Back in 2003, Erica Hernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.
Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.”
Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!
As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.”
19. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station?
A. It is climate-damaging. B. It is ecologically-unfriendly.
C. It provides energy to the locals. D. It uses seawater-driven generators.
20. Why does the author mention the governor?
A. To express Erica’s desperate mood. B. To show the great barriers Erica faced.
C. To stress the support from the government. D. To blame the protest on the official’s inaction.
21. Which of the following can best describe Erica?
A. Creative and industrious. B. Pioneering and curious.
C. Determined and responsible. D. Adventurous and talkative.
22. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story?
A. Courage is always rewarded in the end.
B. Success depends on teamwork and cooperation.
C. Young people can bring about change by speaking up.
D. Environmental protection should come before economic development.
C
Many companies have advertised a feature that enables users to employ AI as a recipe generator assistant. In one demonstration, a user asks the virtual assistant for a meal plan with ingredients (食材) they have, and the AI returns a list of recipes using those ingredients. In fact, the employment of AI in the brainstorming stage is also gaining increasing popularity. While that seems convenient, most of the press about the relationship between AI and cooking has been negative so far.
For years, chefs on popular video platforms have staged cook-offs between “real” and AI recipes, with the “real” chefs often winning. In 2022, Tasty, an online platform, compared a chocolate cake recipe generated by an AI tool with one developed by a professional cook. While the AI recipe baked up fine, the cook’s recipe won in a blind taste test. The tasters preferred the cook’s cake for its not-too-sweet and juicer flavor compared to the AI cake.
Sarah and Kaitlin Leung are sisters who run a famous food blog. Their recipes go through a long process. They brainstorm ideas, do research, and experiment a lot before testing each recipe up to 40 times. “We know that our readers are trusting us, so we try to make sure our recipe not only works but is also easy to follow,” Sarah says. “The stories that surround these recipes and the connections that we make with people through these recipes are priceless — it’s so deeply human. By comparison, the machine doesn’t eat and the machine can’t taste.”
“It’s not all negative for me.” A software engineer Olson believes AI has a place in the recipe development process. He adds, “but I don’t think the technology is there to the point where you can have an entirely AI-generated blog, although that would be a cool concept. Maybe someone should try it and see how it goes.”
23. What can AI do in developing a recipe?
A. Planning the budget. B. Shortening cooking time.
C. Coming up with ideas. D. Demonstrating cooking methods.
24. What can we know about the competition launched by Tasty?
A. The AI tool was developed by a cook.
B. The result agrees with those of prior years.
C. The cook’s cake tasted sweeter and juicier.
D. The comparison was based on the appearance.
25. How does the sisters ensure the quality of their recipes on their food blog?
A. By doing multiple trials. B. By learning the recipes from AI.
C. By using priceless ingredients. D. By following standard procedures.
26. What is Olson’s attitude towards entirely AI-generated blogs?
A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Reserved. D. Critical.
D
In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs.
In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad.
So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.
Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection.
At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed.
27. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”?
A. A student actively seeks feedback from teachers.
B. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills.
C. A boy refuses to attend his cousin’s birthday party.
D. An employee buries himself in research and data analysis.
28. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur?
A. It blocks out distractions. B. It keeps us from feeling bad.
C. It helps us see things positively. D. It encourages independent thinking.
29. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Expose. B. Remove. C. Deepen. D. Transform.
30. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet
B. Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters
C. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option
D. From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience
第二节 短文填空(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。
I’ve always disliked getting up in winter. As a child, I would drag myself out of bed, my eyes half-closed, and watch my school uniform warming on the radiator. ____31____ It’s too dark, and I am always half-asleep.
____32____ Most of them are fun, but few really change my life in the long run. Sunrise alarm clocks, however, are different. They’ve become a fundamental part of my morning routine. My top picks, the Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 and Philips SmartSleep, have greatly benefited me. I’m waking up every day feeling more energetic and mentally sharper.
Essentially, sunrise alarm clocks are a combination of alarm clock and light treatment device that shines with increasing brightness as your wake-up time approaches. The light interacts with our natural sleep-wake cycle, much as the sun does when it rises. ____33____
Sunrise alarm clocks also promote healthier sleep habits. In our tech-driven world, waking up often means immediately checking our phones. An important strength of sunrise alarm clocks is that your morning wake-up no longer involves your phone. Stopping a smartphone alarm means your day begins with eyes on-screen. ____34____ But with these clocks, you can start the day with a clearer mind and more concentration.
Sleep is personal, and no single device fits everyone. But for me, sunrise alarm clocks have been a game-changer. They’re affordable, with quality models available for under £30. ____35____ After all, some morning people are made, not born.
A. They prove to fall into this unique category.

The secret doesn’t just come from using a hot stove top. It’s also important to use the right kind of woks — and Steph Li expresses a preference for ____57____ (one) made with carbon steel. There are two extra things a home cook can do: One is to add soy sauce around the edge of the wok ____58____ (give) food a “seared (焦的) soy sauce flavor”. The second is to take a kitchen torch (火枪) in a method called “torch hei” — that involves spreading food in a single layer on a baking sheet ____59____ “giving it a few leisurely passes with a torch”. When I cook with a carbon steel wok and add some seared soy sauce to the mix, I can almost smell ____60____ breath of the wok — and suddenly, it’s like I hear my dad pushing open my kitchen door, saying, “I like the food here.”

Mr. Hopkins’ bookstore was a quiet island in the noisy stream of the modern city. For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing.
The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces.
The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business.
Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.”
On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong.
Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest.
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。
Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard.

Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction
began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2025-2026学年下学期期中考
高二英语
(本试卷共12页,81小题,满分150分。考试用时120分钟。)
第I卷(共95分)
一、语法选择(共15题,每小题1分,满分15分)
请从1-15题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出正确的一项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
1. My job was to wash bottles, which would then be filled with wine, or__________ the filled bottles in boxes.
A. to put B. putting C. having put D. being put
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的工作是洗瓶子,然后这些瓶子会被装满酒,或者把装满酒的瓶子放进盒子里。句中主语为My job,系动词为was,其后跟动词不定式作表语;连词or连接两个并列的不定式作表语。
2. Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple, but it remains ______whether they will enjoy it.
A. to see B. seeing
C. seen D. to be seen
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:去国外旅行对老年夫妻当然是有好处的,但是他们是否能享受旅行还有待考察。根据语境可知,此处是固定短语remain to be done“有待完成”,为实义动词的不定式,则表示有待要做的事情,动作尚未发生。故选D。
3. Her greatest ambition since childhood has been__________ a doctor and help people in poor areas.
A. become B. becoming C. to become D. to becoming
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:她从小最大的抱负就是成为一名医生,帮助贫困地区的人们。句中has been为系动词,其后需接非谓语动词作表语。当主语是ambition(抱负)、goal(目标)等词时,通常使用动词不定式作表语来表示具体的目的或计划;此外,空后的and连接并列结构,help为动词原形,说明其前省略了to,这也提示设空处应为不定式to become。
4. It is a great honor for any young scientist__________ to attend this international academic conference and present their latest research findings.
A. to invite B. to be invited C. to have invited D. being invited
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:对于任何年轻科学家来说,被邀请参加这个国际学术会议并展示他们最新的研究成果是一项巨大的荣誉。本句使用了It is + 名词 + for sb. + to do sth.的固定句型,其中It为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。不定式的逻辑主语是any young scientist(任何年轻科学家),与动词invite(邀请)之间构成被动关系,表示“被邀请”,因此需要使用动词不定式的被动式to be invited。
5. __________ those ancient temples which date back to the Tang Dynasty and have witnessed numerous historical changes is the top priority of the local government this year.
A. To preserve B. To be preserved
C. To have preserved D. Having been preserved
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:保护那些追溯到唐朝并见证了无数历史变迁的古庙是今年当地政府的首要任务。句子的谓语动词是is,空格处需填入非谓语动词作主语。动词preserve与后面的宾语those ancient temples之间是主动关系,且表示一项具体的任务或将来的动作,应用动词不定式的主动语态一般式作主语。
6. It was extremely wrong of you __________ your parents’ sincere advice when they were trying their best to help you get through the most difficult period of your senior high school life.
A. not taking B. taking not C. not to take D. to not take
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:当你的父母尽最大努力帮助你度过高中生活最困难的时期时,你不听从他们真诚的建议是极其错误的。该句为固定句型“It is/was + adj. + of sb. + to do sth.”,意为“某人做某事是……的”,其中it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式,动词不定式的否定形式是在to前面加not。
7. “What time will you come to see us tomorrow?” they asked.
They asked me what time__________ to see__________ the next day.
A. you would go; you B. would I come; them
C. you would go; them D. I would go; them
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:“你明天什么时候来看我们?”他们问。/他们问我第二天什么时候去看他们。直接引语变间接引语时,特殊疑问句需改为陈述语序,即“疑问词+主语+谓语”;主句谓语动词asked为一般过去时,从句时态应由一般将来时(will)变为过去将来时(would);人称代词需根据句意进行转换,原句中的you指的是me,故改为I,原句中的“us”指的是they,作宾语故改为them;同时,动词come通常改为go。
8. The young man asked me__________ with me.
A. what’s the matter B. what was the matter
C. what the matter is D. what the matter was
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:那个年轻人问我怎么了。宾语从句要使用陈述语序,但在What's the matter?这一固定句型中,疑问词what作主语,因此其陈述语序保持不变,仍为what is/was the matter。此外,主句谓语动词asked为一般过去时,根据主从句时态一致的原则,宾语从句也应使用过去的相应时态,即一般过去时what was the matter。
9. —Why do you want to work for our company?
—This is the job that I__________ for ever since I graduated.
A. looked B. am to look C. had looked D. have been looking
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你为什么想在我们公司工作?——这就是我自从毕业以来一直在寻找的工作。根据句中的时间状语“ever since I graduated”可知,动作从过去某一时刻(毕业)开始一直持续到现在,并且可能还在继续,因此定语从句的谓语动词需用现在完成进行时。
10. By the end of this year, we__________ this challenging project successfully.
A. will complete B. will have completed
C. have completed D. have been completing
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:到今年年底,我们将成功完成这个具有挑战性的项目。句中带有时间状语By the end of this year,表示到将来某个时间点为止将会完成的动作,主句应使用将来完成时,其结构为will have + 过去分词。
11. The Science Museum, __________ we visited during a recent trip to Britain, is one of London’s tourist attractions.

12. There are occasions ________ backpackers are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere.
A. when B. where C. which D. that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:有时背包客会累得有个地方就能睡着。分析句子可知,这里考查There are occasions when...表“有时……”,为固定句型,其中when后面引导定语从句(关系词指代先行词occasions并在从句中作时间状语 )。故选A项。
13. Is ________ some German friends visited last week?
A. this school B. this the school
C. this school one D. this school where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查一般疑问句。句意:这是上周一些德国朋友参观过的学校吗?这句话可改为:This is the school that some German friends visited last week.不难看出,作表语的the school是先行词。that引导了定语从句,又因为that同时又作visited的宾语,所以被省略了。故选B项。
14. Dr. Rowan, __________ secretary resigned two weeks ago, has to do all his own typing.
A. whose B. of whom C. his D. that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:罗文博士的秘书两周前辞职了,他不得不自己做所有的打字工作。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Dr. Rowan。从句中secretary前缺少定语,表示“罗文博士的秘书”,应用关系代词whose引导该从句。
15. I have bought two ballpens,________ writes well.

Back in 2003, Erica Hernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.
Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.”
Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!
As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.”
19. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station?
A. It is climate-damaging. B. It is ecologically-unfriendly.
C. It provides energy to the locals. D. It uses seawater-driven generators.
20. Why does the author mention the governor?
A. To express Erica’s desperate mood. B. To show the great barriers Erica faced.
C. To stress the support from the government. D. To blame the protest on the official’s inaction.
21. Which of the following can best describe Erica?
A. Creative and industrious. B. Pioneering and curious.
C. Determined and responsible. D. Adventurous and talkative.
22. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story?
A. Courage is always rewarded in the end.
B. Success depends on teamwork and cooperation.
C. Young people can bring about change by speaking up.
D. Environmental protection should come before economic development.
【答案】19. B 20. B 21. C 22. C

Many companies have advertised a feature that enables users to employ AI as a recipe generator assistant. In one demonstration, a user asks the virtual assistant for a meal plan with ingredients (食材) they have, and the AI returns a list of recipes using those ingredients. In fact, the employment of AI in the brainstorming stage is also gaining increasing popularity. While that seems convenient, most of the press about the relationship between AI and cooking has been negative so far.
For years, chefs on popular video platforms have staged cook-offs between “real” and AI recipes, with the “real” chefs often winning. In 2022, Tasty, an online platform, compared a chocolate cake recipe generated by an AI tool with one developed by a professional cook. While the AI recipe baked up fine, the cook’s recipe won in a blind taste test. The tasters preferred the cook’s cake for its not-too-sweet and juicer flavor compared to the AI cake.
Sarah and Kaitlin Leung are sisters who run a famous food blog. Their recipes go through a long process. They brainstorm ideas, do research, and experiment a lot before testing each recipe up to 40 times. “We know that our readers are trusting us, so we try to make sure our recipe not only works but is also easy to follow,” Sarah says. “The stories that surround these recipes and the connections that we make with people through these recipes are priceless — it’s so deeply human. By comparison, the machine doesn’t eat and the machine can’t taste.”
“It’s not all negative for me.” A software engineer Olson believes AI has a place in the recipe development process. He adds, “but I don’t think the technology is there to the point where you can have an entirely AI-generated blog, although that would be a cool concept. Maybe someone should try it and see how it goes.”
23. What can AI do in developing a recipe?
A. Planning the budget. B. Shortening cooking time.
C. Coming up with ideas. D. Demonstrating cooking methods.
24. What can we know about the competition launched by Tasty?
A. The AI tool was developed by a cook.
B. The result agrees with those of prior years.
C. The cook’s cake tasted sweeter and juicier.
D. The comparison was based on the appearance.
25. How does the sisters ensure the quality of their recipes on their food blog?
A. By doing multiple trials. B. By learning the recipes from AI.
C. By using priceless ingredients. D. By following standard procedures.
26. What is Olson’s attitude towards entirely AI-generated blogs?
A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Reserved. D. Critical.
【答案】23. C 24. B 25. A 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了人工智能(AI)在食谱开发领域的应用情况,包括其优势、局限性以及人们对其不同的看法。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In one demonstration, a user asks the virtual assistant for a meal plan with ingredients (食材) they have, and the AI returns a list of recipes using those ingredients. (在一次演示中,用户向虚拟助手提出请求,希望根据自己所拥有的食材制定一份餐食计划,随后人工智能便返回了一份利用这些食材制作的食谱清单。)”可知,人工智能在开发食谱方面能提出一些想法,故选C。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For years, chefs on popular video platforms have staged cook-offs between “real” and AI recipes, with the “real” chefs often winning. In 2022, Tasty, an online platform, compared a chocolate cake recipe generated by an AI tool with one developed by a professional cook. While the AI recipe baked up fine, the cook’s recipe won in a blind taste test. (多年来,热门视频平台上的厨师们在“真正的”和人工智能的食谱之间进行烹饪比赛,“真正的”厨师经常获胜。2022年,在线平台Tasty将人工智能工具生成的巧克力蛋糕食谱与专业厨师制作的食谱进行了比较。虽然人工智能的食谱烤得很好,但厨师的食谱在盲品测试中胜出。)”可知,Tasty发起的比赛的结果与前几年的结果一致。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They brainstorm ideas, do research, and experiment a lot before testing each recipe up to 40 times. (她们集思广益,做研究,做很多实验,然后把每个食谱测试40次。)”可知,这对姐妹通过多次试验在她们的美食博客上保证食谱的质量。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He adds, “but I don’t think the technology is there to the point where you can have an entirely AI-generated blog, although that would be a cool concept. Maybe someone should try it and see how it goes.” (他补充道:“但我不认为现在的技术可以让你拥有一个完全由人工智能生成的博客,尽管这将是一个很酷的概念。也许有人应该试试,看看效果如何。”)”可知,Olson对完全由人工智能生成的博客的态度是有所保留的,故选C。

In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs.
In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad.
So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.
Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection.
At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed.
27. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”?
A. A student actively seeks feedback from teachers.
B. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills.
C. A boy refuses to attend his cousin’s birthday party.
D. An employee buries himself in research and data analysis.
28. Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur?
A. It blocks out distractions. B. It keeps us from feeling bad.
C. It helps us see things positively. D. It encourages independent thinking.
29. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Expose. B. Remove. C. Deepen. D. Transform.
30. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet
B. Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters
C. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option
D. From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience
【答案】27. B 28. B 29. C 30. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍 “鸵鸟效应”,即人们刻意回避负面信息。实验显示儿童随年龄增长更易回避不利信息,原因是逃避负面情绪。该行为短期有益,但长期有害个人与社会,人们应保持好奇、增强韧性。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something. Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand.(在这样一个信息泛滥的世界里,人们竟然常常故意不去学习新知识,这似乎有些奇怪。无论是逃避后续的医生检查,还是拒绝阅读一篇令人不安的新闻文章,这种行为都有一个名称:这就是“鸵鸟效应”,就像传说中那只把头埋进沙子里的鸵鸟一样)”可知,一位女士对她的信用卡账单视而不见体现了“鸵鸟效应”。故选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions.(通过避免获取知识,人们能够在短期内保护自己免受负面情绪的侵扰)”可知,“鸵鸟效应”出现是因为它能让我们避免感到痛苦。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“political divides or rigid beliefs(政治分歧或僵化的观念)”以及“When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection.(当人们刻意忽视那些挑战其世界观的观点时,他们就会失去成长、理解和建立联系的机会)”可知,人们刻意忽视那些挑战其世界观的观点时就会失去成长、理解和建立联系的机会,即回避行为会加深政治分歧或固化僵化的观念。故划线词意思是“加深”。故选C。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed.(从本质上讲,“鸵鸟效应”揭示了人类内心深处的一些东西。我们是好奇的生物,但也是脆弱的。我们渴望了解,但又害怕了解后可能带来的后果。这种矛盾的心理每天都在影响着我们的决策。这就是为什么研究人员强调,教育孩子不仅要培养好奇心,还要培养坚韧的品质,并且要时刻抓住学习、适应和成功的机会)”结合本文介绍 “鸵鸟效应”,即人们刻意回避负面信息。实验显示儿童随年龄增长更易回避不利信息,原因是逃避负面情绪。该行为短期有益,但长期有害个人与社会,人们应保持好奇、增强韧性。可知,A选项“为何无知竟会如此美好”最符合文章标题。故选A。

An important strength of sunrise alarm clocks is that your morning wake-up no longer involves your phone. Stopping a smartphone alarm means your day begins with eyes on-screen. ____34____ But with these clocks, you can start the day with a clearer mind and more concentration.
Sleep is personal, and no single device fits everyone. But for me, sunrise alarm clocks have been a game-changer. They’re affordable, with quality models available for under £30. ____35____ After all, some morning people are made, not born.
A. They prove to fall into this unique category.
B. Interested in tech, I often test fascinating devices.
C. Therefore, we wake up biologically prepared for the day.
D. The path to endless screen time is just a fingerprint away.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Ask a Cantonese cook what “wok hei (锅气)” is, and the matter-of-fact description might refer to it as “that smoky flavor”. A more poetic one comes from Chef Steph Li, the owner of Savory Kitchen, ____51____ describes it as a quality achieved from “that ____52____ (mystery) taste of the restaurant oil and the ___53___ (noticeable) deeper restaurant browning.” My dad has always been a wok hei lover — that restaurant magic is his gold standard.
Wok hei can only happen when food ____54____ (cook) at very high heat. Unfortunately, that heat is hard to achieve on a home stove top. ____55____ a professional cook, I’ve spent 15 years ____56____ (experiment) with wok hei in a home kitchen. Last year, I finally got there.
The secret doesn’t just come from using a hot stove top. It’s also important to use the right kind of woks — and Steph Li expresses a preference for ____57____ (one) made with carbon steel. There are two extra things a home cook can do: One is to add soy sauce around the edge of the wok ____58____ (give) food a “seared (焦的) soy sauce flavor”. The second is to take a kitchen torch (火枪) in a method called “torch hei” — that involves spreading food in a single layer on a baking sheet ____59____ “giving it a few leisurely passes with a torch”. When I cook with a carbon steel wok and add some seared soy sauce to the mix, I can almost smell ____60____ breath of the wok — and suddenly, it’s like I hear my dad pushing open my kitchen door, saying, “I like the food here.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“锅气”的定义、形成条件,以及作者作为专业厨师,分享在家中厨房做出“锅气”的秘诀。
【51题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:另一种更具诗意的描述来自美味厨房的老板斯蒂芬・李,他将其描述为一种“来自餐厅食用油的神秘味道和更明显的餐厅式焦褐色”所带来的特质。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Chef Steph Li,指人,且定语从句中缺少主语,需用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。
【52题详解】
考查形容词。句意:另一种更具诗意的描述来自美味厨房的老板斯蒂芬・李,他将其描述为一种“来自餐厅食用油的神秘味道和更明显的餐厅式焦褐色”所带来的特质。此处修饰名词taste,需用形容词作定语;mystery的形容词形式是mysterious“神秘的”。故填mysterious。
【53题详解】
考查副词。句意:另一种更具诗意的描述来自美味厨房的老板斯蒂芬・李,他将其描述为一种“来自餐厅食用油的神秘味道和更明显的餐厅式焦褐色”所带来的特质。此处修饰形容词比较级deeper,需用副词;noticeable的副词形式是noticeably “明显地”。故填noticeably。
【54题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:只有当食物在极高温度下烹饪时,才能产生锅气。空处为从句谓语动词,主语food与cook是被动关系,且描述客观事实,故应用一般现在时的被动语态,food不可数,助动词用is。故填is cooked。
【55题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为一名专业厨师,我已经花了15年时间在家中厨房尝试做出锅气。此处表示“作为……”,需用介词as,位于句首首字母大写。故填As。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为一名专业厨师,我已经花了15 时间在家中厨房尝试做出锅气。spend + 时间 + doing sth.是固定搭配,意为“花费时间做某事”,因此空处用experiment的动名词形式,作宾语。故填experimenting。
【57题详解】
考查代词。句意:选择合适的锅也很重要——斯蒂芬・李表示偏爱用碳钢制成的锅。此处指代前文提到的woks,且泛指“某一类锅”,为避免重复,用代词ones(指代可数名词复数)。故填ones。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一是沿着锅边淋酱油,让食物带有“焦酱油味”。句中已有谓语动词is,空处应用非谓语动词,此处“添加酱油”的目的是“给食物‘焦酱油味’”,需用不定式作目的状语,故填to give。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意:第二种方法是使用厨房火枪,这种方法被称为“火枪气”——包括将食物在烤盘上摊成一层,然后用火枪慢慢烤几遍。空格前spreading food in a single layer on a baking sheet和空后giving it a few leisurely passes with a torch是顺承关系,需用连词and连接两个并列成分。故填and。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:当我用碳钢锅烹饪,并在食材中加入一些焦酱油时,我几乎能闻到锅的气息——突然间,我仿佛听到爸爸推开我厨房的门说:“我喜欢这里的菜。” 此处是特指锅所散发的气息,需用定冠词the修饰,表特指。故填the。

六、读后续写(共1小题;满分25分)
81. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mr. Hopkins’ bookstore was a quiet island in the noisy stream of the modern city. For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing.
The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces.
The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business.
Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.”
On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong.
Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest.
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。
Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction
began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. As Sarah flipped through the contract, David gripped The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stepping forward with courage. “Ms. Chen, may I show you something?” He laid out a bookmark, and faded photos — tangible threads of the neighborhood’s memories. “This store isn’t just wood and shelves: here I learned to dream, Mrs. Henderson reads to kids weekly, and Mr. Hopkins found my first poetry book.” His eyes glistened as children glanced from the corner, clutching books. “It’s a living legacy, not just profit.” Sarah’s pen froze, her gaze softening and hesitation flickering across her face.
A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. Workers handled the store with utmost care crafting a cozy café bar bathed in warm light. David volunteered diligently, sorting books and hanging lights that cast gentle glows on pages. When the doors reopened, joy filled the air: kids stretched on cushions reading, and elders chatted over the bar. Mr. Hopkins smiled by the door as the store breathed new life — no longer just a book lovers’ shelter, but a vibrant harbour where memories endured and new stories unfolded.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Hopkins先生的书店多年来一直是书迷们的避风港,如今却面临关闭,原因是Sarah Chen要收购这座建筑用于商业行为,心灰意冷的Hopkins先生也决定放手,但这对其中一名顾客David来说犹如晴天霹雳,书店承载着他童年的记忆,见证了他成长的历程,在最终会议的那天,David背着多年来从书店里收集来的物品早早到达,看着Sarah与Hopkins先生一起审查合同,他的心在胸膛里剧烈地跳动着。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“如果他没有努力让自己的声音被听到,他绝不能让这种情况发生”可知,第一段可描写David向Sarah展示自己带的东西,讲述书店的意义,Sarah态度变得缓和。
②由第二段首句内容“最终决定将书店和咖啡馆合二为一,开始进行建设。”可知,第二段可描写书店和咖啡馆建成,焕发出新的生机。
2.续写线索:走向Sarah——讲述书店的意义——态度变得柔和——最终决定——书店和咖啡馆建成——焕发新的生机
3.词汇激活
行为类
①浏览,草草翻阅:flip through/flick through
②铺开,展开:lay out/spread out
③闪闪发光:glisten/shine
