The environmental impact is equally alarming — food waste accounts for roughly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, nearly four times the emissions of global airlines. Where’s the waste? Food is lost at all levels of the food supply chain, from going unharvested on farms, being rejected by grocery stores for imperfections, spoiling on buffet lines, and rotting in the fridge. Nearly half of the waste occurs in the home, making household waste a crucial aspect to better understand and reduce. How did we get here? Many of us underestimate our food waste — about 75% of Americans believe they waste less food than the average person, making it harder to see ourselves as part of the problem. In addition to underestimating our role, food waste prevention often takes a back seat to other priorities, even when we feel guilty or recognize the costs. This “attitude-behavior gap” explains why good intentions don’t always translate into action. What can we do? The table below reveals the top motivators for reducing food waste. Building on these insights, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers practical steps to turn good intentions into action at home. Top food-saving motivators Start by planning meals, storing food properly, and using a food waste tracking app to understand your habits. Then make small changes and set weekly leftover goals. Just focus on what motivates you most and act on it. 21. Where does most food waste occur in the U.S.? A. Farms. B. Homes. C. Grocery stores. D. Buffet lines. 22. Why might people fail to take action to reduce food waste? A. They give higher priority to other tasks. B. They are unaware of personal food waste. C. They believe businesses, not individuals, are responsible. D. They see home food waste as environmentally unimportant. 23. Which factor plays the most significant role in motivating Americans to save food? A. Financial benefits. B. Environmental concerns. C. Guilt about wasting food. D. Global or national food issues. B The oven’s warm glow and pleasant smell of fresh bread signal the morning rush at Bach’s Bakery in the city of Changsha, Hunan province. However, although the baking staff chatter excitedly, you can hear a pin drop. Bach’s employs mainly hearing-impaired staff, whose jokes over trays of pumpkin bread, Danish sausage rolls and apple turnovers are done entirely in sign language. The bakery, owned and operated by Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee, provides work opportunities that are often hard to come by for their employees. Uwe is from Germany. After graduating from college, he worked as an engineer in his hometown. Dorothee was a teacher in a primary school. The couple lived a prosperous life, but they were always interested in China and ready to help others. They happened to see a charity project in Changsha that was recruiting volunteers to help local hearing-impaired children. The project provided them with an approach to helping more people in need. In 2002, the couple quit their jobs in Germany, moved to Changsha, and began to work as volunteers. Since then, they have helped more than 500 children with hearing disabilities. The situation for the hearing-impaired in China has improved over the years. More public funding has been invested to assist their studies. However, they need employment training to integrate further into society. To address this need, Uwe took over a bakery on a narrow alley in 2011 and welcomed any hearing-impaired person who wanted to learn how to bake. Initially, Uwe had trouble making ends meet because of the bakery’s unfavorable location until his story was spread across the city. The bakery has now become a local attraction, with new customers coming every few minutes. “Everyone deserves equal opportunities,” said Uwe.“ We want to be the people who create opportunities.” 24. What is special about Bach’s Bakery? A. Volunteers here like chattering. B. Most of the staff use sign language. C. It has the best pumpkin bread in China. D. Customers are required to be quiet here. 25. Why did the couple first come to Changsha? A. To open a bakery. B. To study Chinese culture. C. To participate in a charity project. D. To look for better job opportunities. 26. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. The bakery is conveniently located. B. Public funds are mainly for job training. C. Educational support alone is insufficient. D. Uwe pioneered hiring the hearing-impaired. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Baking Generosity: A Bakery of Hope B. Promoting German Bread: Bach’s Store C. Bridging Culture: A German Couple’s Life in China D. Aiding the Unheard: A Volunteer Project in Changsha C It’s looking more and more like using AI to work can burn yourself out, despite the tech’s promises of easing workloads. A latest research from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and the University of California found that among nearly 1,500 full time US workers surveyed, an alarming proportion of employees who constantly use AI at work to push their productivity past their normal capacity are becoming fatigued. The researchers even gave the phenomenon an appealing name: “AI brain fry.” In the study, 14 percent of workers said they had experienced “mental weariness that results from too much use of, interaction with and/ or oversight of AI tools beyond one’s cognitive capacity.” The percentage was highest in marketing, software development, HR, finance, and IT roles. AI companies promise that AI can supercharge productivity. Whether or not that’s true, the tech is enabling workers to multitask at a speed and workload well past their regular limit, which seems to be part of the problem regarding its cognitive effects. The study identified information overload and constant task switching as some of the main drivers of brain fry. In particular, the most demanding aspect of using AI to automate work was oversight, or the need to constantly monitor multiple AI agents at the same time. “I kept bouncing between different AI tools doing different tasks, double-checking every little thing,” one senior engineering manager described in the research. “But instead of moving faster, my brain just started to feel crowded. It finally came to me that I was working harder to manage the tools than to actually solve the problem.” Brain fry is also bad news for an employer’s all-important bottom line. Workers who experienced brain fry experienced a 33 percent increase in decision fatigue. For multi billion dollar firms, this could translate to millions of dollars of being lost to poor decision-making each year. The findings add to a growing body of research and anecdotal accounts describing the negativity of using AI at the workplace. Amid increasing discussion on the topic, more engineers have come out to criticize AI’s usage in the workplace, with many admitting that their own AI usage was speeding them towards burnout. 28. What does the underlined word “fatigued” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Energetic. B. Exhausted. C. Productive. D. Anxious. 29. What can we learn about “AI brain fry” from the first two paragraphs? A. It has influenced most US workers. B. It leads to workers’ mental problems. C. It has been identified in multiple fields. D. It promotes employers’ cognitive ability. 30. What is the dominant reason for AI brain fry according to the research? A. Inability of AI tools to make decisions. B. Unfulfilled promises from AI companies. C. Low efficiency of AI tools in multitasking. D. Overload of examining outputs of AI tools. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Workers enjoy discussing AI tools. B. AI has increased the labor expenses. C. More engineers refuse the usage of AI. D. The downside of AI is drawing attention. D Across social media platforms, videos highlighting daily routines, high-speed rail systems and traditional wellness practices have drawn millions of views in the US, making the hashtag (标签)# Chinamaxxing a trendy topic. The term’s suffix,”maxxing,” is Internet slang (俚语) that means going all in on something. For example, “looksmaxxers” are paying particular attention to their appearance, and “healthmaxxers” constantly share tips on improving personal well-being. In that context,”Chinamaxxing” refers to adopting elements of Chinese daily routines, wellness practices and aesthetics (美学), often framed as a form of lifestyle enhancement. In one widely shared video titled “Day 1 of Chinamaxxing”, the creator sets the scene with traditional guzheng music as he pours hot water into a cup with honey, describing it as “resetting the body, upgrading the atmosphere”. In another video, a user films herself at a dim sum restaurant, eating chow fun and rice noodle rolls, labeling the post: “A very Chinese time of my life.” They are calling themselves “Chinese baddies” and joking that they are “becoming Chinese”. The trend appears to gain popularity particularly among younger American audiences. Younger generations increasingly encounter China through short-form videos, live streams and peer-to-peer exchanges rather than traditional news coverage. The algorithm-driven (算法驱动的) nature of platforms such as TikTok often promotes visually striking content, shaping understanding through everyday imagery rather than policy debates. Matt Soren, a Nashville native who has lived in Chongqing for nearly 17 years, began creating content about a year ago, documenting daily life in China from the perspective of a US citizen. He believes the rise of Chinamaxxing may reflect a broader search for something different. “I think it might be because of a dislike for Western culture and wanting to embrace something different,” he told China Daily. Soren recently posted a video about Chinamaxxing, offering his own interpretation of what it means to “become Chinese”. For him, the trend is not just about adopting visible habits. “If you really want to learn about Chinamaxxing, don't just think about the habits, but think about the heart, the reason behind the things… go dive into it just a little bit deeper and it'll surprise you.” 32. What do we know about Chinamaxxing? A. It intends to spread Chinese culture. B. It holds equal attraction for Americans. C. It appeals to Americans to become Chinese. D. It suggests the popularity of Chinese culture. 33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly intend to convey? A. The creators enjoy their lives in China. B. The creators post those videos as jokes. C. Chinese culture has an impact on Americans. D. Videos about Chinamaxxing go viral in the US. 34. What makes Chinamaxxing popular among younger generations? A. Their personal experiences of Chinese culture. B. Their desire to be exposed to different cultures. C. Their preference for the algorithm of platforms. D. Their shared habit of recording Chinese lifestyle. 35. What is Soren's major suggestion for “becoming Chinese”? A. Try to adapt yourself to Chinese culture. B. Understand the reasons behind this trend. C. Have a deep insight into Chinese lifestyle. D. Integrate Chinese lifestyle into daily routines. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is proof that hiking makes you happier and healthier. But you may feel it challenging to hear the crunch of leaves under your feet and see the world from above. ___36___ We talked to the experts to find the best tips for beginner hikers: Start small.

So carry extra water, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and at least a small first aid kit, even on shorter hikes. Overestimate your trail time. Hiking can be a slower process than what green hands realize. That’s why experts suggest erring on the longer side when estimating how long it’ll take to complete a route. As a general rule, keep in mind that time is based on physical fitness and miles. ___39___ Then, add an additional hour of extra time for every mile gained. Don’t ignore your own backyard. ___40___ Cities, counties and states all have parks or natural areas to get started hiking.

D. Luckily, it’s easier to start hiking than you may think. E. It’s also important to start practicing with a backpack of some sort. F.

Not just any backpack, but a worn one with a broken zipper that my classmate, Jake, carried every day. I’d watched him for weeks — struggling to keep his books from falling out, rushing to catch the bus with one hand holding the broken flap closed. One morning, I saw him sitting alone in the cafeteria, staring at his empty lunchbox. That’s when I knew I had to do something. Jake was a new student, having moved to our town with his family after his father lost his job. He rarely spoke, kept to himself, and never joined any clubs or activities. I’d tried saying hello a few times, but he’d just nod and look away. I knew there must be unspeakable embarrassment hidden behind his silence, and he was unwilling to show his vulnerability to strangers easily. So I started looking for all kinds of natural opportunities to approach him: I deliberately sat in the empty seat next to him during breaks, pretending to borrow a pen or ask a math question. Even if his responses were only a few words, I always wore a gentle smile, never pressing or urging him, fearing that I would put him under any pressure. Slowly, his guard against me faded a little. He would occasionally respond to my greetings actively, and even whisper a “thank you” when I handed him an eraser. One lunch break, I saw Jake sitting in the playground corner, struggling to stuff books into his tattered backpack, his eyes helpless. I sat beside him, sharing my own childhood embarrassment of losing a backpack to connect with him. Touched, he stammered out his family’s trouble after his father’s unemployment — no money for supplies or even lunch. My heart ached, and I resolved to help without hurting his pride, wondering how to offer gentle, unnoticeable support. 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。 I posted a simple note on the school bulletin board. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the month, the Backpack Project had collected over 30 backpacks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆八中高2026届5月全真模拟（八） 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名,准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What has the woman bought?

Love for dreams. B. Beauty of columns. C. Pain and suffering. 20. What is the main focus of Frida's works? A. Real experiences. B. Imaginary scenes. C. Buildings and museums. 【答案】17. B 18. C 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: Today we’ll discuss Frida Kahlo, a famous Mexican artist known for her powerful self-portraits. She was born in 1907. At age six, she caught polio, a disease which left one leg thinner. Then, at 18 a bus accidents changed everything. She suffered serious injuries and had to spend months in bed recovering. During this time, Frieda began to paint. A mirror was placed above her bed. This explains why so many of her paintings are self-portraits. She once said I paint myself because I am often alone and I am the subject I know best. Her paintings express both physical pain and emotional suffering. In the broken column, she shows her body split open, with a cracked column inside. Nails are stuck into her skin. The image is shocking but honest. Frieda stated I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality. Today she represents courage and strength. Her home, the blue house in Mexico City, is now a museum that attracts visitors from around the globe. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Food Loss and Waste in the U.S. The scale of the problem Nearly a third of food in the U.S. goes uneaten, costing the nation $310 billion annually. The environmental impact is equally alarming — food waste accounts for roughly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, nearly four times the emissions of global airlines. Where’s the waste? Food is lost at all levels of the food supply chain, from going unharvested on farms, being rejected by grocery stores for imperfections, spoiling on buffet lines, and rotting in the fridge. Nearly half of the waste occurs in the home, making household waste a crucial aspect to better understand and reduce. How did we get here? Many of us underestimate our food waste — about 75% of Americans believe they waste less food than the average person, making it harder to see ourselves as part of the problem. In addition to underestimating our role, food waste prevention often takes a back seat to other priorities, even when we feel guilty or recognize the costs. This “attitude-behavior gap” explains why good intentions don’t always translate into action. What can we do? The table below reveals the top motivators for reducing food waste. Building on these insights, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers practical steps to turn good intentions into action at home. Top food-saving motivators Start by planning meals, storing food properly, and using a food waste tracking app to understand your habits. Then make small changes and set weekly leftover goals. Just focus on what motivates you most and act on it. 21. Where does most food waste occur in the U.S.? A. Farms. B. Homes. C. Grocery stores. D. Buffet lines. 22. Why might people fail to take action to reduce food waste? A. They give higher priority to other tasks. B. They are unaware of personal food waste. C. They believe businesses, not individuals, are responsible. D. They see home food waste as environmentally unimportant. 23. Which factor plays the most significant role in motivating Americans to save food? A. Financial benefits. B. Environmental concerns. C. Guilt about wasting food. D. Global or national food issues. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了美国食物浪费问题的规模、浪费发生的环节、人们未能减少浪费的原因，以及激励人们减少食物浪费的因素和可采取的措施。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Where’s the waste?部分“Nearly half of the waste occurs in the home, making household waste a crucial aspect to better understand and reduce. (近一半的浪费发生在家庭中，这使得家庭浪费成为一个需要更好理解和减少的关键方面。)”可知，美国大部分食物浪费发生在家庭中。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据How did we get here?部分“In addition to underestimating our role, food waste prevention often takes a back seat to other priorities, even when we feel guilty or recognize the costs. (除了低估我们的作用外，防止食物浪费往往让位于其他优先事项，即使我们感到内疚或认识到代价。)”可知，人们未能采取行动减少食物浪费是因为他们将其他任务置于更高的优先位置。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Top food-saving motivators (节约食物的主要动机) 表格中的数据可知，各项动机及其占比分别为：“SAVING MONEY (省钱)（82%）”；“MANAGING HOME MORE EFFICIENTLY (更高效地管理家庭)（76%）”；“FEELING GUILTY WHEN THROWING AWAY FOOD (扔掉食物时感到内疚)（60%）”；“CONSIDERING GLOBAL OR NATIONAL FOOD SHORTAGES (考虑全球或国家粮食短缺问题)（44%）”以及“REDUCING IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT (减少对环境的影响)（40%）”。其中，SAVING MONEY (省钱) 以82%的占比位居首位，远超其他各项动机。由此可知，经济利益在激励美国人节约食物方面发挥着最显著的作用。 B The oven’s warm glow and pleasant smell of fresh bread signal the morning rush at Bach’s Bakery in the city of Changsha, Hunan province. However, although the baking staff chatter excitedly, you can hear a pin drop. Bach’s employs mainly hearing-impaired staff, whose jokes over trays of pumpkin bread, Danish sausage rolls and apple turnovers are done entirely in sign language. The bakery, owned and operated by Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee, provides work opportunities that are often hard to come by for their employees. Uwe is from Germany. After graduating from college, he worked as an engineer in his hometown. Dorothee was a teacher in a primary school. The couple lived a prosperous life, but they were always interested in China and ready to help others. They happened to see a charity project in Changsha that was recruiting volunteers to help local hearing-impaired children. The project provided them with an approach to helping more people in need. In 2002, the couple quit their jobs in Germany, moved to Changsha, and began to work as volunteers. Since then, they have helped more than 500 children with hearing disabilities. The situation for the hearing-impaired in China has improved over the years. More public funding has been invested to assist their studies. However, they need employment training to integrate further into society. To address this need, Uwe took over a bakery on a narrow alley in 2011 and welcomed any hearing-impaired person who wanted to learn how to bake. Initially, Uwe had trouble making ends meet because of the bakery’s unfavorable location until his story was spread across the city. The bakery has now become a local attraction, with new customers coming every few minutes. “Everyone deserves equal opportunities,” said Uwe.“ We want to be the people who create opportunities.” 24. What is special about Bach’s Bakery? A. Volunteers here like chattering. B. Most of the staff use sign language. C. It has the best pumpkin bread in China. D. Customers are required to be quiet here. 25. Why did the couple first come to Changsha? A. To open a bakery. B. To study Chinese culture. C. To participate in a charity project. D. To look for better job opportunities. 26. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. The bakery is conveniently located. B. Public funds are mainly for job training. C. Educational support alone is insufficient. D. Uwe pioneered hiring the hearing-impaired. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Baking Generosity: A Bakery of Hope B. Promoting German Bread: Bach’s Store C. Bridging Culture: A German Couple’s Life in China D. Aiding the Unheard: A Volunteer Project in Changsha 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了一对德国夫妇来到长沙做公益，帮扶听障儿童，后开设面包店招收听障员工，为他们提供就业岗位，这家暖心面包店也逐渐成为当地一处特色。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Bach’s employs mainly hearing-impaired staff, whose jokes over trays of pumpkin bread, Danish sausage rolls and apple turnovers are done entirely in sign language.(巴赫面包店主要雇用听力有障碍的员工，他们为顾客端上一盘盘南瓜面包、丹麦香肠卷和苹果派时所讲的笑话，完全是通过手语来表达的)”可知，巴赫面包店的大部分员工都使用手语交流。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They happened to see a charity project in Changsha that was recruiting volunteers to help local hearing-impaired children. The project provided them with an approach to helping more people in need. In 2002, the couple quit their jobs in Germany, moved to Changsha, and began to work as volunteers.(他们偶然在长沙看到了一个慈善项目，该项目正在招募志愿者来帮助当地的听力障碍儿童。这个项目为他们提供了一种帮助更多有需要的人的方法。2002年，这对夫妇辞去了在德国的工作，搬到了长沙，并开始作为志愿者工作)”可知，这对夫妇最初来到长沙是为了参与一项慈善项目。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“More public funding has been invested to assist their studies. However, they need employment training to integrate further into society.(更多的公共资金已被投入以资助他们的学业。然而，他们还需要接受就业培训，以便更好地融入社会)”可知，单靠教育支持是不够的。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Bach’s employs mainly hearing-impaired staff, whose jokes over trays of pumpkin bread, Danish sausage rolls and apple turnovers are done entirely in sign language. The bakery, owned and operated by Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee, provides work opportunities that are often hard to come by for their employees.(巴赫的面包店主要雇用听力有障碍的员工，他们通过手语来讲述有关一盘盘南瓜面包、丹麦香肠卷和苹果派的笑话。这家面包店由乌韦·布鲁尔和他的妻子多洛特经营，为员工提供了往往很难获得的工作机会)”结合全文讲述德国夫妇开办面包店，为听障人士提供就业机会，传递善意与希望。可知，A选项“慷慨烘焙：希望之烘焙店”最符合文章标题。 C It’s looking more and more like using AI to work can burn yourself out, despite the tech’s promises of easing workloads. A latest research from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and the University of California found that among nearly 1,500 full time US workers surveyed, an alarming proportion of employees who constantly use AI at work to push their productivity past their normal capacity are becoming fatigued. The researchers even gave the phenomenon an appealing name: “AI brain fry.” In the study, 14 percent of workers said they had experienced “mental weariness that results from too much use of, interaction with and/ or oversight of AI tools beyond one’s cognitive capacity.” The percentage was highest in marketing, software development, HR, finance, and IT roles. AI companies promise that AI can supercharge productivity. Whether or not that’s true, the tech is enabling workers to multitask at a speed and workload well past their regular limit, which seems to be part of the problem regarding its cognitive effects. The study identified information overload and constant task switching as some of the main drivers of brain fry. In particular, the most demanding aspect of using AI to automate work was oversight, or the need to constantly monitor multiple AI agents at the same time. “I kept bouncing between different AI tools doing different tasks, double-checking every little thing,” one senior engineering manager described in the research. “But instead of moving faster, my brain just started to feel crowded. It finally came to me that I was working harder to manage the tools than to actually solve the problem.” Brain fry is also bad news for an employer’s all-important bottom line. Workers who experienced brain fry experienced a 33 percent increase in decision fatigue. For multi billion dollar firms, this could translate to millions of dollars of being lost to poor decision-making each year. The findings add to a growing body of research and anecdotal accounts describing the negativity of using AI at the workplace. Amid increasing discussion on the topic, more engineers have come out to criticize AI’s usage in the workplace, with many admitting that their own AI usage was speeding them towards burnout. 28. What does the underlined word “fatigued” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Energetic. B. Exhausted. C. Productive. D. Anxious. 29. What can we learn about “AI brain fry” from the first two paragraphs? A. It has influenced most US workers. B. It leads to workers’ mental problems. C. It has been identified in multiple fields. D. It promotes employers’ cognitive ability. 30. What is the dominant reason for AI brain fry according to the research? A. Inability of AI tools to make decisions. B. Unfulfilled promises from AI companies. C. Low efficiency of AI tools in multitasking. D. Overload of examining outputs of AI tools. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Workers enjoy discussing AI tools. B. AI has increased the labor expenses. C. More engineers refuse the usage of AI. D. The downside of AI is drawing attention. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于“AI大脑疲劳”现象的研究，指出过度使用AI工具会导致员工精神疲惫、决策疲劳，并分析了其原因和影响。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“It’s looking more and more like using AI to work can burn yourself out, despite the tech’s promises of easing workloads. (尽管这项技术承诺减轻工作负担，但使用AI工作似乎越来越会让人精疲力竭。)”以及“The researchers even gave the phenomenon an appealing name: ‘AI brain fry.’ (研究人员甚至给这个现象起了一个引人注目的名字：‘AI大脑疲劳’。)”可知，fatigued与burn yourself out和AI brain fry表意一致，均指因过度使用AI而导致的身心疲惫状态，因此fatigued意为“疲惫的、精疲力竭的”。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The percentage was highest in marketing, software development, HR, finance, and IT roles. (这一比例在市场营销、软件开发、人力资源、财务和IT岗位中最高。)”可知，“AI大脑疲劳”现象已在多个领域中被识别出来。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In particular, the most demanding aspect of using AI to automate work was oversight, or the need to constantly monitor multiple AI agents at the same time. (特别是，使用AI自动化工作最费力的方面是监督，即需要同时持续监控多个AI智能体的需求。)”可知，导致AI大脑疲劳的主要原因是需要不断检查AI工具的输出结果。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings add to a growing body of research and anecdotal accounts describing the negativity of using AI at the workplace. Amid increasing discussion on the topic, more engineers have come out to criticize AI’s usage in the workplace, with many admitting that their own AI usage was speeding them towards burnout. (这些发现增加了越来越多描述在工作场所使用AI的负面性的研究和轶事记录。在这个话题的讨论日益增多之际，越来越多的工程师站出来批评AI在工作场所的使用，许多人承认他们自己使用AI正加速使他们走向倦怠。)”可知，AI的负面影响正在引起人们的关注。 D Across social media platforms, videos highlighting daily routines, high-speed rail systems and traditional wellness practices have drawn millions of views in the US, making the hashtag (标签)# Chinamaxxing a trendy topic. The term’s suffix,”maxxing,” is Internet slang (俚语) that means going all in on something. For example, “looksmaxxers” are paying particular attention to their appearance, and “healthmaxxers” constantly share tips on improving personal well-being. In that context,”Chinamaxxing” refers to adopting elements of Chinese daily routines, wellness practices and aesthetics (美学), often framed as a form of lifestyle enhancement. In one widely shared video titled “Day 1 of Chinamaxxing”, the creator sets the scene with traditional guzheng music as he pours hot water into a cup with honey, describing it as “resetting the body, upgrading the atmosphere”. In another video, a user films herself at a dim sum restaurant, eating chow fun and rice noodle rolls, labeling the post: “A very Chinese time of my life.” They are calling themselves “Chinese baddies” and joking that they are “becoming Chinese”. The trend appears to gain popularity particularly among younger American audiences. Younger generations increasingly encounter China through short-form videos, live streams and peer-to-peer exchanges rather than traditional news coverage. The algorithm-driven (算法驱动的) nature of platforms such as TikTok often promotes visually striking content, shaping understanding through everyday imagery rather than policy debates. Matt Soren, a Nashville native who has lived in Chongqing for nearly 17 years, began creating content about a year ago, documenting daily life in China from the perspective of a US citizen. He believes the rise of Chinamaxxing may reflect a broader search for something different. “I think it might be because of a dislike for Western culture and wanting to embrace something different,” he told China Daily. Soren recently posted a video about Chinamaxxing, offering his own interpretation of what it means to “become Chinese”. For him, the trend is not just about adopting visible habits. “If you really want to learn about Chinamaxxing, don't just think about the habits, but think about the heart, the reason behind the things… go dive into it just a little bit deeper and it'll surprise you.” 32. What do we know about Chinamaxxing? A. It intends to spread Chinese culture. B. It holds equal attraction for Americans. C. It appeals to Americans to become Chinese. D. It suggests the popularity of Chinese culture. 33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly intend to convey? A. The creators enjoy their lives in China. B. The creators post those videos as jokes. C. Chinese culture has an impact on Americans. D. Videos about Chinamaxxing go viral in the US. 34. What makes Chinamaxxing popular among younger generations? A. Their personal experiences of Chinese culture. B. Their desire to be exposed to different cultures. C. Their preference for the algorithm of platforms. D. Their shared habit of recording Chinese lifestyle. 35. What is Soren's major suggestion for “becoming Chinese”? A. Try to adapt yourself to Chinese culture. B. Understand the reasons behind this trend. C. Have a deep insight into Chinese lifestyle. D. Integrate Chinese lifestyle into daily routines. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了社交媒体上”Chinamaxxing (极致中国化)”这一潮流在美国年轻人中的流行现象，通过具体视频案例说明中国日常生活习惯和养生方式对美国人的影响，并引用长期旅居中国的美国人Matt Soren的观点，指出这一潮流反映了年轻一代对不同文化的探索与追求。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“videos highlighting daily routines, high-speed rail systems and traditional wellness practices have drawn millions of views in the US, making the hashtag #Chinamaxxing a trendy topic (展示日常生活、高铁系统和传统养生方式的视频在美国获得了数百万的浏览量，使#Chinamaxxing (极致中国化)成为一个热门话题)”以及第二段对Chinamaxxing的解释可知，这一现象表明中国文化在美国受到了广泛欢迎。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中第一个视频“pours hot water into a cup with honey, describing it as “resetting the body, upgrading the atmosphere” (往杯子里倒蜂蜜热水，称之为“重启身体，升级氛围”)”以及第二个视频“eating chow fun and rice noodle rolls, labeling the post: “A very Chinese time of my life” (吃炒河粉和米卷，配文：“我人生中非常中国的时刻”)”可知，这两个视频都展示了美国创作者在日常生活中采纳中国习惯，说明中国文化正在对美国人产生影响。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Younger generations increasingly encounter China through short-form videos, live streams and peer-to-peer exchanges rather than traditional news coverage (年轻一代越来越多地通过短视频、直播和点对点交流而非传统新闻报道来接触中国)”以及Matt Soren所说的“I think it might be because of a dislike for Western culture and wanting to embrace something different (我认为这可能是因为对西方文化的不喜欢，想要拥抱一些不同的东西)”可知，年轻一代之所以热衷Chinamaxxing (极致中国化)，是因为他们渴望接触不同的文化。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Soren的话“If you really want to learn about Chinamaxxing, don't just think about the habits, but think about the heart, the reason behind the things… go dive into it just a little bit deeper and it'll surprise you. (如果你真的想了解Chinamaxxing，不要只想着习惯，要想想背后的心意和原因……再深入一点，你会感到惊喜的)”可知，Soren的主要建议是要深入了解中国生活方式，而非停留在表面习惯。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is proof that hiking makes you happier and healthier. But you may feel it challenging to hear the crunch of leaves under your feet and see the world from above. ___36___ We talked to the experts to find the best tips for beginner hikers: Start small. Stepping over tree roots and moving around rocks on a trail can be more tiring than you might imagine. Start out with a few miles at a time and gradually build up to a longer journey. ___37___ People often underestimate how heavy a backpack might feel until they try hiking 10 miles or so with it. ___38___ Hopefully you won’t need to use a first aid kit or emergency shelter, but it never hurts to be prepared. So carry extra water, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and at least a small first aid kit, even on shorter hikes. Overestimate your trail time. Hiking can be a slower process than what green hands realize. That’s why experts suggest erring on the longer side when estimating how long it’ll take to complete a route. As a general rule, keep in mind that time is based on physical fitness and miles. ___39___ Then, add an additional hour of extra time for every mile gained. Don’t ignore your own backyard. ___40___ Cities, counties and states all have parks or natural areas to get started hiking. Even very urban areas, like New York City, have green spaces great for shorter hikes. A. Prepare for the worst. B. Pack the basics, just in case. C. You can expect to cover about two miles an hour. D. Luckily, it’s easier to start hiking than you may think. E. It’s also important to start practicing with a backpack of some sort. F. Indeed, it is of significance for you to choose a suitable spot to hike. G. You don’t have to live in the mountains of Colorado to enjoy some quality trail time. 【答案】36. D 37. E 38. A 39. C 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了新手徒步的实用建议：循序渐进起步、备好必备物资、预留足够行程时间、就近在周边绿地开展徒步活动。 【36题详解】 根据上文“There is proof that hiking makes you happier and healthier. But you may feel it challenging to hear the crunch of leaves under your feet and see the world from above.(有证据表明，徒步旅行能让你更快乐、更健康。但你可能会觉得，聆听脚下落叶的沙沙声以及从高处俯瞰这个世界会有些困难)”以及后文“We talked to the experts to find the best tips for beginner hikers(我们咨询了专家，为初涉徒步的爱好者们找到了最佳建议)”可知，前文提到远足有益，但你可能觉得徒步很难，后文引出专家给新手的建议。D选项“幸运的是，开始徒步比你想象的更容易”完美衔接上下文，承上启下。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Start small. Stepping over tree roots and moving around rocks on a trail can be more tiring than you might imagine. Start out with a few miles at a time and gradually build up to a longer journey.(从简单的做起。在小径上跨越树根、绕过石块可能会比你想象的要更费力。一开始可以每次只走几英里，然后逐渐增加路程长度)”以及后文“People often underestimate how heavy a backpack might feel until they try hiking 10 miles or so with it.(人们往往在尝试背着背包徒步10英里左右时才会意识到背包会有多重)”可知，前文建议新手从小里程开始，后文提到人们常常低估背包的重量。E选项“开始练习时背某种背包也很重要”紧扣后文“背包重量”的话题，衔接自然。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Hopefully you won’t need to use a first aid kit or emergency shelter, but it never hurts to be prepared. So carry extra water, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and at least a small first aid kit, even on shorter hikes.(希望你不会需要用到急救包或应急避难所，但做好准备总归是件好事。所以，带上额外的水、零食、防晒霜、驱虫剂以及至少一个小型急救包，即使是在较短的徒步旅行中也是如此)”可知，整段都在讲新手要带好水、零食、急救包等应急物品，以防意外。A选项“做好最坏的打算”正好概括本段核心，引出后文罗列的物品。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Then, add an additional hour of extra time for every mile gained.(然后，每增加一英里就要额外增加一个小时的时间)”以及本段讲估算徒步时间，后文说每增加一英里额外加一小时。C选项“你可以按一小时走大约两英里来估算”给出基础计算标准，正好衔接后文补充规则。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Don’t ignore your own backyard.(不要忽视自家的后院)”以及后文“Cities, counties and states all have parks or natural areas to get started hiking. Even very urban areas, like New York City, have green spaces great for shorter hikes.(城市、县以及各州都有公园或自然保护区可供人们开始进行徒步旅行。即便是像纽约市这样非常繁华的城市，也有适合短途徒步的绿色空间)”可知，前文说不要忽略自家周边，后文提到城市等地都有可以徒步的地方。G选项“你不必住在科罗拉多的山里才能享受高质量的徒步”正好呼应后文“城市也能徒步”的内容。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I always recall an autumn day when life troubled me.

Not just any backpack, but a worn one with a broken zipper that my classmate, Jake, carried every day. I’d watched him for weeks — struggling to keep his books from falling out, rushing to catch the bus with one hand holding the broken flap closed. One morning, I saw him sitting alone in the cafeteria, staring at his empty lunchbox. That’s when I knew I had to do something. Jake was a new student, having moved to our town with his family after his father lost his job. He rarely spoke, kept to himself, and never joined any clubs or activities. I’d tried saying hello a few times, but he’d just nod and look away. I knew there must be unspeakable embarrassment hidden behind his silence, and he was unwilling to show his vulnerability to strangers easily. So I started looking for all kinds of natural opportunities to approach him: I deliberately sat in the empty seat next to him during breaks, pretending to borrow a pen or ask a math question. Even if his responses were only a few words, I always wore a gentle smile, never pressing or urging him, fearing that I would put him under any pressure. Slowly, his guard against me faded a little. He would occasionally respond to my greetings actively, and even whisper a “thank you” when I handed him an eraser. One lunch break, I saw Jake sitting in the playground corner, struggling to stuff books into his tattered backpack, his eyes helpless. I sat beside him, sharing my own childhood embarrassment of losing a backpack to connect with him. Touched, he stammered out his family’s trouble after his father’s unemployment — no money for supplies or even lunch. My heart ached, and I resolved to help without hurting his pride, wondering how to offer gentle, unnoticeable support. 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。 I posted a simple note on the school bulletin board. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the month, the Backpack Project had collected over 30 backpacks. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I posted a simple note on the school bulletin board. It said, “Donate gently used backpacks and school supplies for students in need. Let’s fill a backpack with hope.” I left a cardboard box by the main office and crossed my fingers. At first, the response was slow— just a few notebooks and a half-used pencil. So, with my friends’ help, we made flyers and hung them in every hallway, the library, and the cafeteria. We talked to our teachers, who announced the Backpack Project in class. Slowly, the box began to overflow. We selected a backpack with enough school supplies and requested our teacher present it to Jake as an award for his excellent performance. What I intended to do seemed to be finished, but the donation didn’t stop. By the end of the month, the Backpack Project had collected over 30 backpacks. We decided to donate the extra ones to kids in nearby poor primary schools. I invited Jake to join us, and he hesitated at first but finally agreed. We delivered the backpacks and school supplies to the local community center, which distributed them to families struggling with homelessness and poverty. What started as a small act of kindness from one student turned into a movement. This year, the Backpack Project is a school tradition, with students organizing donation drives throughout the year. Jake is now a member of the student council, leading the project with me. He’s made friends, joined the debate team, and even started tutoring younger students. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者发现新同学杰克家境窘迫，书包破旧、连午饭都没有。考虑到他的自尊，作者没有直接接济，而是发起书包捐赠活动，借表彰的名义向他送去物资。这项善意之举逐渐发展成校园传统，杰克也变得开朗自信，和作者一同继续传递温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者发起书包捐赠活动，借表彰的名义向杰克送去物资。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写这项善意之举逐渐发展成校园传统，杰克也变得开朗自信，和作者一同继续传递温暖。 2.续写线索：陪走路——帮助——感谢——陪回家——拒绝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①祈祷：cross my fingers/pray ②宣布：announce/declare ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①出色的：excellent/outstanding ②善意：kindness/goodness 【点睛】[高分句型1] We talked to our teachers, who announced the Backpack Project in class.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] What I intended to do seemed to be finished, but the donation didn’t stop.（运用了what引导主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Text one, have you bought your books yet?
