But the 24-year-old made an unexpected choice: she returned to her distant and hard-to-reach village in the Qinling Mountains to launch an organic farming project. Lin’s village sits on the hillside, with terraces (梯田) that had been abandoned for years. Local villagers used to grow corn with chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药), but the income was low, and the soil had been badly degraded. When Lin said she wanted to grow organic kiwifruit without any chemicals, nearly all villagers doubted her. “They said I was wasting my college degree, and that the ‘fancy ideas’ would never work in the mountains,” Lin recalled. With no initial support, Lin rented 20 acres of abandoned terraces, learned organic planting skills from her former university tutors, and worked in the fields every day. She used fallen leaves to make natural fertilizer, and built small water-saving irrigation systems to protect local water resources. Two years later, her kiwifruit trees bore fruit, and the products sold well online at twice the price of ordinary kiwifruit. Seeing Lin’s success, villagers began to follow her. She taught them organic planting skills for free, helped them set up online shops, and even built a small study center for local teenagers to learn about ecological protection. By late 2025, over 40 families in the village had joined her project, and the village’s per capita income had doubled. “Rural vitalization (振兴) isn’t just about new roads or buildings. It’s about giving young people a reason to come home, to make our mountains greener and our villagers richer at the same time,” Lin told Reuters. 4. Which of the following best describes Lin Qiao’s hometown in the past? A. Unfriendly and isolated. B. Crowded and polluted. C. Remote and underdeveloped. D. Mountainous and productive. 5. What challenge did Lin Qiao face at first? A. Shortage of sales channels. B. Lack of a college degree. C. Limited natural resources. D. Disbelief from local villagers. 6. What made Lin Qiao’s kiwifruit popular online? A. Its chemical-free organic quality. B. Villagers’ great help with sales. C. The university’s advertising help. D. Its lower price than ordinary kiwifruit. 7. What does Lin Qiao’s story show? A. College graduates should be devoted to scientific research. B. Young people can play a key role in rural development. C. Organic farming should be popularized in rural areas. D. Online sales are more profitable than offline sales. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了大学生林乔毕业后放弃城市高薪工作，回到偏远山村发展有机农业，带动当地村民致富的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“she returned to her distant and hard-to-reach village (她回到了她偏远且难以到达的村庄)”以及第二段中“Lin’s village sits on the hillside, with terraces (梯田) that had been abandoned for years. Local villagers used to grow corn with chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药), but the income was low, and the soil had been badly degraded. (林的村庄坐落在山坡上，梯田已经荒废多年。当地村民过去用化肥和农药种植玉米，但收入低，土壤严重退化)”可知，林乔的家乡过去是偏远且不发达的。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When Lin said she wanted to grow organic kiwifruit without any chemicals, nearly all villagers doubted her. “They said I was wasting my college degree, and that the ‘fancy ideas’ would never work in the mountains,” Lin recalled. (当林说她想要种植不使用任何化学物质的有机猕猴桃时，几乎所有的村民都怀疑她。林回忆道：“他们说我是在浪费大学文凭，那些‘花哨的想法’在山里永远行不通。”)”可知，林乔起初面临的挑战是当地村民的不信任。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When Lin said she wanted to grow organic kiwifruit without any chemicals, nearly all villagers doubted her.(当林说她想种植不含任何化学物质的有机猕猴桃时，几乎所有村民都怀疑她)”和第四段中“She used fallen leaves to make natural fertilizer, and built small water-saving irrigation systems to protect local water resources. Two years later, her kiwifruit trees bore fruit, and the products sold well online at twice the price of ordinary kiwifruit. (她用落叶做天然肥料，还建造了小型节水灌溉系统来保护当地的水资源。两年后，她的猕猴桃树结出了果实，产品在网上销售良好，价格是普通猕猴桃的两倍)”可知，林乔种植的是“有机猕猴桃”，所以她的猕猴桃受欢迎是因为其无化学物质的有机品质。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“But the 24-year-old made an unexpected choice: she returned to her distant and hard-to-reach village in the Qinling Mountains to launch an organic farming project. (但这位24岁的年轻人做出了一个意想不到的选择：她回到了秦岭山脉深处偏远且难以到达的村庄，启动了一个有机农业项目)”、第五段中“By late 2025, over 40 families in the village had joined her project, and the village’s per capita income had doubled. (到2025年底，村里有40多户家庭加入了她的项目，村民的人均收入翻了一番)”和最后一段中“Rural vitalization (振兴) isn’t just about new roads or buildings. It’s about giving young people a reason to come home, to make our mountains greener and our villagers richer at the same time (乡村振兴不仅仅是修路建房。它是给年轻人一个回家的理由，让我们的山更绿，同时让我们的村民更富裕)”可知，林乔作为一名大学毕业生，选择回到偏远山村发展有机农业，不仅自己取得成功，还带动了全村发展，这表明年轻人可以在农村发展中发挥关键作用。 C As countries work harder to move away from fossil fuels and fight climate change, finding reliable, clean and steady power is very important. In this search, geothermal (地热的) energy — using the great heat from inside the Earth — is seeing a strong comeback worldwide. Unlike solar or wind power, which can change with the weather, geothermal plants can produce electricity all the time, day and night. This provides the stable “baseload” power needed to support grids (电网) that use more and more changeable energy sources. This modern comeback is mainly driven by new technology. Advanced drilling methods, first used by the oil and gas industry, now let engineers reach deeper, hotter rocks that were once out of reach. New systems can create artificial underground reservoirs (热储层) in hot, dry rock, greatly increasing possible locations. A leading example is the United Downs project in Cornwall, UK. This plant not only makes enough electricity for about 10,000 homes but also shows an extra benefit: It can collect lithium (锂), a key mineral for batteries, from the hot water it uses. The demand for lithium has soared due to its important role in EV batteries and energy storage. As a byproduct of geothermal energy, lithium can be extracted by using Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology, which efficiently removes lithium from geothermal waters while reinjecting the water underground. This sustainable approach minimizes environmental impact and enhances lithium production. Challenges remain. The high starting cost for drilling is still a barrier, and there is always a risk of not finding enough heat. Also, not every area has the right underground conditions. However, continuous improvement is lowering costs and raising efficiency. As the world looks for solutions for both clean energy and important minerals, geothermal energy’s double offering makes it not just an alternative, but a key part of a sustainable and secure energy future. 8. How does geothermal energy differ from solar and wind power? A. It produces more green energy. B. It requires more land to operate. C. It can change with the weather. D. It can supply power continuously. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The reasons for the rise of geothermal energy. B. The environmental effects of geothermal energy. C. The popularization of geothermal energy. D. The history of geothermal energy research. 10. What does the underlined word “soared” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Declined. B. Increased. C. Changed. D. Appeared. 11. What does the author think of the future of geothermal energy? A. Costly. B. Uncertain. C. Promising. D. Risky. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍地热能源的优势、复兴原因、附加价值以及现存挑战，阐明其未来发展前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unlike solar or wind power, which can change with the weather, geothermal plants can produce electricity all the time, day and night.(太阳能和风能会随天气变化，与之不同，地热发电厂可以日夜持续发电)”可知，地热能源与太阳能、风能的不同之处在于可以持续供电。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“This modern comeback is mainly driven by new technology.(这次地热能源的现代复兴主要是由新技术推动的)”以及后文介绍的先进钻探技术、新型系统及项目优势可知，第二段主要讲述地热能源再度兴起的原因。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“due to its important role in EV batteries and energy storage.(由于锂在电动汽车电池和储能方面的重要作用)”可知，锂在电动汽车电池和储能方面的重要作用导致锂的市场需求量大幅增长，soared表示“增长、激增”，与Increased同义。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, continuous improvement is lowering costs and raising efficiency. As the world looks for solutions for both clean energy and important minerals, geothermal energy’s double offering makes it not just an alternative, but a key part of a sustainable and secure energy future.(然而，持续的技术改进正在降低成本、提升效率。在全球寻求清洁能源和重要矿产解决方案的当下，地热能源的双重优势使其不仅是替代能源，更是未来可持续、安全能源体系的关键部分)”可知，作者看好地热能源的未来，认为其前景广阔。 D In economics, there is a well-known idea called “signaling.” It explains why people often take seemingly unnecessary or expensive actions just to send a clear message. A common example is a university degree. Some economists believe that a degree does not directly prove that you have job-related skills. Instead, the difficult process of getting it — going to classes, finishing homework, and passing exams — shows employers that you are disciplined, intelligent, and able to stick to long-term goals. However, in the digital age, signaling is facing a trouble defined as “cheap talk.” In the past, sending a reliable signal required real effort. Writing a letter by hand took time and care, and publishing a book needed strict review and professional support. These costs worked as filters (过滤器), making sure only valuable messages reached others. Today, things have changed greatly. Anyone can create a perfect life on social media or produce a good essay with AI in seconds. When signals are cheap and easy to make, they gradually lose their ability to tell real ability from false appearance. This drop in costly signals creates a widespread problem: “noise.” When everyone sends perfect, artificial messages at the same time, the result is chaos, and no one stands out. Employers receive thousands of similar, well-designed resumes. Consumers are flooded with overly positive five-star reviews that may be fake or produced by tools. In this situation, the future of trust is surprising: we may start valuing “costly” signals again. We may prefer experiences and efforts that are hard to copy: live shows instead of recorded ones, face-to-face interviews instead of online portfolios (作品), and natural talks instead of prepared speeches. In a world of artificial perfection, real, unpolished and difficult-to-copy human effort may become the new valuable quality. 12. What does a university degree signal to employers according to some economists? A. Important personal qualities. B. Relevant work experience. C. Job-specific technical skills. D. High academic performance. 13. Why does the author mention “cheap talk” in paragraph 2? A. To stress AI’s influence on modern industries. B. To advise people to reduce using social media. C. To prove cheap signals unable to show true ability. D. To encourage people to write more handwritten letters. 14. Which of the following may be valued in the future to build trust? A. Copying a ready-made product review. B. Over-polishing photos on social media. C. Creating resumes with AI in seconds. D. Making an unprepared speech. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The history of economic signaling. B. The changing situation of signaling. C. The use of digital tools on signaling. D. The practical value of academic signaling. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章围绕经济学的信号传递概念展开，先介绍其原本含义与作用，接着阐述数字时代低成本伪造信号泛滥，导致信号失去辨别真伪的作用、产生信息乱象，最后指出未来人们会重新重视难以复刻、付出真实成本的信号。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead, the difficult process of getting it — going to classes, finishing homework, and passing exams — shows employers that you are disciplined, intelligent, and able to stick to long-term goals.(相反，求学考证的艰辛过程——上课学习、完成作业、参加考试，能向用人单位体现你自律聪慧，且具备坚守长期目标的能力。)”可知，一些经济学家认为大学文凭向雇主传递了重要的个人素养。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When signals are cheap and easy to make, they gradually lose their ability to tell real ability from false appearance.(当信号变得低成本、易伪造，便渐渐无法分辨真实能力与虚假表象。)”可知，作者第二段提及“空谈信号”的原因是用以说明低成本信号失去辨别真伪的作用。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We may prefer experiences and efforts that are hard to copy: live shows instead of recorded ones, face-to-face interviews instead of online portfolios (作品), and natural talks instead of prepared speeches.(我们会更青睐难以复刻的经历与付出：偏爱现场演出而非录播节目，看重线下面试而非线上作品，欣赏即兴交谈而非备好底稿的演讲。)”可知，未来会被视作建立信任的依据。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕经济学的信号传递概念展开，先介绍其原本含义与作用，接着阐述数字时代低成本伪造信号泛滥，导致信号失去辨别真伪的作用、产生信息乱象，最后指出未来人们会重新重视难以复刻、付出真实成本的信号。由此可知，文章主要讲述了信号传递的处境变化，从传统有效信号到如今乱象，再到未来趋势。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 Can just ten minutes of journaling really make a difference? The answer is yes. ____16____ When you spend just ten minutes journaling, you give your mind a place to unload everything that has been circling in your head. Instead of letting worries take over, you put them on paper where you can see them. It’s like clearing a messy desk. Once the mess is gone, your mind feels quieter and your focus returns. ____17____ Many people describe feeling lighter and calmer after they write. That sense of control is especially important when life feels busy or unpredictable. Journaling unlocks creativity by capturing ideas, overcoming blocks, and connecting different thoughts. Practical creative journaling techniques include morning pages (stream of consciousness), idea capture (always carry a notebook), mind mapping and so on. Regular use of these methods builds your creativity. ____18____ Sleep is another area where journaling can work wonders. Have you ever noticed that your mind becomes most active when the lights go out? That is your brain holding on to unfinished thoughts. ____19____ Your mind no longer has to guard them. Studies show that people who journal at night fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper rest. ____20____ When you look back at old pages, you see worries that once felt too heavy to handle now seem small. You notice your progress. You see growth. And that reminder — that you are changing, step by step — is one of the strongest sources of motivation you can have. A. After all, creativity is a practice, not just a gift. B. Journaling can also become a record of your journey. C. This easy daily practice can bring many surprising benefits. D. But when you write them down before bed, you release them. E. Having regular conversations with your friends helps you feel relaxed. F. This simple “mental clean-up” is one of the fastest ways to reduce stress. G. Over time, these small adjustments help you feel more emotionally balanced. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了每天仅十分钟的日记带来的积极影响。 【16题详解】 上文“Can just ten minutes of journaling really make a difference? The answer is yes.(短短十分钟写日记真的能带来改变吗？答案是肯定的。)”提出简短日记能带来改变，下文分段罗列写日记的各类好处，C项“这项简单的日常习惯能带来诸多意想不到的益处。”引出下文各项益处。 【17题详解】 上文“Once the mess is gone, your mind feels quieter and your focus returns. (一旦杂乱清除，你的大脑会感觉更平静，注意力也会恢复。)”将写日记比作清理杂乱桌面，能让大脑更清净，空处应总结这种“大脑清理”的作用。F项“这种简单的“大脑清理”是缓解压力最快的方法之一。”符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Journaling unlocks creativity by capturing ideas, overcoming blocks, and connecting different thoughts. Practical creative journaling techniques include morning pages (stream of consciousness), idea capture (always carry a notebook), mind mapping and so on. Regular use of these methods builds your creativity.( 写日记能够捕捉灵感、打破思维桎梏、串联零散想法，进而激发创造力。实用的创意记录方式有晨间随笔、随时记录灵感、绘制思维导图等，长期运用这些方法可以提升创造力。)”可知，本段围绕日记激发创造力展开，介绍多种创作记录方法，坚持使用能提升创造力。A项“毕竟，创造力靠练习习得，并非单纯天赋。” 总结段落观点，呼应坚持练习培养创造力的内容。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Have you ever noticed that your mind becomes most active when the lights go out? That is your brain holding on to unfinished thoughts. (你是否发现，熄灯后大脑反而格外活跃？这是思绪迟迟无法沉淀的表现。)”和下文“Your mind no longer has to guard them. Studies show that people who journal at night fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper rest.(大脑便无需再惦记这些思绪。研究表明，睡前写日记的人入睡更快，睡眠也更沉。)”可知，上文提到关灯后大脑思绪纷乱，留存着未完结的想法，下文说明大脑无需再惦记这些思绪。D项“但睡前把思绪写下来，就能将杂念释放出去。”转折衔接睡前思绪繁杂的问题，引出写日记释放思绪的解决办法。 【20题详解】 下文“When you look back at old pages, you see worries that once felt too heavy to handle now seem small. (当你回顾以前的日记，会发现曾经觉得难以承受的烦恼如今显得微不足道。)”介绍翻看日记能看到自己的成长与变化，空处应总述日记可以记录成长历程。B项“日记也可以成为你人生历程的记录。”统领本段，符合题意。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the summer of 2025, I volunteered at a community center in a provincial town.

She held a basket with some winter roses and a few sprigs of holly (冬青). Dressed in thin clothes, she looked exhausted. “Would you like some flowers? They are just $ 3 for a bunch, and you can pick your own,” she asked me in a soft voice. I paused, gave her a polite smile and replied, “No, thank you”, and then walked straight into the supermarket. I wandered slowly around the supermarket, trying to find the items I needed to buy. However, my mind kept wandering back to the lonely elderly lady standing outdoors in the cold. I couldn’t stop picturing her tired face and fragile figure, nor could I help wondering about the difficulties she was facing. I had my own personal struggles in life and had to budget every expense carefully. I fully understood that $ 3 mattered a lot to me, and I knew it meant far more to this flower-selling lady. But when she asked me, my first thought wasn’t about money. Instead, it was simply that I didn’t have any cash on me. Actually, I had hardly carried cash for years and always paid by card. But deep in my heart, I believed this could never be an excuse. After picking up my goods, I went straight to join the queue at the checkout counter. While waiting in line, I saw several customers paying with cash and the cashier giving change patiently. 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。 A good idea occurred to me as I watched the scene. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held out the three one-dollar bills and handed them to the elderly lady. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A good idea occurred to me as I watched the scene. I could withdraw some cash from the ATM outside. After paying my bill with a card, I hurried out into the cold wind. The elderly lady was still standing there, her thin coat trembling slightly, cheeks pale and hands red with cold. Her basket of winter roses and holly looked so delicate in the gray afternoon light. I felt guilty for refusing her earlier, knowing how hard it must be for her to stand here all day selling flowers just to make a living. I held out the three one-dollar bills and handed them to the elderly lady. She looked at me in surprise, then her tired face lit up with a warm smile. “Thank you so much, dear,” she said softly. She carefully picked the most beautiful bunch of roses and holly and gave it to me. The sweet fragrance filled my nose and warmed my heart. Walking away, I realized kindness costs little but can light up someone’s whole day, turning coldness into warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述寒冷中，超市后门一位老妇卖花，作者起初拒绝。购物时，作者一直惦记着她，深知3美元对老妇意义重大，也为自己没带现金的借口而不安，排队时留意到有人用现金付款。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者决定取钱买花，回到超市外看到老人仍在寒风中卖花，内心满是愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者付钱买花，老人开心赠花，我感悟到善意能温暖人心。 2.续写线索：看到老人仍在卖花——内心愧疚——付钱买花——老人开心给花——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：refuse/decline/turn down ②意识到：realize/recognize/be aware that 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②温和地：softly/gently/tenderly 【点睛】[高分句型1] The elderly lady was still standing there, her thin coat trembling slightly, cheeks pale and hands red with cold. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] I felt guilty for refusing her earlier, knowing how hard it must be for her to stand here all day selling flowers just to make a living.（运用了现在分词knowing作状语和how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年5月高中毕业班第二次教学质量调研 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

But the 24-year-old made an unexpected choice: she returned to her distant and hard-to-reach village in the Qinling Mountains to launch an organic farming project. Lin’s village sits on the hillside, with terraces (梯田) that had been abandoned for years. Local villagers used to grow corn with chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药), but the income was low, and the soil had been badly degraded. When Lin said she wanted to grow organic kiwifruit without any chemicals, nearly all villagers doubted her. “They said I was wasting my college degree, and that the ‘fancy ideas’ would never work in the mountains,” Lin recalled. With no initial support, Lin rented 20 acres of abandoned terraces, learned organic planting skills from her former university tutors, and worked in the fields every day. She used fallen leaves to make natural fertilizer, and built small water-saving irrigation systems to protect local water resources. Two years later, her kiwifruit trees bore fruit, and the products sold well online at twice the price of ordinary kiwifruit. Seeing Lin’s success, villagers began to follow her. She taught them organic planting skills for free, helped them set up online shops, and even built a small study center for local teenagers to learn about ecological protection. By late 2025, over 40 families in the village had joined her project, and the village’s per capita income had doubled. “Rural vitalization (振兴) isn’t just about new roads or buildings. It’s about giving young people a reason to come home, to make our mountains greener and our villagers richer at the same time,” Lin told Reuters. 4. Which of the following best describes Lin Qiao’s hometown in the past? A. Unfriendly and isolated. B. Crowded and polluted. C. Remote and underdeveloped. D. Mountainous and productive. 5. What challenge did Lin Qiao face at first? A. Shortage of sales channels. B. Lack of a college degree. C. Limited natural resources. D. Disbelief from local villagers. 6. What made Lin Qiao’s kiwifruit popular online? A. Its chemical-free organic quality. B. Villagers’ great help with sales. C. The university’s advertising help. D. Its lower price than ordinary kiwifruit. 7. What does Lin Qiao’s story show? A. College graduates should be devoted to scientific research. B. Young people can play a key role in rural development. C. Organic farming should be popularized in rural areas. D. Online sales are more profitable than offline sales. C As countries work harder to move away from fossil fuels and fight climate change, finding reliable, clean and steady power is very important. In this search, geothermal (地热的) energy — using the great heat from inside the Earth — is seeing a strong comeback worldwide. Unlike solar or wind power, which can change with the weather, geothermal plants can produce electricity all the time, day and night. This provides the stable “baseload” power needed to support grids (电网) that use more and more changeable energy sources. This modern comeback is mainly driven by new technology. Advanced drilling methods, first used by the oil and gas industry, now let engineers reach deeper, hotter rocks that were once out of reach. New systems can create artificial underground reservoirs (热储层) in hot, dry rock, greatly increasing possible locations. A leading example is the United Downs project in Cornwall, UK. This plant not only makes enough electricity for about 10,000 homes but also shows an extra benefit: It can collect lithium (锂), a key mineral for batteries, from the hot water it uses. The demand for lithium has soared due to its important role in EV batteries and energy storage. As a byproduct of geothermal energy, lithium can be extracted by using Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology, which efficiently removes lithium from geothermal waters while reinjecting the water underground. This sustainable approach minimizes environmental impact and enhances lithium production. Challenges remain. The high starting cost for drilling is still a barrier, and there is always a risk of not finding enough heat. Also, not every area has the right underground conditions. However, continuous improvement is lowering costs and raising efficiency. As the world looks for solutions for both clean energy and important minerals, geothermal energy’s double offering makes it not just an alternative, but a key part of a sustainable and secure energy future. 8. How does geothermal energy differ from solar and wind power? A. It produces more green energy. B. It requires more land to operate. C. It can change with the weather. D. It can supply power continuously. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The reasons for the rise of geothermal energy. B. The environmental effects of geothermal energy. C. The popularization of geothermal energy. D. The history of geothermal energy research. 10. What does the underlined word “soared” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Declined. B. Increased. C. Changed. D. Appeared. 11. What does the author think of the future of geothermal energy? A. Costly. B. Uncertain. C. Promising. D. Risky. D In economics, there is a well-known idea called “signaling.” It explains why people often take seemingly unnecessary or expensive actions just to send a clear message. A common example is a university degree. Some economists believe that a degree does not directly prove that you have job-related skills. Instead, the difficult process of getting it — going to classes, finishing homework, and passing exams — shows employers that you are disciplined, intelligent, and able to stick to long-term goals. However, in the digital age, signaling is facing a trouble defined as “cheap talk.” In the past, sending a reliable signal required real effort. Writing a letter by hand took time and care, and publishing a book needed strict review and professional support. These costs worked as filters (过滤器), making sure only valuable messages reached others. Today, things have changed greatly. Anyone can create a perfect life on social media or produce a good essay with AI in seconds. When signals are cheap and easy to make, they gradually lose their ability to tell real ability from false appearance. This drop in costly signals creates a widespread problem: “noise.” When everyone sends perfect, artificial messages at the same time, the result is chaos, and no one stands out. Employers receive thousands of similar, well-designed resumes. Consumers are flooded with overly positive five-star reviews that may be fake or produced by tools. In this situation, the future of trust is surprising: we may start valuing “costly” signals again. We may prefer experiences and efforts that are hard to copy: live shows instead of recorded ones, face-to-face interviews instead of online portfolios (作品), and natural talks instead of prepared speeches. In a world of artificial perfection, real, unpolished and difficult-to-copy human effort may become the new valuable quality. 12. What does a university degree signal to employers according to some economists? A. Important personal qualities. B. Relevant work experience. C. Job-specific technical skills. D. High academic performance. 13. Why does the author mention “cheap talk” in paragraph 2? A. To stress AI’s influence on modern industries. B. To advise people to reduce using social media. C. To prove cheap signals unable to show true ability. D. To encourage people to write more handwritten letters. 14. Which of the following may be valued in the future to build trust? A. Copying a ready-made product review. B. Over-polishing photos on social media. C. Creating resumes with AI in seconds. D. Making an unprepared speech. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The history of economic signaling. B. The changing situation of signaling. C. The use of digital tools on signaling. D. The practical value of academic signaling. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 Can just ten minutes of journaling really make a difference? The answer is yes. ____16____ When you spend just ten minutes journaling, you give your mind a place to unload everything that has been circling in your head. Instead of letting worries take over, you put them on paper where you can see them. It’s like clearing a messy desk. Once the mess is gone, your mind feels quieter and your focus returns. ____17____ Many people describe feeling lighter and calmer after they write. That sense of control is especially important when life feels busy or unpredictable. Journaling unlocks creativity by capturing ideas, overcoming blocks, and connecting different thoughts. Practical creative journaling techniques include morning pages (stream of consciousness), idea capture (always carry a notebook), mind mapping and so on. Regular use of these methods builds your creativity. ____18____ Sleep is another area where journaling can work wonders. Have you ever noticed that your mind becomes most active when the lights go out? That is your brain holding on to unfinished thoughts. ____19____ Your mind no longer has to guard them. Studies show that people who journal at night fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper rest. ____20____ When you look back at old pages, you see worries that once felt too heavy to handle now seem small. You notice your progress. You see growth. And that reminder — that you are changing, step by step — is one of the strongest sources of motivation you can have. A. After all, creativity is a practice, not just a gift. B. Journaling can also become a record of your journey. C. This easy daily practice can bring many surprising benefits. D. But when you write them down before bed, you release them. E. Having regular conversations with your friends helps you feel relaxed. F. This simple “mental clean-up” is one of the fastest ways to reduce stress. G. Over time, these small adjustments help you feel more emotionally balanced. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the summer of 2025, I volunteered at a community center in a provincial town.

She held a basket with some winter roses and a few sprigs of holly (冬青). Dressed in thin clothes, she looked exhausted. “Would you like some flowers? They are just $ 3 for a bunch, and you can pick your own,” she asked me in a soft voice. I paused, gave her a polite smile and replied, “No, thank you”, and then walked straight into the supermarket. I wandered slowly around the supermarket, trying to find the items I needed to buy. However, my mind kept wandering back to the lonely elderly lady standing outdoors in the cold. I couldn’t stop picturing her tired face and fragile figure, nor could I help wondering about the difficulties she was facing. I had my own personal struggles in life and had to budget every expense carefully. I fully understood that $ 3 mattered a lot to me, and I knew it meant far more to this flower-selling lady. But when she asked me, my first thought wasn’t about money. Instead, it was simply that I didn’t have any cash on me. Actually, I had hardly carried cash for years and always paid by card. But deep in my heart, I believed this could never be an excuse. After picking up my goods, I went straight to join the queue at the checkout counter. While waiting in line, I saw several customers paying with cash and the cashier giving change patiently. 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。 A good idea occurred to me as I watched the scene. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held out the three one-dollar bills and handed them to the elderly lady. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
