沛的狗狗参与的运动。)”以及“The team that completes the course in the fastest time wins.( 完成比赛用时最短的团队获胜。)”核心是看重速度、活力、团队协作（四人团队接力）、Trick Dog中“As the name suggests, “trick dog” is a competition in which you teach your dog a short routine (4–6 minutes) of unique tricks that are then assessed by a team of judges. The routine can involve multiple tricks, music, and costumes.( 顾名思义，“特技犬”是一项竞赛活动，在此活动中，您需教您的犬只完成一段独特的短流程（4 至 6 分钟）的表演技巧，然后由一组评委进行评估。该流程可以包含多种技巧、音乐和服装。)”核心是创意性，需要主人和狗狗设计独特的表演流程。由此可知，“特技犬”比“狗狗飞球比赛”更看重创造力。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“If you are thinking of competing with your dog, there is no shortage of options, with over 20, 000 events every year!( 如果你打算和你的狗狗一起参加比赛，那可真是有很多选择呢，每年的比赛多达两万场之多！)”可知，文章开篇以 “你想和狗狗一起参赛”切入，介绍的三类比赛均需要主人与狗狗配合完成（引导、教技巧、组队等），核心受众是狗狗主人。故选B项。 B In October 2024, my overconfidence in my own strength left me with a lower back injury. Days later, the pain began radiating down the sciatic nerve in my left leg. Standing was fine, but sitting was torture (折磨). In order to sleep, I had to slide a pillow underneath my legs to keep the downward-pulsing shockwaves at bay. In mid-December, I saw a pain medicine specialist. Once a week, I went in, got a soft-tissue massage and did well-supervised exercises and stretches. My pain wasn’t gone, but it was finally under control. Meanwhile, I’ve also been seeing a new physio from Flok Health, the first AI clinic in the UK. When I first opened Flok, I was greeted by Kirsty, my therapist (理疗师). In our first session, Kirsty asked me questions about my pain, and I responded by clicking multiple-choice options. Rather than being a live video call, this interaction is a series of pre-recorded videos stitched (拼接) together by AI based on my answers. She asked me to follow her careful lead on the screen to decide the best course of treatment. She gave me stretches and exercises to try for the week ahead, with careful instructions not to push too hard or do anything that feels uncomfortable. Unlike my human physical therapists who corrected my posture and told me when I was doing something wrong, Kirsty can’t see me. As to these AI tools, Elizabeth Stuart, a professor, said, “They are no different from other healthcare interventions. But sometimes they are a black box, changing under the hood in real time. We need to assess carefully how well they work and who they work for. While we don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to AI, we do need to recognize these systems keep evolving. With some AI tools, they are sort of self-adapting.” My back felt better after my sessions with Flok, but the app likely isn’t for me. I’m clumsy and uncoordinated and need someone watching my form at all times — if not, I’m likely to hurt myself further. That ability to watch patients and offer feedback on posture could be something AI will enable in the future — but until then, I’ll be sticking with the humans. 4. Why is the author’s back pain mentioned? A. To introduce the AI physio service. B. To stress the severity of the back pain. C. To complain about the healthcare system. D. To highlight the importance of overconfidence. 5. What did Kirsty fail to do in treating the author’s back pain? A. Inquire about my previous symptoms. B. Request me to follow her instructions. C. Address the author’s posture errors timely. D. Suggest stretches and exercises next week. 6. What’s Stuart’s view on AI health tools? A. Build new assessment rules. B. Replace with black-box tech. C. See them as a new care intervention. D. Evaluate them with a forward-looking view. 7. What can we infer about the author’s future choice of therapy? A. Mainly use AI tools. B. Keep human therapists. C. Switch to a new AI app. D. Stop all therapy sessions. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者2024年10月因过度自信致下背受伤，12月中旬开始接受疼痛专科医生治疗，同时体验了英国首家AI诊所Flok Health的理疗服务。作者介绍了AI理疗师Kirsty的治疗方式，还引用教授对AI健康工具的看法，最后表明因自身协调性差，未来仍会选择人类理疗师。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 “Meanwhile, I’ve also been seeing a new physio from Flok Health, the first AI clinic in the UK. When I first opened Flok, I was greeted by Kirsty, my therapist (理疗师). (与此同时，我还在英国第一家人工智能诊所 Flok Health 看了一位新的理疗师。我第一次打开Flok时，迎接我的是我的理疗师柯尔斯蒂)”可知，作者先讲述自己背痛的经历及常规治疗，随后引出在Flok Health 诊所接受AI理疗服务，所以提及背痛是为了引出AI理疗服务这一话题。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike my human physical therapists who corrected my posture and told me when I was doing something wrong, Kirsty can’t see me.(与人类理疗师不同，他们会纠正我的姿势并告诉我何时做错了，而Kirsty看不到我)”可知，Kirsty在治疗作者背痛时，未能及时指出作者的姿势错误。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“As to these AI tools, Elizabeth Stuart, a professor, said, “They are no different from other healthcare interventions. But sometimes they are a black box, changing under the ho od in real time. We need to assess carefully how well they work and who they work for. While we don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to AI, we do need to recognize these systems keep evolving. With some AI tools, they are sort of self-adapting.(至于这些人工智能工具，伊丽莎白·斯图尔特教授说：“它们与其他医疗干预措施没有区别。但有时它们就像一个黑匣子，在幕后实时变化。我们需要仔细评估它们的效果以及对哪些人有效我们需要仔细评估它们的运行效果以及它们为谁服务。在人工智能方面，我们无需重复造轮子（做无谓的重复工作），但确实要认识到这些系统在不断迭代发展。部分人工智能工具还具备一定的自适应能力。”)”可知，斯图尔特教授认为需要用前瞻性的眼光评估AI健康工具。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That ability to watch patients and offer feedback on posture could be something AI will enable in the future — but until then, I’ll be sticking with the humans.(能够观察患者并就姿势提供反馈可能是AI未来会具备的能力——但在那之前，我会继续选择人类理疗师)”可知，作者未来会继续选择人类理疗师。 C Over the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo. For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them. OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls smart home devices and more. What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications. Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction. However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI. The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’s University of Melbourne told Forbes. 8. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage? A. They can do tasks actively without prompts. B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw. C. They wait for prompts to react inactively. D. They can control smart home devices automatically. 9. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI? A. It needs a browser tab open all the time. B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively. C. It only provides information but does nothing. D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer. 10. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat”? A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever. B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other. C. It protects users from hackers and security risks. D. It enables the AI to wake up to check tasks every half an hour. 11. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw? A. Because it may contribute to severe safety threats. B. Because it is too expensive for ordinary users. C. Because it cannot work well in chat apps. D. Because it has no long-term memory. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍中国用户所说的“养龙虾”指训练AI代理OpenClaw，及其功能、独特优势，同时说明其存在的安全风险及相关警示。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them.(虽然它们很有用，但它们被动地等待提示词来回应。此外，它们可以告诉用户该做什么，但不能为用户执行任务)”可知，像ChatGPT这样的生成式人工智能模型会被动等待提示词做出反应。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications.(真正让OpenClaw与众不同的是它的长期“记忆”。据《计算机网络》报道，即使在关闭后，这款人工智能也会保存数据，使其能够“记住”过去的对话。随着时间的推移，它会了解你的偏好，跟踪你的项目，并向你发送积极主动的通知)”可知，OpenClaw与其他人工智能的不同之处在于它有长期记忆且能主动工作。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run.(正如美国初创公司LaunchDarkly的首席技术官克莱尔·沃在社交媒体平台X上解释的那样，OpenClaw的“心跳”每30分钟发生一次，用户可以调整。每一次滴答声，人工智能都会醒来检查准备运行的任务)”可知，OpenClaw的“心跳”功能能让人工智能每半小时醒来检查任务。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI.(然而，OpenClaw的能力伴随着严重的风险。据中国环球电视网报道，今年2月，研究人员在网上发现了超过4万个OpenClaw实例，其中超过60%存在可能让黑客获得控制权的问题。3月8日和10日，中国政府发布了两次官方警报——这是首次专门针对智能体人工智能的警告)”可知，中国政府发布关于OpenClaw的官方警报是因为它可能带来严重的安全威胁。 D If just seeing someone take up two parking spots makes your blood boil, or you lie in bed each night replaying in your mind that someone took credit for your hard work, you know how difficult it is to let go of a grudge. Holding a complaint can somehow bring a strange sense of satisfaction, as if you’re proving that you’ve been unfairly wronged by others. However, unresolved hurt can be emotionally tiring, and forgiveness, when it is safe and appropriate, may help loosen some of that stress. A new study shows that being a forgiving kind benefits both your body and mind. The researchers investigated “dispositional forgiveness” — a person’s forgiving nature. Being high in it seems to give you an edge on many fronts, including psychological well-being, purpose in life, relationship satisfaction and hope. What happens in your brain when you get past a hurt? Brain imaging studies show its powerful and fast-acting effects: Letting go of an offense activates pathways and parts of the brain that improve resilience (恢复力) to adversity and social bonds, according to a study review in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews. The good news is that anyone can learn this vital skill — being forgiving. How? To begin with, understand that the real reason you hold onto hurt is that you’re disappointed with how something turned out. As Fred Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects, puts it, “I’d heard similar stories that amounted to. I had this picture of how it was supposed to go, and then this other thing happened, and I couldn’t forgive that difference’. Forgiveness is about accepting life’s imperfections, making peace with the world telling you ‘no’.” Some people find it much harder to forgive others, especially self-centered people and those with very reactive nervous systems that get fired up quickly. “Forgiveness often unfolds gradually, rather than all at once,” Scientist Richard Cowden notes. “It may help to think of it as a muscle that can be built with practice.” 12. What does the underlined word “grudge” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A cruel punishment. B. A past mistake. C. A sense of relief. D. A feeling of anger. 13. What effect does forgiveness have on the brain? A. It helps build the defense against life’s hardships. B. It reduces the activity of negative brain pathways. C. It slows down the reaction of the nervous system. D. It improves the ability to make immediate decision. 14. What prevents people from forgiving according to Fred Luskin? A. Their refusal to admit their own mistakes. B. Their discontent with the unmet expectation. C. Their lack of trust in other people’s good will. D. Their fear of suffering from similar hurt again. 15. What does Richard Cowden say about forgiveness? A. It emerges quickly. B. It uses little energy. C. It can be trained gradually. D. It belongs to certain people. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了宽恕这一重要能力对人的身心益处，以及如何学会宽恕。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“If just seeing someone take up two parking spots makes your blood boil, or you lie in bed each night replaying in your mind that someone took credit for your hard work,(只要看到有人一个车占两个停车位就让你怒火中烧，或是每晚躺在床上反复回想：别人抢走了你辛苦付出的功劳)”可知，上文列举了让人愤怒的两件事：别人霸占两个停车位、窃取自己的劳动成果，这两件事让人们明白放下心中的怨恨有多难。由此可知，grudge意为“怨气、愤恨”。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Letting go of an offense activates pathways and parts of the brain that improve resilience (恢复力) to adversity and social bonds.(放下他人的冒犯行为，会激活大脑的神经通路与相关区域，从而增强人的逆境抗压能力，并促进人际交往联结。)”可知，宽恕对大脑的影响是有助于建立抵御生活困境的能力。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To begin with, understand that the real reason you hold onto hurt is that you’re disappointed with how something turned out.(首先要明白，你一直放不下伤痛的真正原因，是你对事情最终的结局感到失望。)”和“I had this picture of how it was supposed to go, and then this other thing happened, and I couldn’t forgive that difference.(我原本预想事情本该是某种发展走向，结果却发生了完全不一样的状况，而我始终无法释怀这种落差。)”可知，Fred Luskin 认为人们放不下伤害、不愿原谅，是因为事情结局和自己预期不符，对未达成的期望感到失望不满。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““Forgiveness often unfolds gradually, rather than all at once,” Scientist Richard Cowden notes. “It may help to think of it as a muscle that can be built with practice.”(科学家理查德・考登指出：“宽恕往往是慢慢释怀的，而非一蹴而就。不妨把它看作一块肌肉，勤加练习就能慢慢练就。”)”可知，宽恕可以循序渐进训练习得。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Pickleball: A Fastest-Growing Sport Ready to learn how to play pickleball? You’re not alone. ____16____ The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. ____17____ It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball. The 7-foot area on each side of the net is called “kitchen”, where players aren’t allowed to hit volleys (a shot hit out of the air). Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve-hitting the ball diagonally (成对角线) to the receiver. It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis. ____18____ And if your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally (对抗), you get the point. What is the two-bounce rule in pickleball? It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air. ____19____ If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side. Once the two-bounce rule is met, all players are free to move to the kitchen and start volleying. The game continues until one team gets 11 points. However, they must win by 2. That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19. ____20____ A. The sport is tons of fun. B. These are often the most exciting games. C. Otherwise, the serving team gains an advantage. D. Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air. E. Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis. F. That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen. G. Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍了快速发展的运动匹克球，包括其普及程度、运动规则、得分方式及相关特殊规定。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You’re not alone.(你不是一个人)”以及下文“The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.(国际匹克球联合会正努力确保匹克球成为2028年洛杉矶奥运会的一部分)”可知，此处应体现匹克球的普及程度，说明有很多人参与这项运动。G选项“Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date.(截至目前，匹克球在84个国家拥有超过500万玩家)”既呼应了上文“不是一个人”，又为下文其有望进入奥运会做了铺垫。 【17题详解】 根据下文“It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball.(它在羽毛球大小的球场上进行，球网高度为36英寸，使用方形球拍和一个尺寸与网球相似的塑料球)”可知，此处应总述匹克球的运动特点，体现其与其他运动的关联。E选项“Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis.(匹克球借鉴了网球、羽毛球和乒乓球的特点)”中的网球、羽毛球与下文的球场、球拍、球的描述相呼应，引出下文对匹克球场地和器材的介绍。 【18题详解】 根据上文“It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis.(它不像网球那样是一种强大的攻击性武器)”可知，此处应转折说明匹克球发球的目的。D选项“Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air.(相反，其目的只是为了让球保持在空中)”中的Instead呼应上文的否定表述，明确匹克球发球的核心目的，与下文得分规则衔接自然。 【19题详解】 根据上文“It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air.(这意味着发球后，球必须在双方场地各弹跳一次，然后任何人才能凌空击球)”以及下文“If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side.(如果你站得离网很近，你不能合法地凌空击球，因为只有在球在双方场地都弹跳过之后，你才能凌空击球)”可知，此处应解释双弹跳规则的意义或相关注意事项。F选项“That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen.(这就是为什么发球方从限制区开始发球是没有意义的)”中的That指代上文的双弹跳规则，kitchen与下文standing close to the net相呼应，衔接上下文。 【20题详解】 根据上文“That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19.(这意味着10比10不算结束，11比10也不算结束。你可能会看到12比10、15比13甚至21比19的最终比分)”可知，此处应描述这种比分带来的感受或特点。B选项“These are often the most exciting games.(这些通常是最激动人心的比赛)”中的These指代上文提到的胶着比分，符合语境，总结了这种比分的比赛特点。 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。 Watering my plants and watching my grandkids run around my vegetable garden, I was filled with joy.

I firmly believe we should trust our first impressions. They are often our instinctive and honest reactions, guiding us correctly in most cases. I still remember my new deskmate last term. On the first day, he looked quiet and polite, which left me with a feeling that he was kind and helpful. As time went by, my first impression proved right. He was always ready to lend a hand, explaining difficult problems patiently and keeping our desk tidy. First impressions are like a warm ray of light. They help us see a person quickly and often accurately. Trusting them is indeed a wise choice. Should You Trust Your First Impressions? In my opinion, first impressions are not always reliable. Although they can offer quick insights, they are often based on limited information. I still remember my first day at high school. I met my classmate Li Hua, who spoke little and kept a straight face. I thought he was cold and unfriendly, so I stayed away from him. However, weeks later we were paired for a project. To my surprise, he turned out to be warm and always ready to lend me a hand. This experience taught me that first impressions are like the cover of a book. Sometimes they fool you. True understanding takes time and an open heart. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以“Should You Trust Your First Impressions?”为主题，为学校英文报写一篇征文，内容包括表达观点和分享个人经历。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 信任：trust → have faith in 指引：guide → direct 帮助：help→ assist 选择：choice→ option 2. 句式拓展 合并句子 原句：First impressions are like a warm ray of light.

(运用了现在分词作状语) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was July, the final day of the school year. My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my company. As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window. Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car. Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated. Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside. I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon, he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.’ To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same, and so had the other residents of the nursing home. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置 作答。 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. When I asked if I could bring balloons inside, Daniel nodded, “It’s been a while since something cheerful came through the door.” Hearing this, I jogged to the car, gathered the strings from the backseat and the balloons were immediately freed, floating gloriously in the air. One by one, I handed them out to the residents inside, whose faces softened and even brightened up as the colors reached them. I could hear it, this sudden rustle of joy. Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. Sometimes with balloons, sometimes with drawings my students made, our visits always began in the shade outside. Though he never said so, I could tell he waited for me. I did too for his voice, low and soft, was so much like Dad’s. I was grateful for the silence we shared when words weren’t needed. Through these visits, the city felt less foreign, but more like home. When I made it back home some day, I would tell Dad how a man brought him back to me, and how a handful of balloons, unexpectedly, lit up everything. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了学年结束作者因没钱回家陪父亲满心伤感，驾车途中偶遇冷清养老院，将多余气球送给独居老人丹尼尔及院里其他老人，给他们带去欢乐。此后半年作者常前去探望，暖心陪伴慰藉了彼此孤独，也让这座陌生城市有了家的温度。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者将多余气球送给独居老人丹尼尔及院里其他老人，给他们带去欢乐。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写此后半年作者常前去探望，暖心陪伴慰藉了彼此孤独，也让这座陌生城市有了家的温度。 2.续写线索：送去气球——老人开心——常去探望——慰藉孤独——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①点亮：brighten up/light up/lighten ②释放：free/release ③需要：need/require 情绪类 ①意外：unexpectedly/accidentally ②感谢：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] One by one, I handed them out to the residents inside, whose faces softened and even brightened up as the colors reached them.（运用了whose引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] I was grateful for the silence we shared when words weren’t needed.（运用了省略了关系词的定语从句以及when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
