These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement. Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic. Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause crashes with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road. Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users. 1. What can be inferred about students’ views from paragraph 2? A. Biking safety must be ensured. B. Steps count in reducing infrastructure costs. C. Safety training outweighs facility upgrades. D. Stop signs effectively slow down traffic flow. 2. Why does the author mention Armand Dunkines’ accident? A. To call on motorists to follow the rules. B. To complain about the lack of bike lanes. C. To show the benefits of law enforcement. D. To criticize the poor design of infrastructure. 3. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Chicago’s New Traffic Rules for Cyclistsv . B. Teens’ Appeals for Safer Chicago Streets. C. The History of Chicago Cycling Programs. D. Chicago’s Shift toward Fewer Car Accidents. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍芝加哥交通部门完善行人与骑行者安全设施，当地青少年结合自身经历为城市道路安全提出多项改进建议。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe.(这些学生对在城市骑行心情复杂，虽享受自由感，却常常缺乏安全感。)”可知，学生们渴望骑行时能拥有安全保障，说明骑行安全必须得到重视和保障。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends.(阿曼德·邓金斯在自行车道突然中断处骑行时被撞，他呼吁城市依据数据规划自行车道布局并加强交通执法，尤其在周末。)”可知，作者列举他的遭遇，是为了说明道路基础设施设计存在缺陷不合理，对此进行批评并呼吁改进规划。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.(参与非营利骑行项目的青少年表达了对骑行安全的担忧，同时提出了具体的改进办法。)”以及后文多名青少年从设施、执法、观念等方面提出建议可知，文章围绕青少年呼吁打造芝加哥更安全的街道展开，因此“Teens’ Appeals for Safer Chicago Streets(青少年呼吁打造更安全的芝加哥街道)”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。 B Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His ‌“Extraordinary Voyages” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100 modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings. In the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the ‌“phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent. ‌“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist with tears.” Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the ‌“hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond. Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine to violently attack ships. For Verne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction. The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne. 4. How did the author illustrate Verne’s writing style? A. By listing figures. B. By quoting a saying. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving an example. 5. What is special about Verne’s writing compared with other writers? A. He preferred supernatural and imaginary ideas. B. He paid more attention to character development. C. He rooted his future visions in science and research. D. He wrote more thrilling stories about mad scientists. 6. What is Verne’s opinion on technology? A. Technology itself decides whether it is good or bad. B. Human nature plays a key role in technology’s use. C. Technology will certainly bring harm to human beings. D. Scientific progress is always the top goal of humans. 7. Which of the following can best describe Jules Verne? A. Creative and realistic. B. Humorous and cautious. C. Stubborn and optimistic. D. Traditional and productive. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了科幻小说之父Jules Verne的写作风格、作品特点、对科技的看法以及他的个人特质。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent.(在1889年的短篇小说《2889年》中，凡尔纳描绘了一个高度联网、拥有全球多媒体通信的世界。他描述了“声电电话”，这种设备可以远距离传送声音和图像。主人公弗里茨·拿破仑·史密斯能够通过这项技术与他在另一个大陆的妻子轻松交流)”和第四段中“Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction.(凡尔纳以技术为基础的冒险故事代表了一种通过小说想象未来的新方法)”可知，作者通过举例凡尔纳的短篇小说《2889年》来说明他的写作风格。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research.(与他那个时代其他写更富幻想或超自然故事的作家不同，凡尔纳的目标是在他的未来愿景中追求现实主义，总是把它们建立在尖端科学和他自己广泛的研究基础上)”可知，与其他作家相比，凡尔纳的写作的特别之处在于他将未来的愿景建立在科学和研究的基础上。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For Verne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.(对凡尔纳来说，人性决定了技术是成为一种向善的力量还是成为破坏的根源)”可知，凡尔纳认为人性在技术的使用中起着关键作用。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“His “Extraordinary Voyages” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100 modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.(他的《非凡之旅》系列将读者带到地球的遥远角落乃至更远的地方进行宏大的冒险。但凡尔纳所做的不仅仅是讲述有趣的故事——他还在自己的作品中预测了100多种现代发明和技术)”以及第四段“Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research.(与他那个时代其他写更富幻想或超自然故事的作家不同，凡尔纳的目标是在他的未来愿景中追求现实主义，总是把它们建立在尖端科学和他自己广泛的研究基础上)”可知，凡尔纳既富有创造力又追求现实主义。 C “When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to short video platforms and how that will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living. There must be scary times,” an influential content creator, Jimmy Donaldson, said. Donaldson’s concerns follow the release of a social media platform able to produce short-form AI videos, including videos of individuals who “upload” themselves onto the app. Other content creators have also spoken out about the consequences of platforms where every video is from AI. Still, Donaldson hasn’t shied away from having a go at the technology. In July, Donaldson made an online tool producing AI-made thumbnails (缩略图) for the public, but removed the feature about a week later after heavy criticism (批评) from other creators. He said he would replace the tool with links to human artists accepting commissions (委托创作). “I care more than any of you could ever imagine about the community,” he said in a video. “It makes me deeply sad when I do something that people in the community are angry at.” Online content creators are torn between using AI-generated video content and keeping away from AI creation. While more than 80% of content creators said they used AI tools for their content, including generating images and videos, one-third said they had concerns about the quality of the AI-generated content, and 45% said the technology would make it harder for human creators to stand out, according to a survey of 620 influencers. Not everyone sees AI as a bad thing for content creators. Amjad Hanif, a head of creator payments and products, said that the technology could help balance the playing field among creators who may not have the same resources as Donaldson. “A lot of the effects — the visual quality, the visual imagery — are tricky (难办的). Up until now it’s taken an expert team to be able to produce them,” Hanif said. “AI is going to make that available to a much broader group of creators.” 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. AI downloads information of users. B. AI boosts the spread of short videos. C. AI will bring challenges to creators. D. AI has replaced human creators online. 9. Why was Donaldson criticized? A. He created an AI tool. B. He promoted AI videos. C. He shared his videos. D. He disrespected human artists. 10. Why does the author mention the survey in paragraph 3? A. To support Donaldson’s concern. B. To show public support for AI. C. To stress the negative impact of AI. D. To show creators’ mixed feelings. 11. What is the advantage of AI according to Amjad Hanif? A. It helps create equal opportunity. B. It helps creators attract more viewers. C. It increases the payments for creators. D. It improves the special visual effects. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕人工智能视频技术对网络内容创作者的影响展开，介绍了创作者们对AI的复杂态度以及不同人士对AI作用的看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“‘When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to short video platforms and how that will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living. There must be scary times,’ an influential content creator, Jimmy Donaldson, said. (一位有影响力的内容创作者Jimmy Donaldson说：‘当AI视频和普通视频一样好时，我想知道这会对短视频平台产生什么影响，以及这将如何影响目前靠制作内容谋生的数百万创作者。那一定是可怕的时刻。’)”可知，AI视频技术的发展将给内容创作者带来挑战和冲击。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In July, Donaldson made an online tool producing AI-made thumbnails for the public, but removed the feature about a week later after heavy criticism from other creators. (7月，Donaldson制作了一个为公众生成AI缩略图的在线工具，但大约一周后在其他创作者的大量批评下移除了该功能。)”可知，Donaldson被批评的原因是他创建了一个AI工具。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“While more than 80% of content creators said they used AI tools for their content, including generating images and videos, one-third said they had concerns about the quality of the AI-generated content, and 45% said the technology would make it harder for human creators to stand out, according to a survey of 620 influencers. (根据一项对620名网红的调查，虽然超过80%的内容创作者表示他们在内容中使用了AI工具，包括生成图像和视频，但有三分之一的人表示他们对AI生成内容的质量有顾虑，45%的人表示这项技术将使人类创作者更难脱颖而出。)”可知，调查数据展示了创作者们既使用AI又对其存在顾虑的矛盾心态。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Amjad Hanif, a head of creator payments and products, said that the technology could help balance the playing field among creators who may not have the same resources as Donaldson. (创作者支付与产品负责人Amjad Hanif表示，这项技术可以帮助平衡那些可能没有Donaldson同样资源的创作者之间的竞争环境。)”可知，Amjad Hanif认为AI的优势在于能够帮助创造更平等的机会。 D A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions. Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder. 12. What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A. They need much higher maintenance fees. B. Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C. Their power output might be affected by the cold. D. They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 13. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A. They move much faster than lithium ones. B. They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C. Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D. They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 14. How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries? A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing causes. C. By describing a process. D. By making comparisons. 15. What is Phate Zhang’s suggestion about? A. Possible direction for future study. B. Choice of new research methods. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the finding. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了食盐中广泛含有的钠元素可用于制造钠离子电池，该电池相比锂离子电池耐寒能力更强、低温性能更优越，适合严寒环境下的电动汽车使用，但目前生产成本更高，未来需要在控成本的同时保留低温优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system.(在低温环境下，除非电池组配有主动加热系统，否则大多数锂离子电池只能输出原本容量的极小一部分。)” 可知，锂离子电动汽车的动力输出会受到寒冷天气的影响。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does.(虽然钠离子体积更大，但它们与液态电解质形成的结合键比锂离子更弱。)”及“This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte.(这使得它们比锂离子移动起来要容易得多，即便低温让电解液变得黏稠时也是如此。)” 可知，钠离子与电解质的相互作用比锂离子更微弱，因此在寒冷环境中运转表现更好。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market.(实验数据表明，在零下30摄氏度时，这款电池的放电功率是同等磷酸铁锂电池的近三倍，而磷酸铁锂电池是主导电动汽车市场的平价标准版电池。)” 可知，作者通过将钠离子电池与锂离子电池进行对比，展现钠离子电池的优越性。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第五段““We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang (Phate Zhang表示：“我们应当着手研究降低成本，同时保持其在低温下的优异性能。”)” 可知，Phate Zhang提出了未来研究和发展的努力方向。 第二节 七选五 (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。选项中有两项多余选项。 People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____. Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____. For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. It is believed that humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. B. Overuse harms professionalism. C. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. D. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. E. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. F. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. G. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章指出幽默能助力科学传播，可简化知识、提升参与度，但也存在潜在风险，科学传播中使用幽默需把握好平衡。 【16题详解】 由上文“This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online.(幽默的这种魔力不仅在日常生活中奏效，在科学领域也大放异彩，尤其是在网络上)”可知，前文指出幽默在科学领域的积极作用；E选项“A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.(一点幽默能极大地提升科学家的沟通效果)”承接上文的“shines in the field of science”，说明幽默对科学家沟通的正面影响，总起下文对幽默作用的具体阐述。 【17题详解】 由上文“Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.(首先，幽默能简化晦涩的科学知识)”可知，此处强调幽默对理解复杂科学知识的作用；G选项“It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.(它有助于让普通人理解复杂的概念)”对上文所说的作用进行进一步阐释，其中“making complex concepts understandable”与上文“simplifies tough scientific knowledge”相呼应，衔接紧密。 【18题详解】 下文“Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts.(科学家们在社交媒体上分享实验室实验的趣味故事，往往比枯燥的学术帖子吸引更多互动)”运用具体事例说明幽默能提升观众的参与度，空格处应提出该观点，C选项“It also boosts audience engagement effectively.(它还能有效提高观众的参与度)”与段首句“humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.(幽默简化了晦涩的科学知识。)”构成并列递进关系，引出下文的关于提升观众的参与度的具体阐释，其中“boosts audience engagement”与下文“attract more interactions”相呼应。 【19题详解】 由下文“The hidden risks deserve our attention.(其潜在的风险值得我们关注)”可知，此段转而讲述幽默在科学传播中的负面问题，空格处作为段首句，与上一段构成转折关系，起到转折过渡的作用，指出幽默有利也有弊；F选项“Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.(不过，科学传播中的幽默是一把双刃剑)”承接上文对幽默积极作用的阐述，引出下文的弊端与风险的分析，形成转折。 【20题详解】 由上文“Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness.(合理使用幽默需要在生动表达和专业严谨之间找到平衡。既不能掩盖核心的科学信息，也不能过于肤浅而失去严肃性)”可知，前文强调使用幽默的分寸；B选项“Overuse harms professionalism.(过度使用会损害专业性)”承接上文，指出不当使用的危害，符合语境，其中“Overuse”对应上文“neither... nor...”的不当使用情况，“harms professionalism”呼应“professional precision”，且为下文“掌握平衡拉近与公众距离”作反向铺垫。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When we are young, we often think getting older means losing the fun in life.

Its surface was worn smooth with age, and the metal lock showed signs of rust (铁锈). Drawn to it as a child, I would run my fingers over it, wondering what secrets it might hold. My grandmother always told me it was special, but she never opened it. For years, it remained a mystery, its contents — perhaps faded photographs, delicate jewelry — left to my imagination. Though curiosity burned, I never tried to open it, assuming that it was meant to be unlocked at the right time. As I grew older, life pulled me away. Schoolwork, friendships, and the uncertainty of the future consumed me. By my final year of high school, the box lay buried beneath old blankets and boxes, forgotten. That year was a storm of emotions. My parents often spoke about my future, their voices filled with both hope and expectation. My mother especially wanted me to stay close to home. She spoke of family, of security, of the importance of being near the people who loved me. But I dreamed of something different. I longed for new places, new experiences, a world beyond the familiar streets I had known all my life. The tension built slowly, each conversation turning into a debate, each disagreement growing sharper. She didn’t understand why I wanted to leave, and I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t support me. The arguments grew more frequent, words spoken in frustration hanging in the air long after they were said. One evening, after another quarrel, I fled to the attic. My hands trembling, I wiped away tears, my gaze landing on the box. Without thinking, I opened it. Inside, letters were neatly piled up. Dozens of them lay before me, some yellowed with time, others more recent, all written in my grandmother’s familiar handwriting. My breath caught in my throat as I picked up the one on top. 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。 The letter described the day my mother left for university. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After reading the letter, I began to understand my mother. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The letter described the day my mother left for university. My grandmother wrote about how my mother packed her bags with excitement and a hint of fear, ready to explore the world beyond our small town. She talked about the tears in my mother’s eyes as she said goodbye, tears of both joy and sadness. My grandmother’s words painted a vivid picture of a young woman full of dreams, just like me. She also expressed her mixed feelings of pride and loss, just as my mother was now feeling about me. After reading the letter, I began to understand my mother. I realized that she wasn’t trying to hold me back; she was simply worried about me, just as her own mother had been worried about her. I saw the parallel between our situations and felt a wave of guilt for not understanding her earlier. I decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. When I showed her the letter and shared my thoughts, she cried and hugged me tightly. From then on, we began to communicate better, respecting each other’s dreams while also considering family bonds. The old box, which once held so many mysteries, became the key to mending our relationship. 【解析】 【导语】文章以作者童年家中阁楼上的一个旧木箱为线索展开叙述，讲述了童年时作者就对这个神秘的旧木箱充满好奇，祖母虽称其特殊却从不打开，作者也一直未动它。随着作者长大，到了高中最后一年，因未来规划与母亲产生了诸多矛盾，母亲希望作者留在家附近，而作者渴望去新地方、体验新事物，二人争吵不断。在一次争吵后，作者逃到阁楼，在情绪激动下打开了一直未动的旧木箱，发现里面整齐地堆着许多信件，都是祖母的笔迹。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“这封信描述了我母亲去上大学的那一天。”可知，第一段可描写祖母信中的具体内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“读完这封信后，我开始理解我的母亲了。”可知，作者的感悟以及与母亲进行深入交流后，关系修复了。 2.续写线索：信的具体内容——感悟——与母亲深入交流——关系修复 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be full of/be filled with ②表达：express/convey ③意识到：realize/be aware of ④决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1]My grandmother wrote about how my mother packed her bags with excitement and a hint of fear, ready to explore the world beyond our small town.（运用了how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2]The old box, which once held so many mysteries, became the key to mending our relationship.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 定远育才学校2026年高三高考第三次模拟 英语试卷 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement. Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic. Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause crashes with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road. Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users. 1. What can be inferred about students’ views from paragraph 2? A. Biking safety must be ensured. B. Steps count in reducing infrastructure costs. C. Safety training outweighs facility upgrades. D. Stop signs effectively slow down traffic flow. 2. Why does the author mention Armand Dunkines’ accident? A. To call on motorists to follow the rules. B. To complain about the lack of bike lanes. C. To show the benefits of law enforcement. D. To criticize the poor design of infrastructure. 3. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Chicago’s New Traffic Rules for Cyclistsv . B. Teens’ Appeals for Safer Chicago Streets. C. The History of Chicago Cycling Programs. D. Chicago’s Shift toward Fewer Car Accidents. B Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His ‌“Extraordinary Voyages” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100 modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings. In the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the ‌“phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent. ‌“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist with tears.” Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the ‌“hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond. Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine to violently attack ships. For Verne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction. The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne. 4. How did the author illustrate Verne’s writing style? A. By listing figures. B. By quoting a saying. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving an example. 5. What is special about Verne’s writing compared with other writers? A. He preferred supernatural and imaginary ideas. B. He paid more attention to character development. C. He rooted his future visions in science and research. D. He wrote more thrilling stories about mad scientists. 6. What is Verne’s opinion on technology? A. Technology itself decides whether it is good or bad. B. Human nature plays a key role in technology’s use. C. Technology will certainly bring harm to human beings. D. Scientific progress is always the top goal of humans. 7. Which of the following can best describe Jules Verne? A. Creative and realistic. B. Humorous and cautious. C. Stubborn and optimistic. D. Traditional and productive. C “When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to short video platforms and how that will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living. There must be scary times,” an influential content creator, Jimmy Donaldson, said. Donaldson’s concerns follow the release of a social media platform able to produce short-form AI videos, including videos of individuals who “upload” themselves onto the app. Other content creators have also spoken out about the consequences of platforms where every video is from AI. Still, Donaldson hasn’t shied away from having a go at the technology. In July, Donaldson made an online tool producing AI-made thumbnails (缩略图) for the public, but removed the feature about a week later after heavy criticism (批评) from other creators. He said he would replace the tool with links to human artists accepting commissions (委托创作). “I care more than any of you could ever imagine about the community,” he said in a video. “It makes me deeply sad when I do something that people in the community are angry at.” Online content creators are torn between using AI-generated video content and keeping away from AI creation. While more than 80% of content creators said they used AI tools for their content, including generating images and videos, one-third said they had concerns about the quality of the AI-generated content, and 45% said the technology would make it harder for human creators to stand out, according to a survey of 620 influencers. Not everyone sees AI as a bad thing for content creators. Amjad Hanif, a head of creator payments and products, said that the technology could help balance the playing field among creators who may not have the same resources as Donaldson. “A lot of the effects — the visual quality, the visual imagery — are tricky (难办的). Up until now it’s taken an expert team to be able to produce them,” Hanif said. “AI is going to make that available to a much broader group of creators.” 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. AI downloads information of users. B. AI boosts the spread of short videos. C. AI will bring challenges to creators. D. AI has replaced human creators online. 9. Why was Donaldson criticized? A. He created an AI tool. B. He promoted AI videos. C. He shared his videos. D. He disrespected human artists. 10. Why does the author mention the survey in paragraph 3? A. To support Donaldson’s concern. B. To show public support for AI. C. To stress the negative impact of AI. D. To show creators’ mixed feelings. 11. What is the advantage of AI according to Amjad Hanif? A. It helps create equal opportunity. B. It helps creators attract more viewers. C. It increases the payments for creators. D. It improves the special visual effects. D A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions. Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder. 12. What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A. They need much higher maintenance fees. B. Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C. Their power output might be affected by the cold. D. They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 13. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A. They move much faster than lithium ones. B. They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C. Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D. They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 14.

This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____. Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____. For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. It is believed that humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. B. Overuse harms professionalism. C. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. D. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. E. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. F. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. G. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When we are young, we often think getting older means losing the fun in life.

Its surface was worn smooth with age, and the metal lock showed signs of rust (铁锈). Drawn to it as a child, I would run my fingers over it, wondering what secrets it might hold. My grandmother always told me it was special, but she never opened it. For years, it remained a mystery, its contents — perhaps faded photographs, delicate jewelry — left to my imagination. Though curiosity burned, I never tried to open it, assuming that it was meant to be unlocked at the right time. As I grew older, life pulled me away. Schoolwork, friendships, and the uncertainty of the future consumed me. By my final year of high school, the box lay buried beneath old blankets and boxes, forgotten. That year was a storm of emotions. My parents often spoke about my future, their voices filled with both hope and expectation. My mother especially wanted me to stay close to home. She spoke of family, of security, of the importance of being near the people who loved me. But I dreamed of something different. I longed for new places, new experiences, a world beyond the familiar streets I had known all my life. The tension built slowly, each conversation turning into a debate, each disagreement growing sharper. She didn’t understand why I wanted to leave, and I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t support me. The arguments grew more frequent, words spoken in frustration hanging in the air long after they were said. One evening, after another quarrel, I fled to the attic. My hands trembling, I wiped away tears, my gaze landing on the box. Without thinking, I opened it. Inside, letters were neatly piled up. Dozens of them lay before me, some yellowed with time, others more recent, all written in my grandmother’s familiar handwriting. My breath caught in my throat as I picked up the one on top. 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。 The letter described the day my mother left for university. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After reading the letter, I began to understand my mother. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
