This reserve cares for 24 Asian elephants, the majority of which were rescued from elephant riding camps where they were cruelly used to entertain tourists. Unlike unethical facilities, it is Asia’s first chain-free elephant reserve, providing 18 hectares of forests, lakes and grazing (放牧) grounds for elephants to wander freely and enjoy their retirement as they deserve. What will you be doing Volunteers will engage in daily elephant care: cleaning enclosures and pools, harvesting food like banana trees, creating enrichments and accompanying elephants to eat in forests. The workday runs from 6:30 to 17:00, six days a week, with scheduled breaks. Volunteers will also learn about the difficult situation of Thai Asian elephants — only 3,000–3,500 wild individuals remain, and many captive ones suffer from tourism or street begging. What is included Program fees ($ 543 per week, 1–12 weeks available) cover accommodation, three daily meals, airport collection, on-site support, Wi-Fi and group tours. Exclusions include flights, travel insurance and vaccines (疫苗). What are free-time activities Free-time activities range from temple visits and river swimming to exploring local markets in Cha-am and Hua-Hin. What are requirements The program welcomes international volunteers with basic English or Thai skills, a passion for animal welfare and the ability to tolerate Thailand’s hot, wet climate. You must be 18 years old or over. 1. What do we know about the elephants in the Endangered Elephant Shelter? A. They are chained up at night. B. They are approaching retirement. C. They live a free and peaceful life. D. They were all mistreated in the camps. 2. What are the volunteers expected to do at the shelter? A. Raise money for the elephants. B. Take elephants to forests for food. C. Plant banana trees as elephant food. D. Publicize the animals’ troubles to tourists. 3. Which of the following is required for joining the program? A. Speaking both English and Thai. B. Adapting to the tropical weather. C. Having experience in animal care. D. Serving the shelter at least 12 weeks. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍泰国濒危大象庇护所的志愿者项目，包括大象情况、志愿者工作、费用、空闲活动及参与要求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unlike unethical facilities, it is Asia’s first chain-free elephant reserve, providing 18 hectares of forests, lakes and grazing grounds for elephants to wander freely and enjoy their retirement as they deserve.(与不道德的场所不同，它是亚洲第一个无锁链大象保护区，提供18公顷的森林、湖泊和放牧场地，让大象自由漫步，享受它们应得的退休生活。)”可知，庇护所里的大象过着自由和平的生活。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What will you be doing”部分第一段中的“Volunteers will engage in daily elephant care: cleaning enclosures and pools, harvesting food like banana trees, creating enrichments and accompanying elephants to eat in forests.(志愿者将参与日常大象护理：清理围栏和水池，收割香蕉树等食物，制作行为丰容物或设施，陪伴大象到森林里进食。)”可知，志愿者需要带大象去森林觅食。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The program welcomes international volunteers with basic English or Thai skills, a passion for animal welfare and the ability to tolerate Thailand’s hot, wet climate.(该项目欢迎具备基本英语或泰语能力、热爱动物福利、能够忍受泰国炎热潮湿气候的国际志愿者。)”可知，加入该项目需要适应热带气候。 B Since 2018, British physicist Jessica Wade has been writing Wikipedia articles to elevate the profiles of female scientists. This initiative was inspired after she met climate researcher Kim Cobb at a conference. Impressed by Cobb’s work, Wade was horrified to find no Wikipedia page for her. That’s when Wade made the decision to write the first of many biographies (传记). Since then, Wade has dedicated herself to increasing diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). In less than a decade, she has created over 2,000 Wikipedia entries. Her focus is on women and other underrepresented scientists who have been overlooked. She highlighted a significant gap in a 2024 podcast, noting that while women make up 51% of the global population, only about 19% of English Wikipedia biographies are about women across all professions. Through her research, Wade has rediscovered numerous pioneers. These include Dawn Shaughnessy, part of a team that discovered five super-heavy elements; Roma Agrawal, the lead engineer for London’s Shard skyscraper; and Gladys West, a Black mathematician whose work is crucial for GPS technology. Wade’s efforts have earned her recognition, including a TEDx Talk, the Rosalind Franklin Award, and praise from Wikipedia’s founder, Jimmy Wales. However, Wade’s mission has faced opposition. Her biography on Clarice Phelps, a Black nuclear chemist involved in discovering a new element, faced scrutiny and even deletion threats from other Wikipedia editors. Wade successfully fought to keep the entry online. Wade argues that the lack of diversity in science is not just unfair but negatively impacts research and innovation. Citing data from the American Association of University Women, she points out that women comprise only 26% of the STEM workforce, with Black and Hispanic (西班牙裔) women accounting for just 2% of engineers. She challenges the assumption that girls lack inspiration, stating that girls are already interested in science, and the key is to increase the proportion of women who stay in the field. 4. What motivated Wade to write her first Wikipedia entry? A. Her desire to win scientific awards. B. Her passion for promoting scientists. C. A request from Wikipedia’s founder. D. A noted scientist lacking Wikipedia page. 5. What was the main focus of Wade’s contributions to Wikipedia? A. The scientific discoveries in the 21st century. B. The careers of Black and Hispanic researchers. C. The work of women and other ignored scientists. D. The lives of the Rosalind Franklin Award winners. 6. What does the underlined word “scrutiny” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Public praise. B. Warm support. C. Complete rejection. D. Thorough review. 7. What does the last paragraph present? A. Wade’s main achievements. B. Wade’s opinions on scientific circles. C. The necessity of enhancing diversity in STEM. D. The recognition Wade has received in STEM. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述英国物理学家杰西卡・韦德坚持在维基百科为被忽视的女性科学家撰写词条，以此提升她们知名度，并阐述此举的意义与遭遇的阻碍。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“Impressed by Cobb’s work, Wade was horrified to find no Wikipedia page for her. That’s when Wade made the decision to write the first of many biographies (传记).(对Cobb的工作印象深刻，Wade惊恐地发现维基百科上没有她的页面。就在那时，Wade决定写下众多传记中的第一篇。)”可知，促使Wade撰写第一篇维基百科词条的原因是她发现一位著名科学家没有维基百科页面。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“Her focus is on women and other underrepresented scientists who have been overlooked.(她的重点是那些被忽视的女性和其他代表性不足的科学家。)”可知，Wade对维基百科贡献的主要内容是关于女性及其他被忽视的科学家的工作。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Wade’s mission has faced opposition. Her biography on Clarice Phelps... faced scrutiny and even deletion threats from other Wikipedia editors. Wade successfully fought to keep the entry online.(Wade的使命遭到了反对。她撰写的关于Clarice Phelps的传记……面临着其他维基百科编辑的scrutiny，甚至删除威胁。Wade成功争取将该词条保留在网上。)”可知，由于她的使命面临反对，其他编辑对她写的词条进行了严格的审查，甚至威胁要删除。“scrutiny”意为“仔细审查”，与“Thorough review”意思相近。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据最后一段中的“Wade argues that the lack of diversity in science is not just unfair but negatively impacts research and innovation.(Wade认为，科学领域缺乏多样性不仅不公平，而且对研究和创新产生负面影响。)”以及她引用的数据和对“女孩缺乏激励/灵感”这一假设的反驳可知，最后一段主要呈现的是增强STEM领域多样性的必要性。 C Today, artificial intelligence (AI) has deeply spread into work and daily life. Recent industry surveys highlight that over 60% of office workers now rely on AI to handle repetitive, time-consuming routine tasks, while more than 40% of content creators, including bloggers and graphic designers, turn to AI tools for initial inspiration or draft outlines. While this technological shift has undoubtedly boosted work efficiency, young professionals are engaging in independent brainstorming far less frequently, and many college students openly admit they struggle to complete academic essays without AI’s support. Tech scholars Lisa Morrison and David Chen have warned against this over-dependence in their influential paper AI as a Tool, Not a Substitute. They stress that AI should serve to enhance creative power, rather than replace independent thinking. The core strengths that make humans unique, such as deep emotional perception, flexible logical reasoning, and breakthrough innovative thinking, cannot be truly copied by AI, which operates only on pre-trained data and fixed algorithms (算法). Over-reliance on AI, they argue, will gradually reduce the drive of societal innovation. Negative impacts are already clear: Some online writers use AI to piece together plot models, resulting in similar stories that lack genuine emotional sincerity; young product designers often apply AI-generated drafts directly without secondary creation, leading to identical-looking products lacking in cultural depth. Yet positive cases exist too: celebrated sci-fi writer Eleanor Carter uses AI to collect data on future tech trends, and then integrates her reflections on humanity to craft bestsellers like The Boundary of Time. Similarly, digital art team “Light and Shadow Studio” improves AI drafts with artistic insights, mixing traditional techniques and modern aesthetics (美学) for award-winning works. AI’s convenience is undeniable, but it can never produce truly pioneering, revolutionary ideas. The integration of AI into our lives should be approached with a balance that prioritizes human creativity. Individuals must keep practicing independent thinking; schools should add courses on critical thinking to guide sensible AI use; society should praise works rooted in human creativity. Only then can AI serve progress, and creativity remain the engine of social development. 8. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1? A. A current trend in essay writing. B. A worrying phenomenon in AI use. C. The huge changes in the workplace. D. The extensive application of AI tools. 9. What do Lisa Morrison and David Chen suggest AI should be? A. A substitute to copy originality. B. A tool to inspire human creativity. C. A replacement for human emotions. D. A support system for fixed algorithms. 10. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. AI-generated designs lack cultural depth. B. All online writers use AI to create stories. C. Digital works are not emotionally sincere. D. Using AI properly helps create brilliant works. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Balancing AI Use and Creativity B. Tapping into Your Innovation in AI C. More Self-control, More Innovation D. The Less AI Use, the Smarter You Are 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍人工智能在工作和生活中的广泛应用，以及过度依赖 AI 的弊端，强调需平衡 AI 使用与人类创造力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Today, artificial intelligence (AI) has deeply spread into work and daily life. Recent industry surveys highlight that over 60% of office workers now rely on AI to handle repetitive, time-consuming routine tasks, while more than 40% of content creators, including bloggers and graphic designers, turn to AI tools for initial inspiration or draft outlines. While this technological shift has undoubtedly boosted work efficiency, young professionals are engaging in independent brainstorming far less frequently, and many college students openly admit they struggle to complete academic essays without AI’s support.(如今，人工智能（AI）已深度融入工作和日常生活。最近的行业调查显示，超过 60% 的办公室工作人员现在依靠人工智能处理重复性、耗时的日常任务，而超过 40% 的内容创作者，包括博主和平面设计师，借助人工智能工具获取初步灵感或起草大纲。虽然这种技术变革无疑提高了工作效率，但年轻职场人士进行独立头脑风暴的频率大幅降低，许多大学生坦言，没有人工智能的支持，他们难以完成学术论文)”可知，第一段既讲了AI的广泛应用，也点出了人们过度依赖AI、独立思考减少的问题，意图告诉我们AI使用中一种令人担忧的现象。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tech scholars Lisa Morrison and David Chen have warned against this over-dependence in their influential paper AI as a Tool, Not a Substitute. They stress that AI should serve to enhance creative power, rather than replace independent thinking.(科技学者莉萨・莫里森和大卫・陈在其具有影响力的论文《人工智能：工具而非替代品》中警告了这种过度依赖。他们强调，人工智能应有助于增强创造力，而不是取代独立思考)”可知，他们认为AI应该是激发人类创造力的工具。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet positive cases exist too: celebrated sci-fi writer Eleanor Carter uses AI to collect data on future tech trends, and then integrates her reflections on humanity to craft bestsellers like The Boundary of Time. Similarly, digital art team “Light and Shadow Studio” improves AI drafts with artistic insights, mixing traditional techniques and modern aesthetics for award-winning works.(然而，也存在积极的案例：著名科幻作家埃莉诺・卡特利用人工智能收集未来科技趋势的数据，然后结合她对人性的思考，创作了《时间的边界》等畅销书。同样，数字艺术团队 “光影工作室” 用艺术洞察力改进人工智能草稿，将传统技术与现代美学相结合，打造出获奖作品)”可知，合理使用人工智能有助于创造出色的作品。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段中的“The integration of AI into our lives should be approached with a balance that prioritizes human creativity. Individuals must keep practicing independent thinking; schools should add courses on critical thinking to guide sensible AI use; society should praise works rooted in human creativity.(我们应当以重视人类创造力的平衡方式将人工智能融入生活。个人必须坚持锻炼独立思考能力；学校应当增设批判性思维课程以引导人们合理使用人工智能；社会应当推崇源于人类创造力的作品)”可知，文章围绕AI的应用展开，先介绍AI的广泛应用和过度依赖的弊端，再通过正反案例说明合理使用AI的重要性，最后强调要平衡AI使用与人类创造力，让AI服务于进步，让创造力成为社会发展的引擎。A选项“平衡AI使用与创造力”能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。 D Recently, a team of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a study in Nature Communications, introducing an ultrasonic-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) technology. This innovative approach enables rapid abstraction of drinking water from sorbents (吸附剂), offering a new solution to water shortage in dry regions. Atmospheric water harvesting technology captures dampness from the air using sorbents. However, conventional AWH systems rely on solar heat to evaporate (蒸发) and cool water from these sorbents, a process that takes hours or even days, leading to low efficiency. The MIT team’s important achievement lies in replacing solar heating with ultrasonic waves, whose working principle centers on high-frequency shakiness to break the weak bonds between water molecules (分子) and the sorbent’s absorption sites. Ultrasonic waves, which work at frequencies above 20 kilohertz (not heard by humans), create targeted disturbances that generate force to release water molecules from the sorbent. The core of the device is a flat ceramic ring that shakes when electricity is applied, surrounded by an outer ring fitted with tiny tubes. The shaken-out water drops pass through these tiny tubes and are collected in containers attached above and below the shaking ring. In tests conducted under different dampness conditions, the device successfully abstracted all water from fully wet sorbent samples in just a few minutes rather than the tens of minutes or hours needed for heat-based approaches. The researchers calculate that, compared to heat-based approaches, the ultrasonic device is 45 times more efficient at recovering water from the same material and can be an add-on to almost any sorbent material. Unlike heat-based designs, the device does require a power source. The research team imagines that the device can be powered by a small solar cell, which can also act as a sensor to detect when the sorbent is full and automatically start the abstraction process, enabling multiple harvesting cycles in a single day. In the future, it is expected to develop household-level devices to provide a stable supply of drinking water for water-short communities. 12. What is the MIT team’s breakthrough in collecting water from the air? A. Employing ultrasonic waves. B. Expanding the size of sorbents. C. Equipping more solar collectors. D. Updating experimental facilities. 13. What are the tiny tubes used to do in the ultrasonic device? A. Channel the water drops. B. Store the collected water. C. Secure the two rings firmly. D. Absorb dampness from the air. 14. What does the author try to demonstrate by mentioning the heat-based method in paragraph 4? A. The accuracy of the test results. B. The impact of conditions on the tests. C. The difficulty in selecting sorbent materials. D. The advantage of the ultrasonic-based method. 15. How does the author close the text? A. By explaining the limitations of the study. B. By presenting future application prospects. C. By comparing various water collection methods. D. By stressing the significance of further research. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了MIT团队研发的超声波大气集水新技术及其优势与应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“The MIT team’s important achievement lies in replacing solar heating with ultrasonic waves, whose working principle centers on high-frequency shakiness to break the weak bonds between water molecules (分子) and the sorbent’s absorption sites.(MIT团队的重要成就在于用超声波取代太阳能加热，其工作原理是利用高频振动打破水分子与吸附剂吸收位点之间的弱键)”可知，MIT团队的突破是采用超声波来收集空气中的水分。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“The shaken-out water drops pass through these tiny tubes and are collected in containers attached above and below the shaking ring.(被震出的水滴通过这些细管，被收集在振动环上下方连接的容器中)”可知，细管的作用是引导水滴流向收集容器。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段中“In tests conducted under different dampness conditions, the device successfully abstracted all water from fully wet sorbent samples in just a few minutes rather than the tens of minutes or hours needed for heat-based approaches. The researchers calculate that, compared to heat-based approaches, the ultrasonic device is 45 times more efficient at recovering water from the same material and can be an add-on to almost any sorbent material.(在不同湿度条件下进行的测试中，该设备在几分钟内就能从完全湿润的吸附剂样本中提取全部水分，而热基方法需要数十分钟甚至数小时。研究人员计算出，与热基方法相比，超声波设备从相同材料中回收水的效率是其45倍，并且几乎可以添加到任何吸附剂材料上)”可知，作者提到热基方法是为了通过对比突出超声波方法在效率上的巨大优势。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“In the future, it is expected to develop household-level devices to provide a stable supply of drinking water for water-short communities.(未来，预计将开发家庭级设备，为缺水社区提供稳定的饮用水供应)”可知，作者以展望未来应用前景的方式收束全文。 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。 When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate? It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. ____16____ However, understanding how to achieve it and identifying what distracts (使分心) you can make a big difference. Scientists have explored the reasons behind our tendency to delay tasks and summarized a range of methods to help us stay focused. ____17____ Research by Science Focus magazine shows that silence is best for concentration; alternatively, soft background sounds or coffee shop atmosphere also works well. Additionally, the study found that turning off notifications on your phone removes a major distraction. ____18____ Another effective strategy to stay focused is brain training. Attention researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions. ____19____ For example, when attending online lectures, you can try taking notes of the speaker’s words while listening, which combines auditory (听觉) input with visual and writing actions, leaving little mental space for outside distractions. There are also more practical tips to maintain focus. These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you don’t have an urge to do other things, or tapping your fingers gently on the table. ____20____ Science Focus magazine points out, “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for survival.” A. It might be easy for you to stay focused. B. Interestingly, distraction isn’t entirely negative. C. Schedule complex tasks during your energy peaks. D. Staying focused remains a challenge even in adult life. E. Thus, keeping your mind fully engaged might be the key. F. Switching it off entirely also helps us focus on the task at hand. G. One of the most straightforward approaches is eliminating noise. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. E 20.

His dream was to submit his self-designed “Smart Plant Care Device” — inspired by his grandmother’s struggle to keep her potted plants alive during business trips — to the school’s annual Tech Innovation Contest. This year, the top 8 entries would be displayed at the school science fair, a rare opportunity for young inventors. His best friends Maya and Sam were always there to help. After school, they’d crowd around Ethan’s workbench, passing him tools and cheering him on: “That sensor design is genius! It’ll definitely help your grandma’s plants prosper!” Sam, who loved coding, even offered to help improve the device’s control program. Just as Ethan was about to test the final prototype (原型), disaster struck. One evening, while moving the device out for a power test, he tripped over a loose wire. The prototype crashed to the floor, its circuit board broken into pieces. What was worse, most of the custom components were not repairable, and the contest submission deadline was only two weeks away. “I can’t fix this in time,” he whispered desperately. Ethan laid the broken prototype into a box under his bed, stopped talking about the contest, and even avoided Maya and Sam. He was afraid they’d laugh at his failure, or that Mr Torres, his science teacher who’d praised his idea, would think he was a quitter. Mr Torres noticed his sudden withdrawal. He pulled Ethan into his office after class one day and said softly, “Invention isn’t just about building something perfect on the first try. Maybe we can present it in a different way.” He pulled out a laptop and showed Ethan a 3D modeling software. “You can create a digital prototype, add animation (动画) to show how it works, and explain your design process in detail. That’s just as valuable as a physical device.” 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。 Ethan had never used 3D modeling software before, but he was willing to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day came when the contest results were announced. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Ethan had never used 3D modeling software before, but he was willing to try. Mr Torres stayed late every day that week, teaching him the basics. Maya and Sam joined too. Maya helped draft clear, engaging explanations for the presentation, while Sam assisted with adding interactive elements to the model. Every afternoon, the three gathered in the school computer lab, buried in building a digital prototype. Gradually, Ethan regained his passion for the project. After finishing the final presentation, he submitted it to the contest. The day came when the contest results were announced. Ethan’s heart raced as he stood in the school hall with Maya and Sam. When the host read out his name as one of the top 8 winners, Ethan couldn’t believe his ears. The three hugged tightly, cheering loudly. Later, he found Mr Torres and said, “Thank you for showing me that a broken prototype doesn’t mean a broken dream.” Ethan finally understood: Dreams don’t vanish when things go wrong. With friends who stand by you, a teacher who guides you, and the courage to try something new, new possibilities will always bloom. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了15岁的Ethan因亲手制作的“智能植物养护装置”原型损坏而心灰意冷，准备放弃参赛，但在科学老师Torres先生的鼓励和朋友的帮助下，利用3D建模技术重拾信心，最终成功入围科技大赛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Ethan在老师和朋友的帮助下学习新技术，日夜赶工制作数字原型，并重燃斗志的过程。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写获奖时的激动心情，以及Ethan对老师和朋友的感激，升华关于“失败与坚持”的主题。 2. 续写线索： 尝试软件 —— 朋友相助 —— 熬夜制作 —— 提交作品 —— 宣布结果 —— 荣获大奖 —— 感悟真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①教导：teach/instruct/guide ②加入：join/participate/get involved ③埋头苦干：buried in/absorbed in/focused on 情绪类 ①心跳加速：heart raced/heart pounded/heart beat fast ②难以置信：can’t believe his ears/be shocked/be stunned 【点睛】【高分句型1】Ethan’s heart raced as he stood in the school hall with Maya and Sam.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】With friends who stand by you, a teacher who guides you, and the courage to try something new, new possibilities will always bloom.(运用了两个who引导的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高考压轴冲刺 英语（一） 全卷满分150分，建议用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡上，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：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，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 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

This reserve cares for 24 Asian elephants, the majority of which were rescued from elephant riding camps where they were cruelly used to entertain tourists. Unlike unethical facilities, it is Asia’s first chain-free elephant reserve, providing 18 hectares of forests, lakes and grazing (放牧) grounds for elephants to wander freely and enjoy their retirement as they deserve. What will you be doing Volunteers will engage in daily elephant care: cleaning enclosures and pools, harvesting food like banana trees, creating enrichments and accompanying elephants to eat in forests. The workday runs from 6:30 to 17:00, six days a week, with scheduled breaks. Volunteers will also learn about the difficult situation of Thai Asian elephants — only 3,000–3,500 wild individuals remain, and many captive ones suffer from tourism or street begging. What is included Program fees ($ 543 per week, 1–12 weeks available) cover accommodation, three daily meals, airport collection, on-site support, Wi-Fi and group tours. Exclusions include flights, travel insurance and vaccines (疫苗). What are free-time activities Free-time activities range from temple visits and river swimming to exploring local markets in Cha-am and Hua-Hin. What are requirements The program welcomes international volunteers with basic English or Thai skills, a passion for animal welfare and the ability to tolerate Thailand’s hot, wet climate. You must be 18 years old or over. 1. What do we know about the elephants in the Endangered Elephant Shelter? A. They are chained up at night. B. They are approaching retirement. C. They live a free and peaceful life. D. They were all mistreated in the camps. 2. What are the volunteers expected to do at the shelter? A. Raise money for the elephants. B. Take elephants to forests for food. C. Plant banana trees as elephant food. D. Publicize the animals’ troubles to tourists. 3. Which of the following is required for joining the program? A. Speaking both English and Thai. B. Adapting to the tropical weather. C. Having experience in animal care. D. Serving the shelter at least 12 weeks. B Since 2018, British physicist Jessica Wade has been writing Wikipedia articles to elevate the profiles of female scientists. This initiative was inspired after she met climate researcher Kim Cobb at a conference. Impressed by Cobb’s work, Wade was horrified to find no Wikipedia page for her. That’s when Wade made the decision to write the first of many biographies (传记). Since then, Wade has dedicated herself to increasing diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). In less than a decade, she has created over 2,000 Wikipedia entries. Her focus is on women and other underrepresented scientists who have been overlooked. She highlighted a significant gap in a 2024 podcast, noting that while women make up 51% of the global population, only about 19% of English Wikipedia biographies are about women across all professions. Through her research, Wade has rediscovered numerous pioneers. These include Dawn Shaughnessy, part of a team that discovered five super-heavy elements; Roma Agrawal, the lead engineer for London’s Shard skyscraper; and Gladys West, a Black mathematician whose work is crucial for GPS technology. Wade’s efforts have earned her recognition, including a TEDx Talk, the Rosalind Franklin Award, and praise from Wikipedia’s founder, Jimmy Wales. However, Wade’s mission has faced opposition. Her biography on Clarice Phelps, a Black nuclear chemist involved in discovering a new element, faced scrutiny and even deletion threats from other Wikipedia editors. Wade successfully fought to keep the entry online. Wade argues that the lack of diversity in science is not just unfair but negatively impacts research and innovation. Citing data from the American Association of University Women, she points out that women comprise only 26% of the STEM workforce, with Black and Hispanic (西班牙裔) women accounting for just 2% of engineers. She challenges the assumption that girls lack inspiration, stating that girls are already interested in science, and the key is to increase the proportion of women who stay in the field. 4. What motivated Wade to write her first Wikipedia entry? A. Her desire to win scientific awards. B. Her passion for promoting scientists. C. A request from Wikipedia’s founder. D. A noted scientist lacking Wikipedia page. 5. What was the main focus of Wade’s contributions to Wikipedia? A. The scientific discoveries in the 21st century. B. The careers of Black and Hispanic researchers. C. The work of women and other ignored scientists. D. The lives of the Rosalind Franklin Award winners. 6. What does the underlined word “scrutiny” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Public praise. B. Warm support. C. Complete rejection. D. Thorough review. 7. What does the last paragraph present? A. Wade’s main achievements. B. Wade’s opinions on scientific circles. C. The necessity of enhancing diversity in STEM. D. The recognition Wade has received in STEM. C Today, artificial intelligence (AI) has deeply spread into work and daily life. Recent industry surveys highlight that over 60% of office workers now rely on AI to handle repetitive, time-consuming routine tasks, while more than 40% of content creators, including bloggers and graphic designers, turn to AI tools for initial inspiration or draft outlines. While this technological shift has undoubtedly boosted work efficiency, young professionals are engaging in independent brainstorming far less frequently, and many college students openly admit they struggle to complete academic essays without AI’s support. Tech scholars Lisa Morrison and David Chen have warned against this over-dependence in their influential paper AI as a Tool, Not a Substitute. They stress that AI should serve to enhance creative power, rather than replace independent thinking. The core strengths that make humans unique, such as deep emotional perception, flexible logical reasoning, and breakthrough innovative thinking, cannot be truly copied by AI, which operates only on pre-trained data and fixed algorithms (算法). Over-reliance on AI, they argue, will gradually reduce the drive of societal innovation. Negative impacts are already clear: Some online writers use AI to piece together plot models, resulting in similar stories that lack genuine emotional sincerity; young product designers often apply AI-generated drafts directly without secondary creation, leading to identical-looking products lacking in cultural depth. Yet positive cases exist too: celebrated sci-fi writer Eleanor Carter uses AI to collect data on future tech trends, and then integrates her reflections on humanity to craft bestsellers like The Boundary of Time. Similarly, digital art team “Light and Shadow Studio” improves AI drafts with artistic insights, mixing traditional techniques and modern aesthetics (美学) for award-winning works. AI’s convenience is undeniable, but it can never produce truly pioneering, revolutionary ideas. The integration of AI into our lives should be approached with a balance that prioritizes human creativity. Individuals must keep practicing independent thinking; schools should add courses on critical thinking to guide sensible AI use; society should praise works rooted in human creativity. Only then can AI serve progress, and creativity remain the engine of social development. 8. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1? A. A current trend in essay writing. B. A worrying phenomenon in AI use. C. The huge changes in the workplace. D. The extensive application of AI tools. 9. What do Lisa Morrison and David Chen suggest AI should be? A. A substitute to copy originality. B. A tool to inspire human creativity. C. A replacement for human emotions. D. A support system for fixed algorithms. 10. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. AI-generated designs lack cultural depth. B. All online writers use AI to create stories. C. Digital works are not emotionally sincere. D. Using AI properly helps create brilliant works. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Balancing AI Use and Creativity B. Tapping into Your Innovation in AI C. More Self-control, More Innovation D. The Less AI Use, the Smarter You Are D Recently, a team of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a study in Nature Communications, introducing an ultrasonic-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) technology. This innovative approach enables rapid abstraction of drinking water from sorbents (吸附剂), offering a new solution to water shortage in dry regions. Atmospheric water harvesting technology captures dampness from the air using sorbents. However, conventional AWH systems rely on solar heat to evaporate (蒸发) and cool water from these sorbents, a process that takes hours or even days, leading to low efficiency. The MIT team’s important achievement lies in replacing solar heating with ultrasonic waves, whose working principle centers on high-frequency shakiness to break the weak bonds between water molecules (分子) and the sorbent’s absorption sites. Ultrasonic waves, which work at frequencies above 20 kilohertz (not heard by humans), create targeted disturbances that generate force to release water molecules from the sorbent. The core of the device is a flat ceramic ring that shakes when electricity is applied, surrounded by an outer ring fitted with tiny tubes. The shaken-out water drops pass through these tiny tubes and are collected in containers attached above and below the shaking ring. In tests conducted under different dampness conditions, the device successfully abstracted all water from fully wet sorbent samples in just a few minutes rather than the tens of minutes or hours needed for heat-based approaches. The researchers calculate that, compared to heat-based approaches, the ultrasonic device is 45 times more efficient at recovering water from the same material and can be an add-on to almost any sorbent material. Unlike heat-based designs, the device does require a power source. The research team imagines that the device can be powered by a small solar cell, which can also act as a sensor to detect when the sorbent is full and automatically start the abstraction process, enabling multiple harvesting cycles in a single day. In the future, it is expected to develop household-level devices to provide a stable supply of drinking water for water-short communities. 12. What is the MIT team’s breakthrough in collecting water from the air? A. Employing ultrasonic waves. B. Expanding the size of sorbents. C. Equipping more solar collectors. D. Updating experimental facilities. 13. What are the tiny tubes used to do in the ultrasonic device? A. Channel the water drops. B. Store the collected water. C. Secure the two rings firmly. D. Absorb dampness from the air. 14. What does the author try to demonstrate by mentioning the heat-based method in paragraph 4? A. The accuracy of the test results. B. The impact of conditions on the tests. C. The difficulty in selecting sorbent materials. D. The advantage of the ultrasonic-based method. 15. How does the author close the text? A. By explaining the limitations of the study. B. By presenting future application prospects. C. By comparing various water collection methods. D. By stressing the significance of further research. 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。 When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate? It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. ____16____ However, understanding how to achieve it and identifying what distracts (使分心) you can make a big difference. Scientists have explored the reasons behind our tendency to delay tasks and summarized a range of methods to help us stay focused. ____17____ Research by Science Focus magazine shows that silence is best for concentration; alternatively, soft background sounds or coffee shop atmosphere also works well. Additionally, the study found that turning off notifications on your phone removes a major distraction. ____18____ Another effective strategy to stay focused is brain training. Attention researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions. ____19____ For example, when attending online lectures, you can try taking notes of the speaker’s words while listening, which combines auditory (听觉) input with visual and writing actions, leaving little mental space for outside distractions. There are also more practical tips to maintain focus. These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you don’t have an urge to do other things, or tapping your fingers gently on the table. ____20____ Science Focus magazine points out, “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for survival.” A. It might be easy for you to stay focused. B. Interestingly, distraction isn’t entirely negative. C. Schedule complex tasks during your energy peaks. D. Staying focused remains a challenge even in adult life. E. Thus, keeping your mind fully engaged might be the key. F. Switching it off entirely also helps us focus on the task at hand. G. One of the most straightforward approaches is eliminating noise. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My friends and I grew up in a small neighborhood — until a big fire struck last month.

His dream was to submit his self-designed “Smart Plant Care Device” — inspired by his grandmother’s struggle to keep her potted plants alive during business trips — to the school’s annual Tech Innovation Contest. This year, the top 8 entries would be displayed at the school science fair, a rare opportunity for young inventors. His best friends Maya and Sam were always there to help. After school, they’d crowd around Ethan’s workbench, passing him tools and cheering him on: “That sensor design is genius! It’ll definitely help your grandma’s plants prosper!” Sam, who loved coding, even offered to help improve the device’s control program. Just as Ethan was about to test the final prototype (原型), disaster struck. One evening, while moving the device out for a power test, he tripped over a loose wire. The prototype crashed to the floor, its circuit board broken into pieces. What was worse, most of the custom components were not repairable, and the contest submission deadline was only two weeks away. “I can’t fix this in time,” he whispered desperately. Ethan laid the broken prototype into a box under his bed, stopped talking about the contest, and even avoided Maya and Sam. He was afraid they’d laugh at his failure, or that Mr Torres, his science teacher who’d praised his idea, would think he was a quitter. Mr Torres noticed his sudden withdrawal. He pulled Ethan into his office after class one day and said softly, “Invention isn’t just about building something perfect on the first try. Maybe we can present it in a different way.” He pulled out a laptop and showed Ethan a 3D modeling software. “You can create a digital prototype, add animation (动画) to show how it works, and explain your design process in detail. That’s just as valuable as a physical device.” 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。 Ethan had never used 3D modeling software before, but he was willing to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day came when the contest results were announced. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
