B Mr. Zhang, an 80-year-old war survivor, has been a volunteer at the Nanjing Peace Memorial Hall for 20 years. When he was 8, he experienced the cruel war and lost his parents and little sister. The painful memory has never left him, but it also made him make up his mind to guard peace for his whole life. Every day, Mr. Zhang welcomes visitors from all over the world at the memorial hall. He tells them his own war experience and the stories of the victims, with tears in his eyes every time. At first, he was too sad to speak about the past, but he knew he had to do it — he wanted people to remember the cruelty of war and cherish the peaceful life now. Some young visitors once asked him why he spent so much time on this voluntary work with no pay. Mr. Zhang smiled and said, “Peace is the most precious thing in the world. If my stories can make one more person cherish peace, my work is meaningful.” He also teaches children in primary schools about peace knowledge in his spare time, hoping the peace spirit can be passed on to the next generation. After 20 years, Mr. Zhang’s hair has turned white, but his love for peace is still as strong as ever. He says he will keep working at the memorial hall as long as he can walk and speak, for peace is a lifelong mission for him. 4. What made Mr. Zhang decide to guard peace for his whole life? A. His experience as a volunteer at the memorial hall. B. The cruel war he experienced and the loss of his family. C. The request of the Nanjing Peace Memorial Hall. D.

He does it for money and fame. C. He regards it as a lifelong and meaningful mission. D. He only does it to make up for his painful past. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. A War Survivor’s Lifelong Mission to Guard Peace B. The History of the Nanjing Peace Memorial Hall C. How to Pass on the Peace Spirit to Young People D. The Cruelty of War and the Value of Life C For years, the dream future kitchen looked like something from a sci-fi film: robots turning burgers, mechanical arms moving wildly. But at CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) 2026, industry experts painted a different prospect. The future isn’t arriving with robots looking like us. It’s arriving quietly, invisibly, and it’s already here. Early smart kitchen products made a critical mistake. As Nicole Papantoniou from the Good Housekeeping Institute put it, “A lot of people were putting smart features, which you didn’t really need, into products.” Today’s successful ideas aren’t about adding technology for its own purpose. They’re about friction reduction — making cooking easier without the user even noticing the intelligence at work. This shift is clear in the latest AI appliances. Several brands offer ovens (烤箱) with systems that “see” what you put inside. Simply place the food in, and the machine automatically selects the best cooking option. No buttons, no guesswork. Refrigerators are changing in a similar way. The latest AI models have cameras that identify ingredients, track best-before dates, and suggest recipes based on what you have. A partnership with chef Jamie Oliver brings AI-made recipes tailored to your needs. But perhaps the most unexpected use of AI in the kitchen has nothing to do with cooking. Companies are developing smart range hoods (抽油烟机) that use airflow to create a low-pressure zone above the pan, trapping very small particles (颗粒) before they reach your lungs. So will robots replace human cooks? At a CES Discussion, chef Tyler Florence gave a firm answer. “Human-made will become the new luxury item,” he said, “Machines excel at repetitive, boring tasks. But creativity, the human touch — these will only become precious as technology advances.” The vision from CES 2026 is not a kitchen without cooks. It’s a kitchen where invisible intelligence handles the heavy work, and humans are freed to turn ingredients into meals, and meals into memories. 8. What is the big change of today’s smart kitchen ideas? A. Creating more robot lookalikes. B. Reducing trouble while cooking. C. Designing more sci-fi products. D. Adding more complex functions. 9. How do new AI ovens simplify the cooking process? A. They recognize food and set the right mode. B. They bring AI-made recipes tailored to needs. C. They suggest recipes based on what you have. D. They use airflow to create a low-pressure zone. 10. What can be inferred from Tyler Florence’s words? A. Human creativity will be highly valuable. B. AI will take the place of human creativity. C. Human-made food is more than expensive. D. Machines are better at innovative cooking. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI in Kitchens: A Smart Master for Cooking B. Smart Kitchens: More Robotic, Less Human C. CES 2026: When Kitchens Finally Go Sci-Fi D. Hidden AI: The New Face of Future Kitchens D From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes (通勤). Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 12. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 13. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To compare ants with human drivers. B. To criticize current traffic regulations. C. To explain the math behind traffic jams. D. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 14. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Following strict traffic rules. C. Driving too close to the front. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 15. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on active human intervention. 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15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。 I used to wake up and check my phone.

It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A. But lately, I noticed the disadvantage it carried. B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. Some mornings were more reflective than active. D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone. E. I even finished a chapter before checking the time. F. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. G.

A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night. I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off. It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers. I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club — standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event? A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over. 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 hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 平遥二中高二年级期中考试英语试题 考试时长：120分钟 总分：150分 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分60分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题3分，满分45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 Notice of the School “War and Peace” Themed Cultural Week To help students understand the cruelty of war, cherish the peaceful life now and inherit the peace spirit, our school will hold a “War and Peace” Themed Cultural Week from April 8th to April 12th, 2026.

But creativity, the human touch — these will only become precious as technology advances.(“人工制作的将成为新的奢侈品，”他说，“机器擅长重复、无聊的任务。但是创造力，人的巧思——随着技术的进步，这些只会变得更加珍贵。”)”可知，从Tyler Florence的话中可以推断出人类创造力将具有极高的价值。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“But at CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) 2026, industry experts painted a different prospect. The future isn’t arriving with robots looking like us. It’s arriving quietly, invisibly, and it’s already here.(但在2026年国际消费电子展上，行业专家描绘了一个不同的前景。未来不会以和我们长得一样的机器人形式到来。它正在悄悄地、无形地到来，而且已经在这里了。)”以及最后一段中“The vision from CES 2026 is not a kitchen without cooks. It’s a kitchen where invisible intelligence handles the heavy work, and humans are freed to turn ingredients into meals, and meals into memories.(2026年国际消费电子展上的愿景并不是没有厨师的厨房。这是一个厨房，无形的智能处理繁重的工作，人类得以自由地将食材变成食物，将食物变成回忆。)”可知，文章主要介绍了未来厨房中隐藏的人工智能技术及其带来的变革，因此D选项“Hidden AI: The New Face of Future Kitchens(隐藏的人工智能：未来厨房的新面貌)”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 D From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes (通勤). Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 12. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 13. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To compare ants with human drivers. B. To criticize current traffic regulations. C. To explain the math behind traffic jams. D. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 14. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Following strict traffic rules. C. Driving too close to the front. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 15. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on active human intervention. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蚂蚁的团队协作行为对缓解交通拥堵的启示及未来自动驾驶汽车的应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams.(研究表明，当密度达到每车道每英里15辆车时，单个驾驶员的突然刹车会导致持续时间长、范围广的交通堵塞。)”可知，在特定密度下，单个驾驶员的突然刹车会直接导致大面积高速公路交通堵塞。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake.(Katsuhiro Nishinari此前的研究已经表明，觅食的蚂蚁即使在种群密度很高的情况下也能保持平稳移动。最近的一项后续研究发现，它们通常以3到20只为一组旅行，以稳定的速度移动，彼此之间保持适当的间隙，从不试图超车。)”可知，第三段提到最近的后续研究是为了详细说明蚂蚁如何实现平稳移动。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry.(其中关键的一点就是避免tailgating。与前车保持安全距离有助于吸收密集交通中突然刹车产生的冲击波——这是一种优先考虑整体顺畅而非个人匆忙的简单做法。)”可知，与前车保持安全距离可以避免追尾，故tailgating意思是“与前车距离太近”。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits.(正如Katsuhiro Nishinari指出的那样，“与经常独立行动的人类驾驶员不同，未来的自动驾驶汽车可以被设计成共享实时数据并作为一个集成系统运行。”受蚂蚁的启发，这些车辆可以作为一个协作系统来升级交通流量，可能需要更新现有法规以充分实现其优势。)”可知，Katsuhiro Nishinari建议受蚂蚁启发的自动驾驶汽车应采用协作方法。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15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。 I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____16____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine. But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____17____ That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____18____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day. ____19____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____20____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A. But lately, I noticed the disadvantage it carried. B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. Some mornings were more reflective than active. D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone. E. I even finished a chapter before checking the time. F. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. B 19.

A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night. I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off. It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers. I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club — standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event? A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over. 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 hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. They were chatting loudly and seemed to fill every corner of the place. My heart sank even further. I quickly found an empty seat in the back row, trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible. I clutched my bag tightly, constantly glancing around, praying that nothing bad would happen. Every now and then, I peeked at the bikers, wondering what they were doing here. Were they going to cause trouble? The tension in the air was palpable, and I regretted my decision to come alone. When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They had come to support the fundraiser for the local animal shelters. As the documentary unfolded, showing the plight of the abandoned dogs, I saw many of the bikers wiping away tears. They were as moved as I was by the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories. During the intermission, some of them even came over to me, smiling kindly and asking if I was enjoying the film.
