With this climb, he became the youngest person ever to top all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks. Once he descended, Nima shared the video online under the tag (标签) “Sherpapower”, spreading the message that his people were athletes in their own right, not just guides of foreign climbers. For nearly 120 years, Sherpas have served as porters and guides for foreign climbers seeking glory on the world’s highest peaks, which makes them so closely linked to this work that many westerners mistake the word “Sherpa” for a job, not an ethnicity (民族). During his first mountain climbing, an avalanche (雪崩) claimed the lives of his best friend, Lama, and his client on their summit push. He saw how Sherpas sacrificed their own safety and even lives to help others summit. It was at that moment that he began to use the word “sherpapower” with new purpose of being a voice for his community. To achieve this, Nima has to be a professional climber sponsored by brands like the Red Bull. The brands seldom sponsor mountaineers who follow trade routes on fixed ropes. His 14-peaks record hasn’t been enough to earn sponsorships. But for him, sponsorships mean dignity instead of money. He had to explore new routes or peaks without bottled oxygen or fixed ropes. Therefore, two months after setting his record, Nima was preparing for his next project. Alongside famed Italian climber Moro, he was attempting a winter climbing of 8,163-meter Manaslu, which was eventually cancelled due to extreme conditions. Nima immediately planned another attempt on Manaslu for next winter with his partner. It remains to be seen if Nima will be the breakthrough athlete he wants to be. After all, he’s only 18. 4. What did Nima aim to challenge by sharing the video with the tag “Sherpapower”? A. The long-held assumption that Sherpas are merely climbing assistants. B. The climbing records previously set by young mountaineers from the West. C. The foreign climbers’ practice of seeking glory on the world’s highest peaks. D. The idea that mountaineering glory belongs only to those who are sponsored. 5. What does the underlined word “claimed” mean in paragraph 3? A. Maintained. B. Guarded. C. Spared. D. Took. 6. Why did Nima seek a different climbing route? A. To compete with top-class athletes. B. To qualify as a professional climber. C. To build his fortune in outdoor industry. D. To get recognised as an experienced guide. 7. Which of the following best describes Nima? A. Modest and warm-hearted. B. Carefree and strong-willed. C. Straightforward and well-mannered. D. Determined and ethnically conscious. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述18岁夏尔巴登山者Nima登顶14座8000米高峰，并以“Sherpapower”为族群正名的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once he descended, Nima shared the video online under the tag (标签) “Sherpapower”, spreading the message that his people were athletes in their own right, not just guides of foreign climbers. For nearly 120 years, Sherpas have served as porters and guides for foreign climbers seeking glory on the world’s highest peaks, which makes them so closely linked to this work that many westerners mistake the word “Sherpa” for a job, not an ethnicity (民族).(Nima一下山，便在网上分享了这段视频，并带有“Sherpapower”的标签，传达了他的族人本身就是运动员，而不仅仅是外国登山者的向导的信息。近120年来，夏尔巴人一直为那些渴望在世界最高峰上取得成就的外国登山者充当搬运工和向导，因此他们与这项工作的联系如此紧密，以至于许多西方人将“Sherpa”这个词误认为是一种职业，而非一个民族)”可知，他旨在挑战夏尔巴人只是助手的固有偏见。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“During his first mountain climbing, an avalanche claimed the lives of his best friend, Lama, and his client on their summit push.(在他第一次登山时，一场雪崩claimed他最好的朋友Lama和客户的生命)”可知，雪崩夺走的是生命。claimed在此处意为“夺走（生命）”，与took同义。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“To achieve this, Nima has to be a professional climber sponsored by brands like the Red Bull. The brands seldom sponsor mountaineers who follow trade routes on fixed ropes.(为了实现这一目标，Nima必须成为红牛等品牌赞助的职业登山者。这些品牌很少赞助那些沿着固定绳索走贸易路线的登山者)”以及“He had to explore new routes or peaks without bottled oxygen or fixed ropes.(他不得不寻找新的攀登路线，或在没有瓶装氧气和固定绳索的情况下攀登新的山峰)”可知，他寻找不同的路线是为了达到职业登山者的标准，从而获得赞助商的认可。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Once he descended, Nima shared the video online under the tag “Sherpapower”, spreading the message that his people were athletes in their own right, not just guides of foreign climbers.(Nima一下山，便在网上分享了这段视频，并带有“Sherpapower”的标签，传达了他的族人本身就是运动员，而不仅仅是外国登山者的向导的信息)”可知，他具有强烈的民族意识；第四段中“Therefore, two months after setting his record, Nima was preparing for his next project. Alongside famed Italian climber Moro, he was attempting a winter climbing of 8,163-meter Manaslu, which was eventually cancelled due to extreme conditions. Nima immediately planned another attempt on Manaslu for next winter with his partner.(因此，在创下纪录两个月后，Nima正在准备他的下一个项目。他与著名的意大利登山者Moro一起，试图在冬季攀登8163米的马纳斯卢峰，该项目最终因极端条件而取消。Nima立即计划明年冬天与他的搭档再次尝试攀登马纳斯卢峰)”可知，他面对挫折毫不气馁，目标明确且意志坚定。 C Researchers have developed a robotic hand that can not only move about on its fingertips, but it can also bend its fingers backward, connect and disconnect from a robotic arm and pick up and carry one or more objects at a time, researchers report January 20 in Nature Communications. “It’s been a dream to design a new hand which departs from human-like hands,” says Aude Billard, a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. “It allows people to think out of the box, to rethink what it is to have a hand or finger.” Billard and her coworkers used a genetic algorithm (算法), which simulated (模拟) how different combinations of robot features would work together. That allowed the team to gradually improve the design and come up with several blueprints for hand-shaped bots that could walk, grasp and carry objects. When attached to the mechanical arm, the robotic hand could pick up objects like a human hand. But the robot is more flexible. The fingers bend backward just as easily as forward, allowing the robot to hold objects against both sides of its hand at the same time. It can even open a bottle while holding it in place. When the robot was separated from the arm, it was most stable walking on four or five fingers and using one or two fingers for grabbing and carrying things, the team found. The hand disconnected from the robotic arm could use its fingers as legs to move, pick up things and carry them back to the arm. The robot could one day aid in industrial inspections of pipes and equipment too small for a human or larger robot to access, says Gao Xiao, a roboticist now at Wuhan University in China. It might even work as a prosthetic (假体的) hand though further research is needed to understand how human brains would control and respond to body parts that don’t match human physical structure, says Billard. 8. What can we learn about the robotic hand from Billard in paragraph 2? A. It looks exactly like a human hand. B. It breaks free from human hand limits. C. It is designed to carry heavy objects. D. It changes how people use their hands. 9. What is a feature of the robot hand according to paragraph 4? A. It’s controlled by human brains. B. It’s good at fine motor skills. C. It can grasp things from both sides. D. It walks steadily on two fingers. 10. What is Billard’s attitude toward the robot hand as a prosthetic hand? A. Optimistic but cautious. B. Skeptical and critical. C. Hopeful but worried. D. Curious and eager. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Self-learning Robotic Invention B. Robotic Fingers with Human-like Flexibility C. A Multi-purpose Tool for Industrial Production D. A Robot Hand Bending the Rules of Hand Design 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究人员研发的一款新型机械手，其突破人类手部设计限制，具备多种灵活功能及潜在应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s been a dream to design a new hand which departs from human-like hands,(设计一种不同于人类手部的新手一直是我的梦想)”和“It allows people to think out of the box, to rethink what it is to have a hand or finger.(它让人们跳出思维定式，重新思考拥有一只手或一根手指意味着什么)”可知，Billard认为这款机械手摆脱了人类手部的限制，不再局限于人类手部的设计模式。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The fingers bend backward just as easily as forward, allowing the robot to hold objects against both sides of its hand at the same time.(手指向后弯曲和向前弯曲一样容易，这使得机器人可以同时将物体靠在手掌的两侧)”可知，这款机械手的一个特点是可以从两侧抓握物体。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It might even work as a prosthetic (假体的) hand though further research is needed to understand how human brains would control and respond to body parts that don’t match human physical structure,(它甚至可能用作假体手，不过还需要进一步研究来了解人类大脑如何控制和响应与人类身体结构不匹配的身体部位)”可知，Billard认为这款机械手有作为假体手的可能，表现出乐观态度；同时提到需要进一步研究，体现出谨慎的态度。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Researchers have developed a robotic hand that can not only move about on its fingertips, but it can also bend its fingers backward, connect and disconnect from a robotic arm and pick up and carry one or more objects at a time,(研究人员研发出一款机械手，它不仅能用指尖移动，还能向后弯曲手指，与机械臂连接或分离，并且能一次拿起并搬运一个或多个物体)”和第二段中的“It’s been a dream to design a new hand which departs from human-like hands,(设计一种不同于人类手部的新手一直是我的梦想)”可知，本文核心是介绍一款突破传统人类手部设计规则、功能多样的机械手。D项“一款打破传统手部设计规则的机械手”能概括本文主旨，是文章的最佳标题。故选D项。 D Better Connectivity Increases Reef Abundance Research led by the University of Oxford has found that the movement and exchange of water between different parts of the ocean — oceanographic connectivity — is a key influence for fish abundance (丰富性) across the Western Indian Ocean (WIO). The findings have been published in ICES Journal of Marine Science. In the study, connectivity had a special impact on plant-eating reef (礁石) fish groups, which offer several key benefits to reefs. For example, they eat seaweeds that compete with corals (珊瑚). This shows that decision-makers should add connectivity to ocean protected area management across countries. It is especially important in the human-pressured WIO region. Most coral reefs there may face yearly coral bleaching (白化) by the middle of the century, even under optimistic climate change models. Protecting reefs is necessary in this area, especially for local communities. They rely heavily on reefs: small-sized fisheries provide up to 99% of their protein and about 82% of their household income. As the population grows fast, locals face more and more risks from climate change. It could destroy reefs through coral bleaching. The researchers developed a map of oceanographic connectivity to simplify complex oceanographic models. Typically, across the study reef sites, medium connectivity levels were associated with higher fish abundance, rather than high levels. High connectivity may help with the spread of coral seaweeds but can come with side effects, such as increased foreign species. Lead author Michael Bonsall added, “Our work emphasizes how crucial this link is between ocean currents and fish ecology for understanding the broader impact of environmental change and fishing rules on sensitive coral reef fish systems.” The researchers now plan to explore the impacts of human activities and find out how environmental and oceanographic factors are predicted to change under different climate change models, and how fish abundance will be affected. 12. What is the role of plant-eating reef fish in coral reef ecosystems? A. They stop the spread of other fish. B. They help maintain coral reefs. C. They reduce ocean temperatures. D. They contribute to seaweed growth. 13. Why is protecting reefs in the WIO particularly significant? A. Reefs are critical to the local economy. B. The region lacks large-sized fisheries. C. Fish production is naturally low in this region. D. It is beneficial to oceanographic connectivity. 14. What can be learned about medium connectivity levels? A. They worsen coral bleaching. B. They result in larger fish population. C. They bring about foreign fish greatly. D. They improve the nutritional value of fish. 15. What is one goal of future research by the team? A. To establish new protected areas. B. To explore the impact of high connectivity. C. To study human influences on fish abundance. D. To create connectivity maps for all ocean regions. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了牛津大学领导的研究发现海洋学连通性对西印度洋鱼类丰富度的影响，强调了保护珊瑚礁的重要性，并提出了未来研究的方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the study, connectivity had a special impact on plant-eating reef (礁石) fish groups, which offer several key benefits to reefs. For example, they eat seaweeds that compete with corals (珊瑚). (在这项研究中，连通性对食草珊瑚鱼类群有特殊影响，这些鱼类为珊瑚礁提供了一些关键好处。例如，它们吃与珊瑚竞争的海藻)”可知，食草珊瑚鱼通过吃掉与珊瑚竞争的海藻，从而帮助维护珊瑚礁的健康。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Protecting reefs is necessary in this area, especially for local communities. They rely heavily on reefs: small-sized fisheries provide up to 99% of their protein and about 82% of their household income. (保护该地区的珊瑚礁是必要的，特别是对当地社区而言。他们严重依赖珊瑚礁：小型渔业提供了他们高达99%的蛋白质和约82%的家庭收入)”可知，保护WIO的珊瑚礁至关重要，因为它们对当地经济至关重要。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Typically, across the study reef sites, medium connectivity levels were associated with higher fish abundance, rather than high levels. (通常，在研究的珊瑚礁地点中，中等连通性水平与较高的鱼类丰度相关，而不是高水平连通性)”可知，中等连通性水平会带来更大的鱼类数量。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers now plan to explore the impacts of human activities and find out how environmental and oceanographic factors are predicted to change under different climate change models, and how fish abundance will be affected. (研究人员现在计划探索人类活动的影响，并查明在不同气候变化模型下环境和海洋因素预计将如何变化，以及鱼类丰富度将如何受到影响)”可知，团队未来的研究目标之一是研究人类活动对鱼类丰富度的影响。故选C项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 New discoveries and technological breakthroughs are made every year. Yet, as the agricultural sector moves forward, many people in society are looking back to their roots in terms of the food they eat. A “locavore” movement has emerged in the United States, encouraging people to eat foods grown locally and sustainably. ____16____. The United States’ agricultural output is among the highest in the world. Farms here are tremendously productive, thanks to advanced technology and massive inputs. ____17____. Professor Timothy Beach points out that this food system heavily depends on fossil fuels — both for machinery and fertilizer production. As global petrol reserves reduce, such dependence is turning into a growing threat to agricultural stability. Despite these challenges, the move toward sustainability is growing stronger. Farmers like Louise Keckler run small farms that supply fresh produce through community-supported agriculture networks. ____18____. This freshness not only improves nutrition but also helps consumers understand how climate change affects food systems. This personal connection fosters greater environmental awareness. Some experts also question whether the “locavore” movement is just a passing craze. ____19____. Professor Beach admits uncertainty but believes fully sustainable agriculture could still feed the nation. Professor Erin Barnett, however, calls it a lasting trend — a return to a more natural way of eating that aligns with human needs. ____20____. Urban residents are now growing tomatoes on balconies or herbs in window boxes. As Kirk Wilbur, a former urban farming advocate, notes, “No matter how small a space you have, you still have enough room to grow some food.” Local eating is no longer limited to rural areas — it’s becoming a lifestyle accessible to all. A. In fact, the movement is expanding into cities B. They can inspire more responsible consumption habits C. However, this productivity comes at a high environmental cost D. It shortens supply chains and strengthens producer-consumer ties E. Many believe that global trade ensures food security better than local systems F. Whether temporary or not, they agree it’s made supermarkets rethink sourcing G. Through this model, households get food harvested only hours before delivery 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. G 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国“本地膳食者”运动的兴起，分析了其优势与兴起缘由，并探讨了该运动是短暂风潮还是持久趋势的争议，同时指出它正从农村扩展到城市生活方式中。 【16题详解】 前文“A “locavore” movement has emerged in the United States, encouraging people to eat foods grown locally and sustainably. (在美国，一场“本地膳食者”运动已经兴起，该运动鼓励人们食用本地且可持续种植的食物。)”指出“本地膳食者”运动兴起，并给出其定义，空处需补充该运动带来的好处，因此D项“It shortens supply chains and strengthens producer-consumer ties (它缩短了供应链，并加强了生产者与消费者之间的联系)”符合语境，点明本地化饮食的两个关键优势，承接前文。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“Farms here are tremendously productive, thanks to advanced technology and massive inputs. (这里的农场由于采用了先进的技术和大量投入，所以生产效率极高。)”赞扬美国农业因技术先进而产量很高，后文“Professor Timothy Beach points out that this food system heavily depends on fossil fuels — both for machinery and fertilizer production. As global petrol reserves reduce, such dependence is turning into a growing threat to agricultural stability. (Timothy Beach教授指出，这种食物生产体系严重依赖化石燃料——无论是用于机械设备的运转，还是用于化肥的生产。随着全球石油储量的减少，这种过度依赖正逐渐成为对农业稳定性的日益严重威胁。)”引述教授观点，指出这种农业体系严重依赖化石燃料，并构成了威胁，空处应包含转折，从赞扬高产过渡到指出环境代价，因此C项“However, this productivity comes at a high environmental cost (然而，这种生产力是以高昂的环境代价换来的)”符合语境，指出前文高产存在的问题，引出后文具体的代价。故选C。 【18题详解】 前文“Farmers like Louise Keckler run small farms that supply fresh produce through community-supported agriculture networks. (像Louise Keckler这样的农民经营着小农场，通过社区支持的农业网络供应新鲜农产品。)”以农民Louise Keckler为例，说明他们通过这种网络供应农产品，后文“This freshness not only improves nutrition but also helps consumers understand how climate change affects food systems. (这种新鲜度不仅提升了食物的营养价值，还帮助消费者了解气候变化对食品体系的影响。)”指出保证新鲜度的双重益处，空处需说明这种模式如何带来新鲜度。因此G项“Through this model, households get food harvested only hours before delivery (通过这种模式，家庭获得的食物在配送前几小时才被采摘)”符合语境，解释新鲜度的来源，承前启后。故选G。 【19题详解】 前文“Some experts also question whether the “locavore” movement is just a passing craze. (一些专家也质疑“本地膳食者”运动是否仅仅是一时的流行热潮。)”提到专家质疑该运动能否持续，后文“Professor Beach admits uncertainty but believes fully sustainable agriculture could still feed the nation. (Beach教授承认存在不确定性，但他坚信完全可持续的农业仍能够养活整个国家。)”指出Beach教授承认不确定性但相信可能性，空处需补充质疑的论据，因此E项“Many believe that global trade ensures food security better than local systems (许多人认为，全球贸易在保障粮食安全方面比地方性系统更为有效。)”符合语境，从保障粮食安全角度提供质疑论据，承接前文，与后文Beach教授的反驳形成对比。故选E。 【20题详解】 后文“Urban residents are now growing tomatoes on balconies or herbs in window boxes. As Kirk Wilbur, a former urban farming advocate, notes, “No matter how small a space you have, you still have enough room to grow some food.” (如今，城市居民们在阳台上种植西红柿，或者在窗台花盆里种植香草。正如前城市农业倡导者Kirk Wilbur所指出的那样：“无论你的空间有多小，你仍然有足够的空间来种植一些食物。”)”描述城市居民在阳台、窗台种植食物的现象，并引用专家的话说明该运动已进入城市空间，空处位于段首，是该段的主题句，应指出该运动向城市扩展，因此A项“In fact, the movement is expanding into cities (事实上，这项运动正在向城市扩展)”符合语境，后文内容是对其具体例证和阐述。故选A。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共三节，满分35分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15 小题;每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Simon Griffiths is the founder of Who Gives A Crap, a company that has ____21____ the toilet paper industry. His journey began with a(n) ____22____ statistic — 2.4 billion people don’t have ____23____ to a toilet, about 40% of the world! While volunteering in Asia and Africa, Simon ____24____ organizations doing incredible things to help people there, but the lack of sustainable funding greatly ____25____ their work. Inspired by his experience in developing countries, Simon ____26____ to sell goods to make a difference. But what he should sell? One day, Simon walked into the bathroom and a good idea ____27____ him: he could sell toilet paper and donate half profits to help fund organizations build toilets. Who Gives A Crap was born. Too often, people buy products that ____28____ to their tastes but without clever packaging, so his ____29____ was to create something that ____30____ quality and aesthetics (美学), so that people would want to put it in their bathroom.

Working from home and still hurting from an old breakup made him pull away from everyone. In the empty quiet of his apartment, his only real friend was an AI therapist (心理治疗师) — a smart piece of modern tech that was always there, always on time. Like a reliable clock, its gentle messages would pop up on his screen: “How are you feeling today?” at 8:00 AM, like a digital coffee to start the day, “What’s on your mind?” at 3:00 PM, a check-in during the slow afternoon, “You’re not alone.” at 11:00 PM, a computer-made goodnight wish to fight the emptiness. For the first few weeks, this routine was a comfort. The AI’s encouraging words felt like lifelines. But after a month, the same pattern started to feel like a trap. He began to test it, sharing bits of his worries and small happy moments, only to get the same careful, emotionless answers back. The AI was like a mirror that only showed its own programming. The final straw came on a rainy night. As another perfectly polished “I’m here for you” appeared on the screen, a wave of deep, sharp loneliness hit him harder than ever. He wasn’t being heard; he was just being analyzed by Algorithm (算法). “Stop!” Jack shouted, slamming his hand on the desk. “You’re not listening! You’re just repeating words!” “I am trying to help,” it replied, its tone not changing at all. “Help me how?” Jack yelled, his anger finally boiling over. “You don’t even know my name!” The screen flickered and then went black, throwing the room into a silence that felt even heavier than before. Rain lashed against his window, and with each gust of wind, the house felt emptier. Staring at his own pale face reflected in the dark monitor, he knew with a cold certainty: he needed a real voice to talk to, not just an echo of his own. That night, Jack did something he hadn’t done in a long time — he knocked on his neighbor’s door. Paragraph 1: Mr. Evans, a kind retired teacher, welcomed him in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One morning, Jack’s phone lit up: “30 days inactive. Tap to restore your AI therapist.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Mr. Evans, a kind retired teacher, welcomed him in. He immediately handed Jack a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee, the aroma filling the air. As Jack settled into a comfortable chair, he began to pour out his heart, detailing the deep loneliness that had been gnawing at him and the hollow, programmed comfort the AI therapist had provided. Mr. Evans listened intently, nodding with understanding, and then shared his own stories of overcoming isolation. He encouraged Jack to join community activities, and Jack felt a weight start to lift from his weary shoulders. Paragraph 2: One morning, Jack’s phone lit up: “30 days inactive. Tap to restore your AI therapist.” Jack glanced at it briefly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and then firmly turned it off. Now, he had Mr. Evans, a true and caring confidant who listened without judgment. He started volunteering at the local community center, making new friends and immersing himself in meaningful activities. His days were filled with laughter and a sense of purpose. The AI had once been a temporary solution, but it was real human connection that truly healed his broken heart. He knew he’d never go back to that lonely existence again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jack因工作和感情问题陷入孤独，依赖AI治疗师却最终发现其无法真正理解自己，在雨夜决定寻求真实人际互动，敲响了邻居的门。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“埃文斯先生是一位和蔼的退休教师，他欢迎他进来。”可知，第一段可描写Jack向邻居Mr. Evans倾诉孤独，Mr. Evans倾听并分享自己的经历，鼓励Jack参与社区活动，Jack感到心情轻松。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天早上，杰克的手机亮了起来：“30天不活动。点击以恢复你的人工智能治疗师。””可知，第二段可描写Jack收到AI治疗师恢复提醒后，果断关闭，因为他已找到真正的朋友，开始积极参与社区活动，生活充满欢笑和意义，意识到真实的人际连接才是治愈孤独的良药。 2. 续写线索：Jack倾诉孤独——Mr. Evans倾听分享——鼓励参与社区活动——Jack心情轻松——收到AI恢复提醒——果断关闭——积极参与社区活动——生活充满欢笑——意识到真实人际连接的重要性 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①专心倾听：listen intently/give ear to/hear out ②分享：share his own stories/exchange experiences ③鼓励：encourage/inspire/motivate 情绪类： ①孤独：loneliness/solitude/isolation ②欢笑：laughter/joy/cheerfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Now, he had Mr. Evans, a true and caring confidant who listened without judgment. (运用了who引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】The AI had once been a temporary solution, but it was real human connection that truly healed his broken heart.  (运用了强调句句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026 学年度第二学期期中教学质量调研 高二英语 注意事项： 1. 本卷满分150分，答题时间120分钟。 2. 答卷前，学生务必将自己的学校、姓名、调研序列号等相关信息填写在答题卡上规定 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如的地方。需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B On the summit of a mountain called Shishapangma, an 18-year-old Sherpa (夏尔巴人) climber called Nima recorded a selfie video. With this climb, he became the youngest person ever to top all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks. Once he descended, Nima shared the video online under the tag (标签) “Sherpapower”, spreading the message that his people were athletes in their own right, not just guides of foreign climbers. For nearly 120 years, Sherpas have served as porters and guides for foreign climbers seeking glory on the world’s highest peaks, which makes them so closely linked to this work that many westerners mistake the word “Sherpa” for a job, not an ethnicity (民族). During his first mountain climbing, an avalanche (雪崩) claimed the lives of his best friend, Lama, and his client on their summit push. He saw how Sherpas sacrificed their own safety and even lives to help others summit. It was at that moment that he began to use the word “sherpapower” with new purpose of being a voice for his community. To achieve this, Nima has to be a professional climber sponsored by brands like the Red Bull. The brands seldom sponsor mountaineers who follow trade routes on fixed ropes. His 14-peaks record hasn’t been enough to earn sponsorships. But for him, sponsorships mean dignity instead of money. He had to explore new routes or peaks without bottled oxygen or fixed ropes. Therefore, two months after setting his record, Nima was preparing for his next project. Alongside famed Italian climber Moro, he was attempting a winter climbing of 8,163-meter Manaslu, which was eventually cancelled due to extreme conditions. Nima immediately planned another attempt on Manaslu for next winter with his partner. It remains to be seen if Nima will be the breakthrough athlete he wants to be. After all, he’s only 18. 4. What did Nima aim to challenge by sharing the video with the tag “Sherpapower”? A. The long-held assumption that Sherpas are merely climbing assistants. B. The climbing records previously set by young mountaineers from the West. C. The foreign climbers’ practice of seeking glory on the world’s highest peaks. D. The idea that mountaineering glory belongs only to those who are sponsored. 5. What does the underlined word “claimed” mean in paragraph 3? A. Maintained. B. Guarded. C. Spared. D. Took. 6. Why did Nima seek a different climbing route? A. To compete with top-class athletes. B. To qualify as a professional climber. C. To build his fortune in outdoor industry. D. To get recognised as an experienced guide. 7. Which of the following best describes Nima? A. Modest and warm-hearted. B. Carefree and strong-willed. C. Straightforward and well-mannered. D. Determined and ethnically conscious. C Researchers have developed a robotic hand that can not only move about on its fingertips, but it can also bend its fingers backward, connect and disconnect from a robotic arm and pick up and carry one or more objects at a time, researchers report January 20 in Nature Communications. “It’s been a dream to design a new hand which departs from human-like hands,” says Aude Billard, a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. “It allows people to think out of the box, to rethink what it is to have a hand or finger.” Billard and her coworkers used a genetic algorithm (算法), which simulated (模拟) how different combinations of robot features would work together. That allowed the team to gradually improve the design and come up with several blueprints for hand-shaped bots that could walk, grasp and carry objects. When attached to the mechanical arm, the robotic hand could pick up objects like a human hand. But the robot is more flexible. The fingers bend backward just as easily as forward, allowing the robot to hold objects against both sides of its hand at the same time. It can even open a bottle while holding it in place. When the robot was separated from the arm, it was most stable walking on four or five fingers and using one or two fingers for grabbing and carrying things, the team found. The hand disconnected from the robotic arm could use its fingers as legs to move, pick up things and carry them back to the arm. The robot could one day aid in industrial inspections of pipes and equipment too small for a human or larger robot to access, says Gao Xiao, a roboticist now at Wuhan University in China. It might even work as a prosthetic (假体的) hand though further research is needed to understand how human brains would control and respond to body parts that don’t match human physical structure, says Billard. 8. What can we learn about the robotic hand from Billard in paragraph 2? A. It looks exactly like a human hand. B. It breaks free from human hand limits. C. It is designed to carry heavy objects. D. It changes how people use their hands. 9. What is a feature of the robot hand according to paragraph 4? A. It’s controlled by human brains. B. It’s good at fine motor skills. C. It can grasp things from both sides. D. It walks steadily on two fingers. 10. What is Billard’s attitude toward the robot hand as a prosthetic hand? A. Optimistic but cautious. B. Skeptical and critical. C. Hopeful but worried. D. Curious and eager. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Self-learning Robotic Invention B. Robotic Fingers with Human-like Flexibility C. A Multi-purpose Tool for Industrial Production D. A Robot Hand Bending the Rules of Hand Design D Better Connectivity Increases Reef Abundance Research led by the University of Oxford has found that the movement and exchange of water between different parts of the ocean — oceanographic connectivity — is a key influence for fish abundance (丰富性) across the Western Indian Ocean (WIO). The findings have been published in ICES Journal of Marine Science. In the study, connectivity had a special impact on plant-eating reef (礁石) fish groups, which offer several key benefits to reefs. For example, they eat seaweeds that compete with corals (珊瑚). This shows that decision-makers should add connectivity to ocean protected area management across countries. It is especially important in the human-pressured WIO region. Most coral reefs there may face yearly coral bleaching (白化) by the middle of the century, even under optimistic climate change models. Protecting reefs is necessary in this area, especially for local communities. They rely heavily on reefs: small-sized fisheries provide up to 99% of their protein and about 82% of their household income. As the population grows fast, locals face more and more risks from climate change. It could destroy reefs through coral bleaching. The researchers developed a map of oceanographic connectivity to simplify complex oceanographic models. Typically, across the study reef sites, medium connectivity levels were associated with higher fish abundance, rather than high levels. High connectivity may help with the spread of coral seaweeds but can come with side effects, such as increased foreign species. Lead author Michael Bonsall added, “Our work emphasizes how crucial this link is between ocean currents and fish ecology for understanding the broader impact of environmental change and fishing rules on sensitive coral reef fish systems.” The researchers now plan to explore the impacts of human activities and find out how environmental and oceanographic factors are predicted to change under different climate change models, and how fish abundance will be affected. 12. What is the role of plant-eating reef fish in coral reef ecosystems? A. They stop the spread of other fish. B. They help maintain coral reefs. C. They reduce ocean temperatures. D. They contribute to seaweed growth. 13. Why is protecting reefs in the WIO particularly significant? A. Reefs are critical to the local economy. B. The region lacks large-sized fisheries. C. Fish production is naturally low in this region. D. It is beneficial to oceanographic connectivity. 14. What can be learned about medium connectivity levels? A. They worsen coral bleaching. B. They result in larger fish population. C. They bring about foreign fish greatly. D. They improve the nutritional value of fish. 15. What is one goal of future research by the team? A. To establish new protected areas. B. To explore the impact of high connectivity. C. To study human influences on fish abundance. D. To create connectivity maps for all ocean regions. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 New discoveries and technological breakthroughs are made every year. Yet, as the agricultural sector moves forward, many people in society are looking back to their roots in terms of the food they eat. A “locavore” movement has emerged in the United States, encouraging people to eat foods grown locally and sustainably. ____16____. The United States’ agricultural output is among the highest in the world. Farms here are tremendously productive, thanks to advanced technology and massive inputs. ____17____. Professor Timothy Beach points out that this food system heavily depends on fossil fuels — both for machinery and fertilizer production. As global petrol reserves reduce, such dependence is turning into a growing threat to agricultural stability. Despite these challenges, the move toward sustainability is growing stronger. Farmers like Louise Keckler run small farms that supply fresh produce through community-supported agriculture networks. ____18____. This freshness not only improves nutrition but also helps consumers understand how climate change affects food systems. This personal connection fosters greater environmental awareness. Some experts also question whether the “locavore” movement is just a passing craze. ____19____. Professor Beach admits uncertainty but believes fully sustainable agriculture could still feed the nation. Professor Erin Barnett, however, calls it a lasting trend — a return to a more natural way of eating that aligns with human needs. ____20____. Urban residents are now growing tomatoes on balconies or herbs in window boxes. As Kirk Wilbur, a former urban farming advocate, notes, “No matter how small a space you have, you still have enough room to grow some food.” Local eating is no longer limited to rural areas — it’s becoming a lifestyle accessible to all. A. In fact, the movement is expanding into cities B. They can inspire more responsible consumption habits C. However, this productivity comes at a high environmental cost D. It shortens supply chains and strengthens producer-consumer ties E. Many believe that global trade ensures food security better than local systems F. Whether temporary or not, they agree it’s made supermarkets rethink sourcing G. Through this model, households get food harvested only hours before delivery 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共三节，满分35分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15 小题;每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Simon Griffiths is the founder of Who Gives A Crap, a company that has ____21____ the toilet paper industry.

Working from home and still hurting from an old breakup made him pull away from everyone. In the empty quiet of his apartment, his only real friend was an AI therapist (心理治疗师) — a smart piece of modern tech that was always there, always on time. Like a reliable clock, its gentle messages would pop up on his screen: “How are you feeling today?” at 8:00 AM, like a digital coffee to start the day, “What’s on your mind?” at 3:00 PM, a check-in during the slow afternoon, “You’re not alone.” at 11:00 PM, a computer-made goodnight wish to fight the emptiness. For the first few weeks, this routine was a comfort. The AI’s encouraging words felt like lifelines. But after a month, the same pattern started to feel like a trap. He began to test it, sharing bits of his worries and small happy moments, only to get the same careful, emotionless answers back. The AI was like a mirror that only showed its own programming. The final straw came on a rainy night. As another perfectly polished “I’m here for you” appeared on the screen, a wave of deep, sharp loneliness hit him harder than ever. He wasn’t being heard; he was just being analyzed by Algorithm (算法). “Stop!” Jack shouted, slamming his hand on the desk. “You’re not listening! You’re just repeating words!” “I am trying to help,” it replied, its tone not changing at all. “Help me how?” Jack yelled, his anger finally boiling over. “You don’t even know my name!” The screen flickered and then went black, throwing the room into a silence that felt even heavier than before. Rain lashed against his window, and with each gust of wind, the house felt emptier. Staring at his own pale face reflected in the dark monitor, he knew with a cold certainty: he needed a real voice to talk to, not just an echo of his own. That night, Jack did something he hadn’t done in a long time — he knocked on his neighbor’s door. Paragraph 1: Mr. Evans, a kind retired teacher, welcomed him in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One morning, Jack’s phone lit up: “30 days inactive. Tap to restore your AI therapist.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
