B Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper. As a newspaperman, I’m not ready to discourage readership of each day’s edition, but maybe there’s something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning. All of that has led to a small experiment. In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed, I decided to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy decision to keep. Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country. Each day’s edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries, along with a short poem that Keillor recites. Fans can also have the text of each program emailed to them every day, along with a link to the broadcast recording. The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature, called “Poem-a-Day”. Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006, Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously published poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends. Since subscribing to both services last April, I’ve enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin, giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days. Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it. 24. What did the editor think of poetry? A. It could improve our daily life. B. It was as important as newspapers. C. It had a small but faithful readership. D. It should be composed in the morning. 25. How did the author conduct his experiment? A. By listening to radios and writing emails. B. By contributing poems to a newspaper. C. By creating resolutions over breakfast. D. By making use of online services. 26. What can be learned about The Writer’s Almanac? A. It is available nationwide on radio stations. B. It mails paper poems to its fans daily. C. It provides recordings of classic poems only. D. It focuses on introducing new poets daily. 27. What does the last paragraph reveal about the author? A. It has taken years for him to love literature. B. He is wondering how to continue his conduct. C. He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D. It has benefited him a lot as a newspaperman. C Next time you find yourself feeling sleepy from the pitter-patter of rain outside your window, think how that same rain might sound if you were a tiny seed planted below a free-falling droplet. Would you still be sleepy? In fact, MIT engineers have found the opposite to be the case: Some seeds may come alive to the sound of rain. Nicholas Makris, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his team conducted experiments with rice seeds, which naturally grow in shallow water. They submerged (浸没) roughly 8,000 rice seeds in shallow water basins at a depth of about 2.5 to 3.0 centimeters and exposed them to the sound of falling water droplets impacting the surface above. The seeds were placed away from the impact zone so that only the sound would reach them. The team varied the droplet size and height to mimic different rains. The results were striking. Seeds exposed to the sound of water were able to germinate (发芽) 24 to 37 percent faster than those in identical but quiet conditions. In addition, seeds located closer to the drop impact point sensed the sound better and grew faster. So how do seeds “hear” raindrops? The researchers explain that when a raindrop hits the surface of a puddle or the ground, it generates a sound wave that makes the surroundings vibrate (振动), including any shallowly submerged seeds. These vibrations are intense enough to dislodge (使移位) a seed’s “statoliths” — tiny gravity-sensing organelles within certain cells of a seed. Their repeated displacement is a signal for seeds and seedlings to grow and sprout. Scientists believe that this mechanism offers an advantage: If seeds are close enough to the surface to respond to the sound of rain, they are likely at the perfect depth to take in water and safely grow to the surface. “What this study is saying is that seeds can sense sound in ways that can help them survive,” says Makris. “The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.” 28. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To explain the selection of subjects. B. To highlight a specific research tool. C. To present the experimental method. D. To provide the study’s scientific basis. 29. How do raindrop sounds make seeds grow? A. By generating a special kind of signal. B. By shaking some of their internal structures. C. By replacing their gravity-sensing organelles. D. By directly transforming vibrations into energy. 30. What advantage do rain-sensing seeds likely have? A. Fast root growth. B. Ideal growth position. C. Efficient water storage. D. Excellent hearing ability. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Secret Senses: How Plants Feel the World B. Statoliths: The “Brain” Inside a Rice Seed C. Beyond Sound: How Water Affects Seed Growth D. A Wake-Up Call: Rain Sounds Drive Seed Growth D A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future. In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems. A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives. However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data). Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future. 32. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text? A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries. C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions. 33. Why are many people optimistic about AI? A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs. C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans. 34. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean? A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users. C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future? A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses. C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress. 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。 In life, we make many decisions that define who we truly are.

You don’t have to join in many extracurricular activities or get perfect test scores. What matters is that you work hard, believe in yourself, and let your true self shine. I was once a girl who doubted whether I could ever get into Harvard University, but with hard work and a little faith, I made it. And so can you. In high school, such a belief felt out of reach to me. Those days were full of self-doubt. I would spend hours watching videos of students online talking about their perfect extracurricular activities — ten clubs, volunteer work abroad, internships at big companies — and compare myself to them. I only had a few after-school activities: attending the book club, tutoring younger students in math, and playing on the girls’ soccer team. My test scores were good, but not perfect. Every time I saw those “perfect” numbers online, I felt like I was falling behind, and I even thought about giving up my dream of going to a top university. Everything changed the day my teacher, Cathy, pulled me aside. She noticed I was feeling down and asked me what was troubling me. I told her about my doubts, the numbers and activities that made me feel inadequate (缺乏信心的). She smiled and handed me a brochure about Harvard’s admissions process. “Ana,” she said gently, “colleges like Harvard don’t just look at numbers. They look at the whole person — your struggles, your efforts, your growth, and the opportunities you’ve had. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be yourself.” Those words hit me like a ray of light. For the first time, I realized that my background, my hard work, and my unique story were not weaknesses — they were part of who I was, and they mattered. 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。 From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年5月高二英语月考试卷 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the woman trying to do?

M: I grew up close to the border with Russia in a small Finnish town. My father was a fisherman whose family went back generations. My mother was an American who met my father on a family holiday and settled in the area. As a young boy, I would join my father on many adventures in the wild woodlands of Finland. W: It must be colder there than it is here in England. M: Oh, yes. We would often camp out for days in freezing conditions, but it was always great fun. My father would cook our meals around a fire and make me coffee. Although the taste wasn’t great, it made me feel really grown up. W: So, where do the wolves fit in? M: On one particular morning, my father had gone to collect firewood and a pack of wolves entered the camp. Instead of being scared, I offered them some fish. The wolves were hungry and ate it happily. And that was that... or so I thought. The next day they came back, and the day after that. In the following weeks, every time we went camping, the wolves would find us. I would feed them and eventually we became good friends! 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

It’s lovely to have so many visitors from China. Today, I’m thrilled to share insights into a very special aspect of Western European culture and history: the tradition of building castles. These structures, spread across the landscapes of our countries, offer a view into our rich history and the way of life hundreds of years ago. These castles, dating mainly from the 9th to the 15th centuries, were not only military buildings but also centers of political and social life. Built in carefully chosen positions, they served as symbols of power and wealth. Now, let’s look at the key features of these magnificent structures. Castles were often situated on top of hills, providing a strategic advantage in defense. The outer walls, bridges, and water around them were designed to scare off enemies. Within the walls, you’d find a central tower, which is the ruler’s residence, and other various buildings like soldiers’ accommodation. Life within a castle was a complex mixture of politics, warfare, and everyday activities. As you explore these architectural wonders, you’ll witness the complex work and clever design that went into their construction. It displays the hard work and intelligence of the period and the rich history of Western European culture. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A We are pleased to announce that entries for Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon (TTOM) are now open!

C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了Totalsports 两洋马拉松（TTOM）的历史、愿景及赛事信息，突出其沿着查普曼峰海岸公路的优美路线，强调赛事对南非体育精神与经济的影响。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It is best known for its breathtaking 56 km ultra-marathon route, which guides runners along Chapman’s Peak, one of the world’s most spectacular coastal drives.( 它最为人所知的是其令人惊叹的56 公里超长马拉松路线，这条路线引领着参赛者沿着查普曼山峰前行，这是世界上最壮观的海岸线自驾游路线之一。)”可知，TTOM 最出名的是其令人惊叹的56 公里超级马拉松路线，这条路线沿着世界上最壮观的海岸公路之一查普曼峰延伸。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。据表格中半程马拉松（Half Marathon）的费用信息：“Licensed SA Athletes(持证南非选手)”的报名费为 R450.00。中国选手属于“International Athletes(国际选手)”，其对应的报名费为 R2160.00。因此，两人报名半程马拉松的总费用为两者之和，即 R450 + R2160 = R2610。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文以及文章开篇第一句就点明核心目的：“We are pleased to announce that entries for Totalsports Two Oceans Marathon (TTOM) are now open!( 我们很高兴地宣布，Totalsports 两大洋马拉松（TTOM）的参赛报名现已开启！)”随后依次介绍了赛事的历史亮点、具体赛事信息（日期、关门时间、费用）、报名福利，并引导读者前往官网了解详情。全文围绕“号召报名”展开，同时提供了报名所需的所有关键信息。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是邀请参赛者报名并提供关键信息。 B Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper. As a newspaperman, I’m not ready to discourage readership of each day’s edition, but maybe there’s something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning. All of that has led to a small experiment. In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed, I decided to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy decision to keep. Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country. Each day’s edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries, along with a short poem that Keillor recites. Fans can also have the text of each program emailed to them every day, along with a link to the broadcast recording. The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature, called “Poem-a-Day”. Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006, Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously published poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends. Since subscribing to both services last April, I’ve enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin, giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days. Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it. 24. What did the editor think of poetry? A. It could improve our daily life. B. It was as important as newspapers. C. It had a small but faithful readership. D. It should be composed in the morning. 25. How did the author conduct his experiment? A. By listening to radios and writing emails. B. By contributing poems to a newspaper. C. By creating resolutions over breakfast. D. By making use of online services. 26. What can be learned about The Writer’s Almanac? A. It is available nationwide on radio stations. B. It mails paper poems to its fans daily. C. It provides recordings of classic poems only. D. It focuses on introducing new poets daily. 27. What does the last paragraph reveal about the author? A. It has taken years for him to love literature. B. He is wondering how to continue his conduct. C. He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D. It has benefited him a lot as a newspaperman. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【原文】文章主要讲述了作者受一位编辑的启发，开启每日读诗的小实验，并介绍了两个可以每日推送诗歌的线上服务，分享了自己坚持每日读诗后的收获与感悟。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper.(去年四月，我为配合全国诗歌月活动发表了一篇关于诗歌的随笔后，一位编辑对我说，他常常觉得，如果每天清晨送到家门口的不是报纸，而是一首诗，这个世界会变得更加美好。)”可知，这位编辑认为诗歌能够改善我们的日常生活。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy decision to keep.(多亏了两项直接将诗歌推送到我电子邮箱的数字服务，这个习惯才得以轻松坚持。)”可知，作者是借助线上数字服务来开展每日读诗的实验。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country.(许多公共广播听众都熟悉《作家年鉴》这档节目，它是由加里森·凯勒主持的五分钟广播节目，在全国多家电台播出。)”可知，该节目在全国范围内的电台均可收听。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin, giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days.(每天至少读一首诗就像一种智力维生素，即使在忙碌的日子里，也能让我短暂领略文学的魅力。)”以及“Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it.(如今盛夏已至，我都不知道自己还能否离得开它。)”可知，作者已经深深爱上读诗，对诗歌产生了浓厚的喜爱之情。 C Next time you find yourself feeling sleepy from the pitter-patter of rain outside your window, think how that same rain might sound if you were a tiny seed planted below a free-falling droplet. Would you still be sleepy? In fact, MIT engineers have found the opposite to be the case: Some seeds may come alive to the sound of rain. Nicholas Makris, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his team conducted experiments with rice seeds, which naturally grow in shallow water. They submerged (浸没) roughly 8,000 rice seeds in shallow water basins at a depth of about 2.5 to 3.0 centimeters and exposed them to the sound of falling water droplets impacting the surface above. The seeds were placed away from the impact zone so that only the sound would reach them. The team varied the droplet size and height to mimic different rains. The results were striking. Seeds exposed to the sound of water were able to germinate (发芽) 24 to 37 percent faster than those in identical but quiet conditions. In addition, seeds located closer to the drop impact point sensed the sound better and grew faster. So how do seeds “hear” raindrops? The researchers explain that when a raindrop hits the surface of a puddle or the ground, it generates a sound wave that makes the surroundings vibrate (振动), including any shallowly submerged seeds. These vibrations are intense enough to dislodge (使移位) a seed’s “statoliths” — tiny gravity-sensing organelles within certain cells of a seed. Their repeated displacement is a signal for seeds and seedlings to grow and sprout. Scientists believe that this mechanism offers an advantage: If seeds are close enough to the surface to respond to the sound of rain, they are likely at the perfect depth to take in water and safely grow to the surface. “What this study is saying is that seeds can sense sound in ways that can help them survive,” says Makris. “The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.” 28. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To explain the selection of subjects. B. To highlight a specific research tool. C. To present the experimental method. D. To provide the study’s scientific basis. 29. How do raindrop sounds make seeds grow? A. By generating a special kind of signal. B. By shaking some of their internal structures. C. By replacing their gravity-sensing organelles. D. By directly transforming vibrations into energy. 30. What advantage do rain-sensing seeds likely have? A. Fast root growth. B. Ideal growth position. C. Efficient water storage. D. Excellent hearing ability. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Secret Senses: How Plants Feel the World B. Statoliths: The “Brain” Inside a Rice Seed C. Beyond Sound: How Water Affects Seed Growth D. A Wake-Up Call: Rain Sounds Drive Seed Growth 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是麻省理工学院工程师的一项研究发现——雨滴的声音能够刺激某些种子加速发芽生长。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Nicholas Makris, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his team conducted experiments with rice seeds, which naturally grow in shallow water. They submerged roughly 8,000 rice seeds in shallow water basins at a depth of about 2.5 to 3.0 centimeters and exposed them to the sound of falling water droplets impacting the surface above. The seeds were placed away from the impact zone so that only the sound would reach them. The team varied the droplet size and height to mimic different rains. (麻省理工学院机械工程教授尼古拉斯·马克里斯及其团队对水稻种子进行了实验，水稻种子自然生长在浅水中。他们将大约8000粒水稻种子浸没在深度约2.5至3.0厘米的浅水盆中，并让它们暴露在落水滴撞击水面的声音中。种子被放置在远离撞击点的位置，以便只有声音能够传到它们那里。研究团队改变了水滴的大小和高度来模拟不同的降雨。)”可知，第二段主要描述了实验的对象、具体操作步骤和变量控制方法，即呈现实验方法。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“These vibrations are intense enough to dislodge a seed’s ‘statoliths’ — tiny gravity-sensing organelles within certain cells of a seed. (这些振动强度足以使种子的“平衡石”移位——平衡石是种子某些细胞内的微小重力感应细胞器。)”可知，雨滴声音产生的振动会使种子内部的平衡石发生移位，从而触发种子生长。因此，雨滴声音是通过震动种子内部的一些结构来促进种子生长的。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If seeds are close enough to the surface to respond to the sound of rain, they are likely at the perfect depth to take in water and safely grow to the surface. (如果种子距离地表足够近，能够对雨声做出反应，那么它们很可能处于能够吸收水分并安全生长到地表的完美深度。)”可知，能够对雨声做出反应的种子很可能处于理想的生长位置（既能吸收水分，又能安全生长到地表）。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some seeds may come alive to the sound of rain. (一些种子可能会因雨声而苏醒。)”以及最后一段“‘What this study is saying is that seeds can sense sound in ways that can help them survive,’ says Makris. ‘The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.’ (‘这项研究表明，种子能够以有助于它们生存的方式感知声音，’马克里斯说，‘雨声的能量足以加速种子的生长。’)”可知，全文围绕“雨声能够唤醒并驱动种子加速生长”这一核心发现展开，D项A Wake-Up Call: Rain Sounds Drive Seed Growth (唤醒信号：雨声驱动种子生长) 最能概括文章主旨。 D A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future. In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems. A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives. However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data). Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future. 32. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text? A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries. C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions. 33. Why are many people optimistic about AI? A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs. C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans. 34. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean? A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users. C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future? A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses. C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了中国“AI+”计划的目标、公众对AI的态度、AI带来的问题及发展前景。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems.(上个月，国务院发布了“AI+”倡议计划。该计划旨在在10年内分三个阶段将人工智能引入所有行业，构建新的智能经济和社会体系)”可知，中国“AI+”倡议的主要目标是将人工智能与所有行业相结合。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did.(这种乐观源于人们相信人工智能会像移动互联网一样改变生活)”可知，很多人对人工智能持乐观态度是因为他们认为人工智能会改变生活。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data).(目前的其他问题包括“黑箱”（当人工智能从数据中学习时给出不可预测的结果）和“model hallucinations”（当人工智能基于未经测试的数据给出错误答案时）)”可知，“model hallucinations”指的是人工智能因未经证实的数据而犯的错误。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future.(尽管有些人担心，但这不会阻止人工智能向前发展。作为全球竞争的重要领域，人工智能的发展是确定的。“AI+”计划还注重安全，并包括防止滥用的规则。像过去的其他重大新技术一样，人工智能需要时间来改进。专家表示，今天的问题将有助于该行业更加谨慎，并在未来取得重要突破)”可知，作者对人工智能的未来持谨慎乐观的态度，平衡了风险和进步。 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。 In life, we make many decisions that define who we truly are.

You don’t have to join in many extracurricular activities or get perfect test scores. What matters is that you work hard, believe in yourself, and let your true self shine. I was once a girl who doubted whether I could ever get into Harvard University, but with hard work and a little faith, I made it. And so can you. In high school, such a belief felt out of reach to me. Those days were full of self-doubt. I would spend hours watching videos of students online talking about their perfect extracurricular activities — ten clubs, volunteer work abroad, internships at big companies — and compare myself to them. I only had a few after-school activities: attending the book club, tutoring younger students in math, and playing on the girls’ soccer team. My test scores were good, but not perfect. Every time I saw those “perfect” numbers online, I felt like I was falling behind, and I even thought about giving up my dream of going to a top university. Everything changed the day my teacher, Cathy, pulled me aside. She noticed I was feeling down and asked me what was troubling me. I told her about my doubts, the numbers and activities that made me feel inadequate (缺乏信心的). She smiled and handed me a brochure about Harvard’s admissions process. “Ana,” she said gently, “colleges like Harvard don’t just look at numbers. They look at the whole person — your struggles, your efforts, your growth, and the opportunities you’ve had. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be yourself.” Those words hit me like a ray of light. For the first time, I realized that my background, my hard work, and my unique story were not weaknesses — they were part of who I was, and they mattered. 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。 From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best. I threw myself into the activities I loved: leading book club discussions, spending more time tutoring students who needed help, and even organizing a small fundraiser for a local children’s shelter with my soccer team. It wasn’t always easy — there were nights when I stayed up late studying for exams, weekends I spent volunteering instead of hanging out with friends, and moments when I still felt like giving up. But whenever I felt discouraged, I thought of Cathy’s words. When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard. My hands trembled as I clicked “submit” on my application. I told myself that even if I didn’t get in, I was proud of how hard I had worked. Weeks later, when I received the acceptance letter in the mail, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What made it even more amazing was that Harvard offered me a full scholarship through their need-based financial aid programs — all because of the hard work I had put in during high school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了怀揣哈佛梦的高中生Ana在老师开导下摆脱自我怀疑与攀比焦虑，坚持做自己，努力追梦终圆梦，告诉高中生不必追求完美，要展现真实自我的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者所参与的一些活动和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写申请大学时的心理活动和得知结果后的感受。 2.续写线索：专注追梦——参加活动——最终圆梦——内心感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①投入：throw oneself into/plunge into/be devoted to ②熬夜：stay up/sit up 情绪类 ①气馁的：discouraged/disheartened/dispirited ②令人惊讶的：amazing/astonishing/surprising 【点睛】【高分句型1】I threw myself into the activities I loved: leading book club discussions, spending more time tutoring students who needed help, and even organizing a small fundraiser for a local children’s shelter with my soccer team.(运用了省略关系词的定语从句和who引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】What made it even more amazing was that Harvard offered me a full scholarship through their need-based financial aid programs — all because of the hard work I had put in during high school.(运用了What引导的主语从句、that引导的表语从句、省略关系词的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Do you think playing chess can be considered as bolt?

It's lovely to have so many visitors from china today. I'm drilled to share insights into a very specific aspect of western european culture and history. The tradition of building castles. These structures spread across the landscapes of our countries, offer a view into our rich history and the way of life. Hundreds of years ago, these castles, dating mainly from the north to the fifteen th centuries, were not only military buildings, but also centers of political and social life built in carefully chosen positions. They served as symbols of power and wealth. Now lets look at the key features of these magnificent structures. Castles were often situated on top of hills, providing a strategic advantage in defense, the outer walls, ridges and water around them, or designed to scare off enemies. Within the walls you'd find a central tower, which is the rulers, residents and other various buildings like soldiers as accommodation. Life within a castle was a complex mixture of politics, warfare and everyday activities. As you explore these architectural wonders, you'll witness the complex work and clever design that went into their construction. IT displaces the hard work and intelligence of the period and the rich history of west european and culture. Greetings to you all. It's lovely to have so many visitors from china today.
