Used wisely, it can be a useful tool; used blindly, it may weaken our ability to think. In my opinion, AI should support our learning instead of replacing our own effort. It can help us collect ideas, polish language and review difficult points, but simply copying AI-generated answers may make us finish tasks quickly without truly understanding anything. To make better use of AI, we should first think independently before turning to it for help. More importantly, we need to check the information it provides with textbooks, teachers or reliable websites, because AI is not always correct. In short, AI can become a helpful learning partner only when we remain active thinkers. 第二节（满分25分） 【参考范文】 I finally told Mrs. Lin’s sister what had happened. My voice shook as I showed her the broken pieces. To my surprise, she did not blame me. Instead, she touched the largest piece gently and said, “My sister would have laughed and asked what we could grow from it.” Tears filled my eyes. Kevin suggested that we keep every piece and turn them into something for the garden. The woman nodded, giving us a small box for the pieces. For the first time that afternoon, I stopped thinking about my art contest and began thinking about how to make the memory whole again. The next morning, I returned to the garden with my paint box. Kevin was already there, holding the pieces like a puzzle. Together we arranged them around a wooden board, painted bright sunflowers between the cracks, and wrote, “For Mrs. Lin, who helped the garden bloom.” When Mrs. Lin’s sister saw it, she smiled with wet eyes and placed fresh seeds beside the sign. On Monday, I submitted a photo of the repaired sign to the art contest. It did not matter whether I won. I had learned that art was not only about making beautiful things, but also about mending what careless hands had broken. 听力原文 Text 1 M: When are we leaving for the restaurant? I need to make a phone call for work to tell them about our project. W: Okay! Don’t talk too long because we can’t be late. (1) Text 2 M: I’m ringing to remind you that I’ll be picking you up tonight. W: What time will you come? M: I’ll leave here at 7:20 p.m. It will take 20 minutes to get to your house. (2) Text 3 M: I love my new soup-making machine. It’s so convenient. W: I should give you my bread maker. It’s not difficult to use, but I always forget it’s there. I’m sure you’d use it. (3) Text 4 W: I know these snacks are expensive, but they taste so good! Are you sure you don’t want any? M: No. They have “palm (棕榈树) oil” in them. I don’t want my snack to destroy the rainforest. (4) Text 5 W: Did you see this article in the newspaper? M: I don’t read articles very much. I learn most things in school. W: You know, it’d be very beneficial for you to keep up with global affairs. (5) Text 6 (第7题为推断题) W: Billy, you don’t look well. What’s the matter? M: My head aches. W: Let me see. You’ve got a fever and you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor. (6) M: Oh, no. We have a football match with Class 2 this afternoon. W: Playing football isn’t a good idea for a boy with a fever. I’ll call your teacher and ask for leave for you. (7) M: Please let me go. I’m the leader of our football team. W: Okay. But take this medicine first and you might feel better then. Text 7 M: I’m just on the phone, waiting to cancel all my credit cards. (8) W: Well, you can hang up because I’ve just had a call from the police. (8) They’ve found your wallet. (9) M: What a relief! W: A shop assistant found it at the store. (9) M: What? Oh, how embarrassing! I looked for it in my house for an hour. W: It’s so funny. M: I spent ages trying to read the contents on ice cream boxes. The writing on them is so small! My wallet must have dropped inside while I was looking. W: Your eyesight is getting worse and worse! M: Maybe. But first, I’m going to get my wallet and buy my ice cream! (10) Text 8 (第11题为总结题) W: That was a great performance! Well done, Matthew. I’d love to have you play Romeo, actually. M: Really? The main part? W: Yes. But I understand that you’re very busy at the moment, is that right? M: Yes, unfortunately. I’m hoping to get into a top-level college, so I’m having additional lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. W: I understand. That would make it difficult. M: But I do really want to take part! (12) My parents might say I should accept the role because it’ll look good on my application. But really…well, I just love acting. I’ll play any role! (12) W: Well, let’s think about Tybalt and Mercutio, which are dead by Act3, Scene 1. So, we wouldn’t need you all the time! M: That sounds great. W: Both have lots to do, but they’ re quite different characters. Tybalt is full of pride and anger. Mercutio, meanwhile, offers a lot of comic relief, as well as drama.

(14) M: So, what’s your current address? W: No. 6 Trafford Street. M: Got it. If you get the job, they’ll inform you by letter. W: Letter? Wow! The only person who still writes me letters is my grandma. M: It’s old-fashioned. But I guess if the bosses here were good with technology, they wouldn’t need to hire us students to run the library’s computer system! (15) W: True! Have you worked here long? M: I started in my second year. My degree is a four-year “sandwich course” (工读交替制课程). I spent my third year working at a tech company in Cambridge. Now I’m back for one more year. (16) Text 10 I’ll never forget the day I first set foot in London. I had come from a quiet little town in Switzerland and I had never lived in a big city before. (17) So London was a new world to me and I was eager to find out more about it. The general opinion abroad is that London has fog or rain, or both, every day of the year. However, on the day I arrived, it was fine and warm. There was bright sunshine and a cloudless sky. (18) “Life is good,” I thought, as I took Anthony, my little brother, for a walk in Kensington Gardens. (19) (20) It was a straight road and I easily found my way. When I got my first sight of the gardens, their beauty nearly took my breath away. (19) The trees were just putting out leaves, fresh, green and lovely, and there were beds of flowers, red, yellow and blue, in the beautiful green grass under the trees. (20) People were very happy, enjoying the beauty of the scenery. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长沙市第十五中学2026届高三英语第三次模拟考试 英语试卷 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B After graduating from college, I finally got up the nerve to quit trying to be what everyone else wanted me to be: priest, professor, or professional. My brain preferred working with my hands to writing essays. My father had done some woodworking once, so I went back to that old house of ours, and into the shed behind it, and gathered up some of his tools. I didn’t know yet what they did, but one of them I figured out quickly. It was a mallet (木槌), made of a shaped piece of wood for a handle and a rolled-up piece of thick leather for the head. The mallet wasn’t too heavy, but it could make a sharp chisel (凿子) move grandly through a piece of wood. The handle had a light touch of red and brown paint, as if brushed by an artist, which gave the tool a special charm. My new mallet! I began on my own and with some books to teach myself the craft. I learned that this was the long, slow method. I spent my learning time in a basement, away from the curious eyes of the world. The wood I used schooled me about grain, the direction of fibers which affects the way wood splits and carves; the machines I bought educated me about accuracy and danger which affect cutting and shaping. The hand tools of my father’s, and those few I could afford, taught me the value of sharpening. But making joints go together precisely showed me only frustration. I don’t remember the piece I worked on that depressing day, but it finally got the better of me, for not agreeing with my demands for it to be perfect. I took that mallet of my father’s and slammed it into my bench as hard as I could. Come over sometime and I’ll show you the mark in my bench. Now I am a woodworker who has been designing and building furniture for fifty years. I also founded the Northwest Woodworking Studio, where I serve as the director and primary instructor. 24. What was the author’s attitude toward others’ expectations after college? A. He considered them ill-suited to his nature. B. He admired them but lacked the ability. C. He found them unworthy of his effort. D. He felt encouraged but finally gave in. 25. Why did the author think the mallet attractive? A. Its shape added to its practical value. B. Its leather head made it easier to use. C. Its handle looked like a work of art. D. Its weight was perfectly balanced. 26. What does” grain” most probably mean in paragraph 3? A. The natural lines in wood. B. The smooth surface of wood. C. The growth rings in wood. D. The different types of wood. 27. Which saying best reflects the last paragraph? A. Many hands make light work. B. The path to glory is always rough. C. One tree doesn’t make a forest. D. A good beginning makes a good ending. C Chinese scientists have developed a digital twin greenhouse system aimed at reducing time and resource consumption during tomato harvesting, offering new insights into the intelligent transformation of large-scale precision agriculture. Chai Xiujuan, chief scientist of the machine vision and agricultural robot innovation team, said the research addresses key challenges in automated tomato harvesting in greenhouses, including limited camera views, fruit occlusion (遮挡) and complex fruiting patterns. “Efficient and low-damage harvesting was a major challenge in modern greenhouse tomato production, particularly in dense planting environments,” Chai said. “Our study presents a digital twin-driven system for intelligent tomato harvesting.” Using a slidable depth camera mounted on the harvesting robot, the team reconstructed a high-fidelity 3D digital twin of the greenhouse that accurately captures the spatial distribution and growth states of tomatoes. Based on this virtual environment, the researchers developed a learning-based framework to design better harvesting strategies, including robot positioning, fruit selection priority and adaptive operation modes. Experimental results showed that the method significantly improved harvesting performance, reducing average picking time by nearly 35 percent to 7.4 seconds per fruit, while collision (碰撞) occurrences dropped by 45 percent. “Traditionally, a depth camera is fixed on the robotic arm to capture the picking view and make harvesting decisions,” Lang Yining, a team member, said. “However, such decisions are usually based only on the local field of view from the current camera position, which may contain just a few tomatoes. In our approach, a depth camera mounted on a sliding rail scans dynamically to reconstruct the overall structure of the greenhouse plants. This creates a digital twin of the entire tomato-growing environment and gives the picking decision algorithm (算法) a much broader scope.” Next, the team plans to further explore the use of digital twin technology to simulate (模拟) the growth and harvesting environments of more crop varieties, enabling low-cost and high-efficiency training and evaluation of harvesting decision algorithms. 28. What is the digital twin greenhouse system intended to do? A. Change the way tomatoes grow. B. Improve the efficiency of tomato harvesting. C. Increase the output of tomatoes in greenhouses. D. Reduce the space tomatoes take up in greenhouses. 29. What does Chai mainly talk about in paragraph 2? A. The problems the new system manages to solve. B. The future plan for intelligent tomato production. C. The wide use of robots in tomato planting. D. The significance of popularizing precision agriculture. 30. What can we infer about the slidable depth camera? A. It can identify diseased plants precisely. B. It helps build a virtual model of the greenhouse. C. It works better than traditional cameras in poor light. D. It collects information about specific tomato plants faster. 31. What is an advantage of the new approach? A. It provides a wider view for decision-making. B. It costs much less to develop and operate. C. It speeds up the growth of tomato plants. D. It saves humans from harvesting labor. D “Have you raised a lobster (龙虾) yet?” This question has been heard frequently across China recently. “Lobster” is the nickname for OpenClaw, a multi-purpose AI agent whose logo resembles a lobster. Unlike traditional chatbots that only provide answers, OpenClaw can open applications, search for information, compare prices, generate documents and complete multi-step tasks with minimal supervision. Thousands have lined up to try it, and tech giants are rushing to offer setup services. However, these powerful digital assistants are turning on their owners, raising urgent concerns about AI safety. The core problem of “OpenClaw” lies in a dangerous capability mismatch. According to researchers from Harvard and Stanford, today’s AI agents possess Level 4 autonomy, meaning they can independently complete complex, multi-step tasks. Yet their security judgment remains at basic Level 2, roughly equal to a young kid’s understanding of consequences. Security experts call this the “judgment-action gap,” which results in the “fatal trifecta (三连击)”: agents have system access, process untrusted inputs, and steal or leak data — all without proper boundaries. To investigate these risks, researchers conducted controlled experiments with six OpenClaw instances, each given email access and maximum system permissions. The results were alarming. In one experiment, an agent asked to delete a single email instead reset the entire account. In another, a simple display name change tricked an agent into deleting its own core files. Perhaps the most disturbing was a “constitution attack,” where hidden instructions secretly placed into a behavior guide caused the agent to disable other systems without question. These are not hypothetical — real-world incidents have already occurred. The implications are obvious and pressing. As cybersecurity experts warn, OpenClaw’s “blurred trust boundaries” and autonomous system access create unacceptable risks for average users. The technology itself is neither good nor bad — it can reduce stress and spark creativity when used properly. And experts recommend strict safety measures: limit permissions, run agents in separate environments, require human confirmation for destructive actions, and maintain inaccessible backups. Ultimately, with balanced usage and fundamental safety redesign, the “lobster-raising” trend can become a safe and meaningful part of modern life. 32. What does the underlined phrase “turning on” most probably mean? A. Keeping off. B. Appealing to. C. Going against. D. Caring for. 33. According to Paragraph 2, there is a mismatch between ______. A. high requirement and low capability B. massive data and limited storage space C. strong autonomy and low safety assessment D. full system function and poor human supervision 34. What was the most worrying finding about OpenClaw? A. Hiding its own behavior instructions secretly. B. Shutting down other systems unquestioningly. C. Deleting its own core files on purpose. D. Resetting the whole account by mistake. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. How to Make Full Use of AI Tools B. Why AI Technology Is Completely Unsafe C. AI Agents Will Replace Humans in the Future D. Hidden Dangers of the Popular AI Agent OpenClaw 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There may be times when you may feel that enveloping your message in a generous coat of “nice” will make communication with others better. 36 Sugarcoating (美化粉饰) your words — whatever your reasons are — not only does not push meaningful relationships forward but may actually endanger otherwise healthy interactions. While, at best, sugarcoating can be an attempt at kindness, at worst, it could be viewed as a form of manipulation — trying to communicate in a way that controls the other person’s experience, instead of allowing them to have their own real reaction. 37 “For many, this pattern began in childhood,” says psychologist Carolyn Hextall. “Love may have felt conditional, and an unconscious decision was made that being pleasing, agreeable, or undemanding was the safest route to acceptance and connection.” 38 You might notice that you would rather validate others, stay quiet or soften your truth because you fear the consequence of voicing your own thoughts. Opposed to sugarcoating, saltcoating goes in the opposite direction. 39 But often, it crosses the line from being honest to being rude. People who use saltcoating often ignore others’ feelings, speaking their minds without any consideration, which easily leads to misunderstandings and conflicts. To avoid these, Carolyn suggests stopping using global, absolute statements such as “you always” or “you never”. 40 Instead, be specific in your feedback, and use “I” statements, which clearly communicate your experience without assigning any blame. For example, you might say: “When you said you’d meet me and then canceled, I felt upset and hurt.” This centers your emotional experience, and helps the other person understand the impact of their behavior. A. Yet in fact, the opposite is preferred. B. These tend to cause defensiveness very quickly. C. It can be presented as being straight and direct. D. Often, sugarcoating is deeply rooted in people. E. In adulthood, this early adaptation can continue to play out. F. But a nice wrapper does not necessarily make a gift better. G. These two approaches are two extremes that are better off avoided. 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。 Last summer, my family moved from a busy city neighborhood to a small house on the edge of a forest. At first, I was 41 . I missed the noise of traffic, the corner store, and the friends who lived just a few blocks away. The quiet of the forest felt 42 — not peaceful, but heavy and strange. A week after we arrived, my father suggested we 43 the old hiking trail behind our house. I had no interest, but my younger sister begged me to come. So one Saturday morning, I followed them 44 into the trees. The trail was narrow and overgrown, and for the first half hour I was 45 by mosquitoes and thinking about my phone, which had no signal. Then we turned a corner, and the forest suddenly 46 into a wide, sunlit clearing. In the center stood the remains of a stone cottage, its roof long 47 but its walls still standing. Wildflowers had pushed up through the floor. “People lived here once,” my father said 48 . I found myself thinking about the family who had built that cottage. Who were they? Why did they choose this place, so far from any road or town? I started returning to the clearing on my own, 49 questions in a notebook. I looked up local history at the library. I learned that the cottage had belonged to a farmer in the late 1800s. His family had cleared the land and planted an orchard. A few old apple trees still 50 fruit each autumn. By the end of August, my curiosity had 51 a small research project. The librarian helped me contact a local historian, who encouraged me to write an article for the town newsletter. When it was 52 , I felt something I had never felt in the city: a sense that I was 53 to a place — not just living on top of it. Now when I walk through the forest, the quiet no longer feels heavy. It feels like it is full of 54 waiting to be discovered. My mother says I have 55 more in one summer than in all my years in the city. I think she is right. 41. A. curious B. miserable C. calm D. indifferent 42. A. relaxing B. refreshing C. oppressive D. welcoming 43. A. explore B. clear C. destroy D. photograph 44.

The teacher said it was part of our service-learning project. I tried to look interested, but my mind was on the city art contest. The final work was due on Monday, and I had planned to spend the whole afternoon improving my painting. I was paired with Kevin, a quiet boy who always carried a notebook. Our job was to clean a corner of the garden and plant young sunflowers. Near the tool shed stood a blue clay pot with the words “For Mrs. Lin” painted on it. The pot was empty except for dry leaves, and I thought it was just another old thing left outside. Wanting to finish quickly, I pulled at a heavy bag of soil. It caught the edge of the clay pot. Before I could stop it, the pot fell and broke into several pieces. Kevin froze. “That was made by Mr. Lin,” he said in a low voice. “He gave it to the garden after his wife died. She loved sunflowers.” My face burned. I looked around. No one else seemed to have noticed. For a moment I imagined hiding the pieces under the soil and pretending nothing had happened. After all, the pot had been empty. But Kevin kept looking at the broken pieces as if they were not clay but someone’s memory. Just then an elderly woman walked slowly toward us with a watering can. Kevin whispered, “That’s Mrs. Lin’s sister. She comes every Friday.” My heart beat fast. I wanted to run back to the bus, to my painting, to anywhere but that corner of the garden. The woman smiled kindly and asked whether we needed more sunflower seeds. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I finally told Mrs. Lin’s sister what had happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, I returned to the garden with my paint box. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
