Instead, there was a deafening silence. I looked around to see my students’ faces — their blank expressions told me that “I have no idea what you just said.” It was then that I found out that prepone was not an actual word in English, based on the belief held by linguistic (语言学的) authorities that all proper words in a language must be found in a dictionary. I had grown up in India where people believe prepone means the opposite of postpone. In my native country, fluency in English is regarded as a mark of better education. As an English major, I possessed a wide vocabulary and a deep fondness for reading Dickens, Austen and other literary giants, and my comfort in English had gradually shaped my sense of self. While leaving India took me out of my familiar linguistic environment, it also opened my eyes to the rich world of English. In fact, there are many varieties of English that have developed in English- influenced countries like Singapore, South Africa and Malaysia. These countries have taken a foreign language they gradually adopted and made it their own. Despite the linguistic dominance, it is reasonable to acknowledge the value of these localized versions of English instead of just seeing them as “not right.” Though prepone has not yet been formally recognized as standard English, it shouldn’t be considered as a wrong English word. These days, I’ve made it my mission to make this little word widely liked and tell my students all about it! I firmly believe that such localized expressions deserve to be valued rather than dismissed. 4. Why was there silence among the students? A. They were preparing themselves for a test. B. They were confused by the class schedule. C. They lacked concentration at that moment. D. They failed to get what the teacher said. 5. How did the author feel about his English level? A. Anxious. B. Ashamed. C. Confident. D. Doubtful. 6. Why are many countries mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To stress they truly value foreign languages. B. To highlight standard English is dominant. C. To demonstrate English is widely spread. D. To prove English has diverse varieties. 7. What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A. Localized English matters. B. Standard English has tricky words. C. English emphasizes accuracy. D. English may well be undervalued. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】作者讲述自己教学误用单词经历，介绍英语存在多种变体，主张重视本土化英语表达。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I looked around to see my students’ faces — their blank expressions told me that “I have no idea what you just said.”(我环顾四周看着学生们的脸——他们茫然的神情告诉我“我听不懂你刚才说的话”)”可知，学生沉默是因为听不懂老师说的话。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As an English major, I possessed a wide vocabulary and a deep fondness for reading Dickens, Austen and other literary giants, and my comfort in English had gradually shaped my sense of self.(作为一名英语专业学生，我词汇量丰富，深爱阅读狄更斯、奥斯汀等文学巨匠的作品，熟练使用英语塑造了自我认知)”可知，作者对自己的英语水平很自信。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In fact, there are many varieties of English that have developed in English-influenced countries like Singapore, South Africa and Malaysia.(事实上，在新加坡、南非、马来西亚等受英语影响的国家，形成了许多英语变体)”可知，列举多国是为了证明英语有多种变体。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据最后一段“I firmly believe that such localized expressions deserve to be valued rather than dismissed.(我坚信这类本土化表达值得被重视，而不应被忽视)”可知，作者想表达本土化英语很重要。 C Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed an adaptable algorithm (算法), which can improve road safety by predicting when drivers are able to safely interact with in-vehicle systems or receive messages, such as incoming calls and driving directions. “If you’re in a demanding driving situation, that would be a bad time to interrupt the driver with a message on a screen,” said co-first author Bashar Ahmad. A driver’s workload can change frequently. Driving in a new area, in heavy traffic or poor road conditions, for example, is usually more demanding than a daily commute. The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour and road conditions to measure the driver’s workload, so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems can interact at the right time. In that case, drivers are only prompted at times of low workload, so they can keep their full concentration on the road in more stressful driving situations. To measure drivers’ workload, the researchers first collected drivers’ subjective workload information during driving. For the experiment, a phone showing a route on a navigation app was fixed to the car, next to a small LED ring light that would flash at regular periods. Participants all followed the same route through a mix of rural, urban and main roads. They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. Video analysis of the experiment, paired with the data from the buttons, allowed the researchers to identify high-workload situations. The researchers used the on-road data to develop a machine learning framework to assess drivers based on their average workload, and a Bayesian filtering approach to estimate the drivers’ real-time workload. “This research is vital for understanding the impact of our design from a user’s perspective, so that we can reduce unnecessary interruptions and continually improve safety and driving experiences,” said Senior Technical Specialist Lee Skrypchuk. 8. What is the main function of new algorithm? A. To guide drivers directly in unfamiliar areas. B. To reduce traffic accidents on main roads. C. To test advanced driver assistance systems. D. To support safe driver-vehicle interactions. 9. What does the underlined word “prompted” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Praised. B. Messaged. C. Monitored. D. Restricted. 10. What did pressing a finger-worn button indicate in the experiment? A. A relaxed driving state. B. A request for higher speed. C. A complex road condition. D. A failure of the LED light. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. How to Drive? B. When to Interrupt? C. Who’s Driving? D. What’s Algorithm? 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍剑桥大学研发新型适配算法，可判断驾驶员负荷，优化车载系统交互时机，提升行车安全。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed an adaptable algorithm (算法), which can improve road safety by predicting when drivers are able to safely interact with in-vehicle systems or receive messages, such as incoming calls and driving directions.(剑桥大学的研究人员研发了一种自适应算法，该算法能够通过预判驾驶员何时可安全与车载系统交互或接收来电、行车导航等信息，提升道路安全)”可知，新算法的主要功能是助力人车安全交互。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour and road conditions to measure the driver’s workload, so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems can interact at the right time.(该算法分析驾驶员行为和路况，测算驾驶负荷，让驾驶员与导航、高级驾驶辅助系统等车载系统适时交互)”以及后文专注行车可知，此处指仅在低负荷时段向驾驶员推送消息、发送提示。划线单词意为“发消息、提示”，与messaged意思相近。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation.(每当LED红灯亮起，且受试者认为自己处于低驾驶负荷状态时，就要按下手指佩戴的按钮)”可知，按下按钮代表驾驶员处于放松的驾驶状态。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed an adaptable algorithm (算法), which can improve road safety by predicting when drivers are able to safely interact with in-vehicle systems or receive messages, such as incoming calls and driving directions.(剑桥大学的研究人员研发了一种自适应算法，该算法能够通过预判驾驶员何时可安全与车载系统交互或接收来电、行车导航等信息，提升道路安全)”可知，本文主要介绍剑桥大学开发的新算法，它的作用是判断司机的驾驶负荷，确定何时适合打断司机推送信息，保证驾驶安全，核心围绕何时适合打断驾驶推送信息展开，因此B项“When to Interrupt(何时打断)”最贴合主旨，适合作标题。 D Many cultures have the typical example of independent geniuses. The truth, however, is that this model is more fictional than real. There are examples of great minds who did their best work alone, but over the course of history, groundbreaking insights tend to prefer groups of people sharing, reviewing, and evaluating each other’s ideas through shared social networks. Innovation clusters (集群) are a modern interpretation on this historic trend. These hotbeds of creative businesses produce new technologies at fantastic rates. These businesses attract money, talent, and experienced workers, and then more new industries can be attracted to the area. Why they work and how they operate can cast light on the nature of innovation and offer a blueprint for a more inventive future. The idea that businesses tend to cluster isn’t new. However, the idea of purposefully concentrating businesses together to focus on innovation, research, and development is more recent. The results have been mixed but are absolutely breathtaking when they turn out. The best example is California’s Silicon Valley, where thousands of high-tech companies are based. In 2018, the Brookings Institution investigated Silicon Valley. It reported the density (密度) of firms within a given area was regarded as a crucial element, with more firms often leading to higher productivity increases for the region. However, innovation clusters aren’t a risk-free move. There are cases of clusters that ultimately came to nothing. Malaysia’s BioValley, an attempt to create an innovation cluster, was such an example. While the Malaysian government made a large amount of funding available for this project, the businesses could not take advantage of it. BioValley lacked enough skilled workers for the proposed companies, and it had difficulties convincing qualified workers from elsewhere to come to Malaysia. Besides, it lacked local demand for biotechnology to keep new businesses running once started. Just because an area would like to be the site of a new innovation cluster doesn’t mean it can be. 12. What is a common misunderstanding of innovation? A. It is driven by individual wisdom. B. It is based on the fictional models. C. It can be fueled by social networking. D. It arises from competition among geniuses. 13. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The significance of innovation clusters. B. The rise of high-tech companies. C. The strategies for promoting innovation. D. The pattern of business operation. 14. What does the example of Silicon Valley imply about business clustering? A. It guarantees economic stability. B. It produces remarkable outcomes. C. It weakens competitive pressure. D. It rarely applies to high-tech fields. 15. Which of the following measures can help solve BioValley’s problems? ① Import more advanced equipment ② Establish more training programs ③ Secure the supply of qualified workers ④ Increase investment in the biotechnology project ⑤ Stimulate a market for biotechnological products A. ①②⑤ B. ①③④ C. ②③⑤ D. ③④⑤ 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍创新并非依靠个人天才，多依靠团队协作，介绍创新集群利弊并举例正反案例。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many cultures have the typical example of independent geniuses. The truth, however, is that this model is more fictional than real.(许多文化都有独立天才的典型例子。然而事实是，这种模式虚构多于现实)”可知，人们普遍误解创新是由个人智慧推动的。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Innovation clusters (集群) are a modern interpretation on this historic trend. These hotbeds of creative businesses produce new technologies at fantastic rates. These businesses attract money, talent, and experienced workers, and then more new industries can be attracted to the area. Why they work and how they operate can cast light on the nature of innovation and offer a blueprint for a more inventive future.(创新集群是这一历史趋势的现代解读。这些创意企业的温床以极快的速度产出新技术。这些企业吸引资金、人才和熟练工人，随后更多新产业会被吸引到该地区。它们的运作原理有助于揭示创新的本质，为更具创造力的未来提供蓝图)”可知，第二段主要讲创新集群的重要意义。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It reported the density (密度) of firms within a given area was regarded as a crucial element, with more firms often leading to higher productivity increases for the region.(报告指出，特定区域内的企业密度被视为关键因素，更多企业往往会带来该地区生产力的大幅提升)”可知，硅谷案例表明企业集群能带来显著成效。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“BioValley lacked enough skilled workers for the proposed companies, and it had difficulties convincing qualified workers from elsewhere to come to Malaysia. Besides, it lacked local demand for biotechnology to keep new businesses running once started.(生物谷缺少入驻企业所需的熟练工人，也难以吸引外地合格工人前来。此外，当地缺少生物技术本土需求，无法维持新企业运营)”可知，解决办法是培养人才、保障合格工人供给、刺激生物产品市场，对应②③⑤。 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。 Recently, I came across an image on the Internet: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are foolish. That’s not true. It’s easy to look at the damage and conclude we’re stupid. ____16____ Our ancestors (祖先) burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. ____17____ They chose fossil fuels out of love for a safer, easier life. That shared goal of a better life has led to amazing progress. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1%, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. ____18____ So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people. ____19____ It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. As I thought about all this, my doubt about the crying Earth turned to a clear answer. ____20____ That doesn’t mean we’ll get everything right the first time. New problems are unavoidable in any effort to address climate change and intelligence doesn’t mean never making mistakes. It means seeing them, feeling responsible, and trying again — better, wiser, together. A. But that’s not the whole story. B. To our credit, we aren’t bad at addressing this. C. Therefore, it is essential to abandon fossil fuels. D. That is the story I need to believe: the story of us. E. I want my son to think humans are problem solvers. F. They simply didn’t have the science to see the long-term cost. G. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved? 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】作者由哭泣的地球图片有感，辩证看待人类发展与环境问题，肯定人类智慧与纠错能力。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s easy to look at the damage and conclude we’re stupid.(人们很容易只看到破坏就断定我们是愚蠢的)”可知，此处需要转折，引出完整客观的看法。A选项“But that’s not the whole story.(但这并不是事情的全部真相)”语义转折，衔接上下文。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems.(我们的祖先燃烧煤炭来解决紧急问题)”以及下文“They chose fossil fuels out of love for a safer, easier life.(他们选择化石燃料是为了更安全、更轻松的生活)”可知，此处解释祖先使用煤炭的客观原因。F选项“They simply didn’t have the science to see the long-term cost.(他们当时没有科学知识去预见长远代价)”符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement.(想象一下本·富兰克林或马克·吐温看到如今进步会写下怎样的文章)”可知，此处承接前文，延续感慨提问。G选项“How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved?(他们看到我们的成就怎能不热泪盈眶)”衔接前文，逻辑连贯。 【19题详解】 根据上文“We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people.(我们已经知道这会危害环境和人类)”以及下文 “we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up.(我们清理整治环境问题面做得不错)”可知，此处说明人类善于解决此类危害问题。B选项“To our credit, we aren’t bad at addressing this.(值得称赞的是，我们很擅长解决这类问题)”承接上下文。 【20题详解】 根据上文“my doubt about the crying Earth turned to a clear answer.(我对哭泣地球的疑惑变成了明确答案)”和下文“That doesn’t mean we’ll get everything right the first time. New problems are unavoidable in any effort to address climate change and intelligence doesn’t mean never making mistakes. It means seeing them, feeling responsible, and trying again — better, wiser, together.(这并不意味着我们初次行事就能事事圆满。在应对气候变化的各项行动中，新问题难免出现，拥有智慧也从不代表永不犯错。真正的智慧，是正视问题、主动担责，而后携手同心，以更完善的方式、更成熟的思路重新出发)”可知，作者的“答案”是人类善于解决问题。E选项“I want my son to think humans are problem solvers.(我希望儿子明白，人类是善于解决问题的群体)”承上启下，且呼应段首“I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are foolish.(我不愿让八岁的儿子认为人类是愚昧无知的)”。 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。 A week ago, I decided to gather some neighbors to create a community garden. The ____21____ came from two abandoned flower beds at the top of our street, filled with weeds, garbage, and dog waste. “Why are we ____22____ this place?” I thought. I figured anything we did would be an improvement. Luckily, the neighbors were all in. We ____23____ glass, plastic bags and tons of other garbage. We did not receive any funding, so we had to be ____24____. We started with the smaller bed, getting plants from our gardens. Jasmine, a chef, ____25____ her tulips (郁金香). “Plant them near the base of the apple tree,” she advised. Frank, with an amazing front garden, ____26____ roses and carnations (康乃馨). Once the flowers were planted, with a few interesting rocks well ____27____, all of a sudden, a beautiful garden came into being. The larger bed was still a ____28____. I wanted to weed it but the soil was ____29____. When I was thinking about ____30____ it, neighbors across the street cut branches from a large tree, leaving a giant pile of coverings on the street, so I ____31____ them onto the bed to hold back the ____32____ and improve the soil. Every time I walk past, I am amazed at how quickly we ____33____ the space. It’s far from ____34____, but no garden ever is. The ____35____ lies in the ongoing process. 21.

Anxiously, I looked through the list of selected basketball players on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. Walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes, because I had failed the tryouts three times in a row. After school, as I went to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw my friends gathered there, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them. As dad drove me home, he comforted me softly, “Well, failing to make the basketball team is not the end of the world, nor is it a sign of failure.” I shook my head, voice trembling with despair, “I really work hard every day, practicing shooting until my hands ache. But I’m just not good enough.” “Well, what are you going to do about it?” he asked. Surprised, I didn’t know what to say. Seeing how depressed I was, dad came up with an idea. “The weekend is coming. Let’s go somewhere to relax and take your mind off basketball. You’ve been pushing yourself too hard lately.” I nodded weakly, not wanting to let him down, even though I still felt empty inside. On Saturday morning, dad took me to the community swimming pool. I just sat by the pool, not in the mood to join. But when dad pulled me into the water, something unexpected happened — I felt extremely comfortable and relaxed as soon as my body touched the water. It seemed I was born to be in the water; every stroke (游泳姿势) felt natural, and I didn’t even need to try hard to stay afloat. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I signed up for the school swimming team tryouts. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind. I realized that maybe basketball wasn’t my thing, but there was something else I could be good at — swimming. I remembered how natural and easy it felt when I was in the water. What I needed to do was to give it my best shot and see what would happen. I turned to dad and said excitedly, “I think I want to try out for the swimming team!” Dad smiled and nodded, clearly proud of my decision. I signed up for the school swimming team tryouts. When the day of the tryouts came, I was nervous but also excited because I knew this was a chance that I couldn’t miss. I practiced hard every day after school, and my skills improved so much that I was confident I would make the team. On the day of the tryouts, I swam my best and felt great in the water. A few days later, when the results were posted, I couldn’t believe my eyes — I had made the team! I was so happy and grateful to dad for taking me to the pool that day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者多次未能入选篮球队后心情低落，父亲带他去社区游泳池放松，作者意外发现自己游泳天赋的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者想到或许自己可以在游泳方面发展，并决定尝试。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者报名参加游泳队选拔，并努力训练，最终成功入选。 2.续写线索：想到游泳——决定尝试——报名选拔——努力训练——成功入选 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②训练：practice/train/exercise ③提高：improve/better/boost 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/anxious/uneasy ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】I realized that maybe basketball wasn’t my thing, but there was something else I could be good at — swimming.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和省略了关系词that的定语从句) 【高分句型2】What I needed to do was to give it my best shot and see what would happen.(运用了what引导的主语从句和what的宾语从句) 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检测 高二英语试题 2026.4 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．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。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Each week throughout October, we’re offering safe and enjoyable ways to celebrate our region’s amazing things. We’re so grateful that farmers have worked with us to permanently conserve more than 18,000 acres (英亩) of agricultural land. Calling attention to their commitment to farming — now and for future generations — is why we host our annual Farmland Cycling Tour. This year, we want to hear about your connections to local farms and the produce that makes this season so special — by sharing it at FarmsForever. Week One: Ride It While we’re not able to host a group ride this year, we are making it easy for you to ride the route yourself, with free, downloadable GPS files of our 25-mile and 45-mile bike routes. Week Two: Dig It To support community farming, we’re excited to update you this week on two projects that Scenic Hudson plans to develop: urban farms in Newburgh and Poughkeepsie. Week Three: Spin It Join Project Manager Anthony on a 15-mile virtual ride past beautiful farms. From the comfort and safety of your own bike, you can enjoy the same workout and sights experienced by cyclists who participate in our Farmland Cycling Tour through a professionally produced video class. Week Four: Carve It This year, we can’t host our popular Pumpkins in the Park gathering, but we’ve come up with some fun virtual alternatives. You and your family can create a FarmsForever jack-o’-lantern, share in the Halloween spirit and support our local farmers. 1. What is the purpose of the annual Farmland Cycling Tour? A.

Which activity offers a tour through a special video? A. Ride It. B. Dig It. C. Spin It. D. Carve It. B A month or two after I started teaching in New York, I had to make some changes to the class schedule. “We’ll need to prepone the test, I’m afraid,” I said, preparing myself to deal with the complaints from my students that were sure to follow. Instead, there was a deafening silence. I looked around to see my students’ faces — their blank expressions told me that “I have no idea what you just said.” It was then that I found out that prepone was not an actual word in English, based on the belief held by linguistic (语言学的) authorities that all proper words in a language must be found in a dictionary. I had grown up in India where people believe prepone means the opposite of postpone. In my native country, fluency in English is regarded as a mark of better education. As an English major, I possessed a wide vocabulary and a deep fondness for reading Dickens, Austen and other literary giants, and my comfort in English had gradually shaped my sense of self. While leaving India took me out of my familiar linguistic environment, it also opened my eyes to the rich world of English. In fact, there are many varieties of English that have developed in English- influenced countries like Singapore, South Africa and Malaysia. These countries have taken a foreign language they gradually adopted and made it their own. Despite the linguistic dominance, it is reasonable to acknowledge the value of these localized versions of English instead of just seeing them as “not right.” Though prepone has not yet been formally recognized as standard English, it shouldn’t be considered as a wrong English word. These days, I’ve made it my mission to make this little word widely liked and tell my students all about it! I firmly believe that such localized expressions deserve to be valued rather than dismissed. 4. Why was there silence among the students? A. They were preparing themselves for a test. B. They were confused by the class schedule. C. They lacked concentration at that moment. D. They failed to get what the teacher said. 5. How did the author feel about his English level? A. Anxious. B. Ashamed. C. Confident. D. Doubtful. 6. Why are many countries mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To stress they truly value foreign languages. B. To highlight standard English is dominant. C. To demonstrate English is widely spread. D. To prove English has diverse varieties. 7. What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A. Localized English matters. B. Standard English has tricky words. C. English emphasizes accuracy. D. English may well be undervalued. C Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed an adaptable algorithm (算法), which can improve road safety by predicting when drivers are able to safely interact with in-vehicle systems or receive messages, such as incoming calls and driving directions. “If you’re in a demanding driving situation, that would be a bad time to interrupt the driver with a message on a screen,” said co-first author Bashar Ahmad. A driver’s workload can change frequently. Driving in a new area, in heavy traffic or poor road conditions, for example, is usually more demanding than a daily commute. The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour and road conditions to measure the driver’s workload, so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems can interact at the right time. In that case, drivers are only prompted at times of low workload, so they can keep their full concentration on the road in more stressful driving situations. To measure drivers’ workload, the researchers first collected drivers’ subjective workload information during driving. For the experiment, a phone showing a route on a navigation app was fixed to the car, next to a small LED ring light that would flash at regular periods. Participants all followed the same route through a mix of rural, urban and main roads. They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. Video analysis of the experiment, paired with the data from the buttons, allowed the researchers to identify high-workload situations. The researchers used the on-road data to develop a machine learning framework to assess drivers based on their average workload, and a Bayesian filtering approach to estimate the drivers’ real-time workload. “This research is vital for understanding the impact of our design from a user’s perspective, so that we can reduce unnecessary interruptions and continually improve safety and driving experiences,” said Senior Technical Specialist Lee Skrypchuk. 8. What is the main function of new algorithm? A. To guide drivers directly in unfamiliar areas. B. To reduce traffic accidents on main roads. C. To test advanced driver assistance systems. D. To support safe driver-vehicle interactions. 9. What does the underlined word “prompted” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Praised. B. Messaged. C. Monitored. D. Restricted. 10. What did pressing a finger-worn button indicate in the experiment? A. A relaxed driving state. B. A request for higher speed. C. A complex road condition. D. A failure of the LED light. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. How to Drive? B. When to Interrupt? C. Who’s Driving? D. What’s Algorithm? D Many cultures have the typical example of independent geniuses. The truth, however, is that this model is more fictional than real. There are examples of great minds who did their best work alone, but over the course of history, groundbreaking insights tend to prefer groups of people sharing, reviewing, and evaluating each other’s ideas through shared social networks. Innovation clusters (集群) are a modern interpretation on this historic trend. These hotbeds of creative businesses produce new technologies at fantastic rates. These businesses attract money, talent, and experienced workers, and then more new industries can be attracted to the area. Why they work and how they operate can cast light on the nature of innovation and offer a blueprint for a more inventive future. The idea that businesses tend to cluster isn’t new. However, the idea of purposefully concentrating businesses together to focus on innovation, research, and development is more recent. The results have been mixed but are absolutely breathtaking when they turn out. The best example is California’s Silicon Valley, where thousands of high-tech companies are based. In 2018, the Brookings Institution investigated Silicon Valley. It reported the density (密度) of firms within a given area was regarded as a crucial element, with more firms often leading to higher productivity increases for the region. However, innovation clusters aren’t a risk-free move. There are cases of clusters that ultimately came to nothing. Malaysia’s BioValley, an attempt to create an innovation cluster, was such an example. While the Malaysian government made a large amount of funding available for this project, the businesses could not take advantage of it. BioValley lacked enough skilled workers for the proposed companies, and it had difficulties convincing qualified workers from elsewhere to come to Malaysia. Besides, it lacked local demand for biotechnology to keep new businesses running once started. Just because an area would like to be the site of a new innovation cluster doesn’t mean it can be. 12. What is a common misunderstanding of innovation? A. It is driven by individual wisdom. B. It is based on the fictional models. C. It can be fueled by social networking. D. It arises from competition among geniuses. 13. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The significance of innovation clusters. B. The rise of high-tech companies. C. The strategies for promoting innovation. D. The pattern of business operation. 14. What does the example of Silicon Valley imply about business clustering? A. It guarantees economic stability. B. It produces remarkable outcomes. C. It weakens competitive pressure. D. It rarely applies to high-tech fields. 15.

It’s easy to look at the damage and conclude we’re stupid. ____16____ Our ancestors (祖先) burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. ____17____ They chose fossil fuels out of love for a safer, easier life. That shared goal of a better life has led to amazing progress. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1%, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. ____18____ So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people. ____19____ It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. As I thought about all this, my doubt about the crying Earth turned to a clear answer. ____20____ That doesn’t mean we’ll get everything right the first time. New problems are unavoidable in any effort to address climate change and intelligence doesn’t mean never making mistakes. It means seeing them, feeling responsible, and trying again — better, wiser, together. A. But that’s not the whole story. B. To our credit, we aren’t bad at addressing this. C. Therefore, it is essential to abandon fossil fuels. D. That is the story I need to believe: the story of us. E. I want my son to think humans are problem solvers. F. They simply didn’t have the science to see the long-term cost. G. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved? 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。 A week ago, I decided to gather some neighbors to create a community garden.

Anxiously, I looked through the list of selected basketball players on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. Walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes, because I had failed the tryouts three times in a row. After school, as I went to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw my friends gathered there, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them. As dad drove me home, he comforted me softly, “Well, failing to make the basketball team is not the end of the world, nor is it a sign of failure.” I shook my head, voice trembling with despair, “I really work hard every day, practicing shooting until my hands ache. But I’m just not good enough.” “Well, what are you going to do about it?” he asked. Surprised, I didn’t know what to say. Seeing how depressed I was, dad came up with an idea. “The weekend is coming. Let’s go somewhere to relax and take your mind off basketball. You’ve been pushing yourself too hard lately.” I nodded weakly, not wanting to let him down, even though I still felt empty inside. On Saturday morning, dad took me to the community swimming pool. I just sat by the pool, not in the mood to join. But when dad pulled me into the water, something unexpected happened — I felt extremely comfortable and relaxed as soon as my body touched the water. It seemed I was born to be in the water; every stroke (游泳姿势) felt natural, and I didn’t even need to try hard to stay afloat. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I signed up for the school swimming team tryouts. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
