B Every time AI drafts an e-mail or generates an image, the planet bears extra environmental costs. Creating two AI-generated images consumes almost as much energy as fully charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could use as much electricity annually as the whole of the Netherlands. Meanwhile, a new study points out another hidden risk: general AI applications alone could add 1.2 to 5 million tons of harmful electronic waste worldwide by 2030． Such massive waste will add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic waste that the world abandons every year. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞) lead (铅) and other poisonous chemical substances. When improperly disposed of, these heavy metals can seriously pollute air, water and farmland soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste ended up in landfills or unofficial recycling sites, where workers risk their health to recycle and extract rare metals from discarded electronics. The rapid boom of the AI industry has greatly increased demand for high-performance data storage devices and core electronic components. Once new upgraded versions are launched, the old ones are usually directly discarded and replaced. To accurately calculate the e-waste produced by the AI industry, researchers comprehensively studied hardware service life, daily energy consumption and the annual growth rate of the global AI industry. Their final prediction is a reasonable estimate, which may vary with economic and technological factors. This study’s greatest practical value lies in its in-depth analysis of AI’s wide negative impacts on the environment, says Shaochi Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might expect AI companies to slow down their blind expansion,” he suggests seriously. Few countries have clear laws to force standardized disposal of e-waste. Even places with relevant rules often fail to carry out the laws strictly in practice. Twenty-five U.S. states have independent e-waste management policies, yet there is no unified federal law forcing major electronics firms to carry out classified recycling. Thankfully, several leading tech companies say they are taking practical action on their own. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have many feasible ways to control rising e-waste. For example, server service life can be prolonged through regular professional maintenance and system updates, or outdated devices can be reassigned to low-intensity daily office tasks. Researchers agree that these targeted measures are vital to reducing e-waste pollution and protecting the global ecosystem. 24．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A．The Netherlands consumes too much electricity. B．The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages. C．AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making. D．The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive. 25．What is Shaochi Ren’s attitude toward the rapid growth of AI companies? A．Indifferent. B．Cautious. C．Positive. D．Ambiguous. 26．What is the core key to reducing AI-related e-waste? A．Adjusting AI application frequency in daily work. B．Prioritizing waste household smartphone recycling. C．Banning the overuse of intelligent AI completely. D．Adopting effective device-lifespan-extending measures. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．AI May Worsen the Global E-waste Crisis. B．E-waste Calls for Standardized Proper Use of AI. C．E-waste Problems Mostly Blamed on Modern AI Technology. D．AI Development and E-waste Pollution Always Go Hand in Hand. C Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for over a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épée fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabre fencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat”. This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes. 28．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity” in paragraph 2? A．Equality. B．Innocence. C．Rarity. D．Imbalance. 29．What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish between? A．Different athletes’ tricks. B．Two sources of advantage. C．Top players’ performance. D．The impacts of unfamiliarity. 30．What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply? A．Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. B．A higher proportion of athletic left-handers. C．The variations among different fencing events. D．Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. 31．According to Dr. Simon, what accounts for lefties’ sport-specific excellence? A．Their unique brain structure. B．Their superior technical skills. C．Their swifter brain processing. D．Their special movement patterns. D When mass commercialism and art mix, artistic integrity often suffers. I acknowledge artists need enough money to live on. Nevertheless, I don’t think art should be about trying to make as much money as humanly possible, and I can’t imagine ever being convinced otherwise. Visual arts have often been a place for artists who stay true to their art to express themselves. Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime and is now considered one of the best artists ever to have lived. Although his lack of commercial success was a source of suffering during his lifetime, it was probably also a cause of his uniqueness. Van Gogh did not have artistic agents giving him market feedback, and he didn’t bend to market demands in order to sell it. The danger of pieces of art being sold for unreasonable amounts of money is that artists turn their works into brands. When art accumulates (积聚) that much commercial value, it starts being seen in the same way as a really flashy car that is too expensive to risk driving. A piece of art gets bought by a millionaire, and to accumulate value and minimize the risk of damage, he keeps it in his private museum. Ultimately, few people get the chance to appreciate it, especially since art museums can’t keep up with rising art prices. Even galleries as big as Tate Britain only have acquisition budgets of £5 million, and with the upcoming government’ s cuts to the arts, this purchasing power will decrease continuously. There’s a reason why Mark Rothko turned down the commission (委托制作) from the Four Seasons Restaurant. Rothko recognized how damaging the idea of making art purely for a paycheck is. He did not want his paintings to be merely used as decorative items in a luxurious restaurant, but hoped that they could be placed in a more suitable place where people could truly feel the spiritual power of his works. 32．How does the author find the commercialization of art? A．Profitable. B．Destructive. C．Unavoidable. D．Productive. 33．What does the author intend to do by mentioning Van Gogh? A．Present a story. B．Explain a viewpoint. C．Criticize a trend. D．Introduce an artist. 34．What consequence does high-priced art bring? A．It degrades the quality of art. B．It facilitates massive copying. C．It boosts art galleries’ budget. D．It restricts public enjoyment. 35．Which of the following would Mark Rothko agree on? A．Art ought to maintain its purity. B．Art may exist in every little corner. C．Artworks often goes unrecognized. D．Artworks are no more than decorations. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Have you ever experienced such moments: a warm smile from a stranger, a brief chat with someone waiting in line, or a simple wave to a neighbor you hardly know? These tiny interactions among strangers and familiar faces alike are called “microconnections”. 36 Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness. When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. 37 They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation. Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to novel ideas. 38 Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and original idea exchanges. 39 They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community. In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. 40 A．They tend to slip our attention. B．Microconnections are also two-way streets. C．People are eager for connection with others. D．Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals. E．Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world. F．Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences. G．So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you. 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Though each of the 53 men on Rochester’s track and field team has had standout moments during the indoor season, only one broke the school record twice and set a personal record five times: junior Ethan Beer.

Mrs Finch, our retired nurse neighbor, would spend her time in her garage-turned-classroom every Saturday morning. “Helping others is a skill everyone should have,” she’d say warmly. This free workshop was her way of giving back, and she ran it with quiet passion. I practiced pushing down on the plastic model, while Liam learned how to give clear directions to 911 operators. She believed that preparation could turn anyone into a lifesaver — even two teenagers like us. She often reminded us that emergencies didn’t check our age or experience. “They can happen to anyone and anywhere — yes, even to an old nurse like me,” she’d smile, pointing to the park during our ride home. Liam and I nodded, but deep down, we thought we were learning to help strangers someday, not someone we knew well. That “someday” came much sooner than expected. One Saturday, right after class ended, Mrs Finch was putting away the training device when she suddenly went quiet. Her face lost all color. The coffee cup she was holding dropped on the concrete floor. She leaned against the wall, one hand pressed tightly against her chest. “Boys...” she managed to whisper, before slowly sliding down to the floor. For a moment, Liam and I just stood there, frozen in shock. Our teacher — the one who taught us how to save lives — was now lying helpless on the ground. Suddenly, I remembered her mentioning that she had a heart condition. Her words rushed back to me: “When someone collapses, do not panic, but act immediately.” I saw Liam’s eyes widen with the same realization. We looked at each other, knowing what we had to do. The most important lesson was about to begin — not on the plastic model, but on our teacher herself. 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。 Liam and I did exactly what Mrs Finch had taught us. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs Finch was placed in the ambulance, and we followed to the hospital. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 4 / 21 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 暑假收心卷02 英 语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 考生注意： 1．答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 3．难度系数：0.75。 4．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，听力部分答题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答案转涂到答题上。 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．What does the man probably want the woman to do?

How is it going with the new sports range? W: Hi, Steve. Not bad at all. M: The idea of “sports at night” is such an absolutely original one. Can you tell me more about it? W: Well, in many big cities, it’s almost impossible for people to go jogging during the day. Everyone’s very busy. Anyway, one night in bed, I had this idea for a new type of sports clothing. M: So you developed this range called “Night Jogging”. W: That’s right, and it appeals to men and women of all ages. The clothes are made from brightly colored material and have highly reflective stickers, making joggers easily visible in the dark to ensure their safety. M: Was it difficult to promote? W: It was practically impossible to attract interest at the beginning. But then we won the support of a local sports star. Since then, it’s been absolutely amazing. M: What are your plans for the future? W: We would like to launch our range in China next year. And maybe in other countries after that. M: Well, we wish you the best of luck. 听第10段材料，回答第18至20题。 18．What is the main activity of the workshop? A．Cleaning the science lab after class. B．Doing cooking-related experiments.

A．Top science students. B．Curious beginners. C．Responsible parents. 【答案】18．B 19．A 20．B 【原文】Hello, everyone! I want to tell you about something cool I just found out. You know how chemistry class can feel a bit… abstract sometimes? Well, Mr. Davis is starting a new workshop next term called “Chemistry in the Kitchen”. The whole idea is to learn real science by doing everyday things, like baking or cooking. Basically, we get to do interesting experiments. If your experiment works, you get to eat it. It’s perfect for anyone who’s curious, and you definitely don’t need to be excellent in science. It’s aimed at beginners. Just be prepared for some mess — it comes with experimenting in the kitchen, but it’s worth it! The workshop will meet every Thursday after school, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., starting on September 10th. I’m really thinking about signing up. It sounds like a much more delicious way to learn than just reading a textbook. So, if you’re interested in food, science, or just want to try something new, maybe check it out with me. We could go together. Anyway, that’s my little announcement. Let me know if you want to join too! 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Andretta Pool, located next to Dietz Stadium in uptown Kingston, offers lap swimming, swim lessons, and other water activities throughout the summer months.

(Andretta Pool对Kingston市居民免费开放。)”可知，Andretta Pool对Kingston市民免费开放，所以，对当地人的好处是游泳池不收费的。故选B项。 22．细节理解题。根据表格中的“SUN(12 pm-5:45 pm Open Swim)；WED(12:30 pm-5:45 pm Open Swim)；THU(12:30 pm-5:45 pm Open Swim)；FRI(12:30 pm-6:45 pm Open Swim)以及SAT(12 pm-6:45 pm Open Swim). (周日(中午12:00 -下午5:45开放游泳)；周三(中午12:30-下午5:45开放游泳)；周四(中午12:30 -下午5:45开放游泳)；FRI(中午12:30-下午6:45开放游泳)以及SAT(中午12:00 -下午6:45开放游泳)。)”可知，在一周之中，开放游泳（Open Swim）的时间时长最长的是周六。故选D项。 23．细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分中的“All participants must register &obtain a pool user card.(所有参加者必须注册并领取泳池使用卡。)”可知，游泳的必须有会员卡；根据“Every swimmer must wear a proper bathing suit — no other clothing is permitted to be worn in the pool for swimming.(每位游泳者必须穿合适的泳衣，不允许穿著其他衣服在泳池游泳。)”可知，游泳这必须穿合适的泳衣，对服装有要求；根据“All youth,13 years old and younger, must be accompanied by an adult (18 yrs old or older) at all times.(所有13岁及以下的青少年必须由18岁或以上的成年人陪同。)”可知，13岁及以下的孩子必须由18岁及以上的成年人陪同，所以对年龄有要求，综合以上信息，如果你在Andretta Pool游泳，对性别没有要求。故选D项。 B Every time AI drafts an e-mail or generates an image, the planet bears extra environmental costs. Creating two AI-generated images consumes almost as much energy as fully charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could use as much electricity annually as the whole of the Netherlands. Meanwhile, a new study points out another hidden risk: general AI applications alone could add 1.2 to 5 million tons of harmful electronic waste worldwide by 2030． Such massive waste will add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic waste that the world abandons every year. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞) lead (铅) and other poisonous chemical substances. When improperly disposed of, these heavy metals can seriously pollute air, water and farmland soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste ended up in landfills or unofficial recycling sites, where workers risk their health to recycle and extract rare metals from discarded electronics. The rapid boom of the AI industry has greatly increased demand for high-performance data storage devices and core electronic components. Once new upgraded versions are launched, the old ones are usually directly discarded and replaced. To accurately calculate the e-waste produced by the AI industry, researchers comprehensively studied hardware service life, daily energy consumption and the annual growth rate of the global AI industry. Their final prediction is a reasonable estimate, which may vary with economic and technological factors. This study’s greatest practical value lies in its in-depth analysis of AI’s wide negative impacts on the environment, says Shaochi Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might expect AI companies to slow down their blind expansion,” he suggests seriously. Few countries have clear laws to force standardized disposal of e-waste. Even places with relevant rules often fail to carry out the laws strictly in practice. Twenty-five U.S. states have independent e-waste management policies, yet there is no unified federal law forcing major electronics firms to carry out classified recycling. Thankfully, several leading tech companies say they are taking practical action on their own. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have many feasible ways to control rising e-waste. For example, server service life can be prolonged through regular professional maintenance and system updates, or outdated devices can be reassigned to low-intensity daily office tasks. Researchers agree that these targeted measures are vital to reducing e-waste pollution and protecting the global ecosystem. 24．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A．The Netherlands consumes too much electricity. B．The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages. C．AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making. D．The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive. 25．What is Shaochi Ren’s attitude toward the rapid growth of AI companies? A．Indifferent. B．Cautious. C．Positive. D．Ambiguous. 26．What is the core key to reducing AI-related e-waste? A．Adjusting AI application frequency in daily work. B．Prioritizing waste household smartphone recycling. C．Banning the overuse of intelligent AI completely. D．Adopting effective device-lifespan-extending measures. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．AI May Worsen the Global E-waste Crisis. B．E-waste Calls for Standardized Proper Use of AI. C．E-waste Problems Mostly Blamed on Modern AI Technology. D．AI Development and E-waste Pollution Always Go Hand in Hand. 【答案】24．D 25．B 26．D 27．A 【导语】人工智能发展消耗大量能源，还会催生海量有害电子垃圾，污染生态环境。目前相关法规不完善，科技企业正采取举措延长设备寿命，以此缓解该危机。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Every time AI drafts an e-mail or generates an image, the planet bears extra environmental costs. Creating two AI-generated images consumes almost as much energy as fully charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could use as much electricity annually as the whole of the Netherlands. Meanwhile, a new study points out another hidden risk: general AI applications alone could add 1.2 to 5 million tons of harmful electronic waste worldwide by 2030.(每次人工智能起草一封电子邮件或生成一幅图像，地球都会产生额外的环境成本。生成两张人工智能生成的图像所消耗的能源几乎与给一部智能手机充满电所需的电量相当。到2027年，全球人工智能行业每年消耗的电力可能与整个荷兰的用电量相当。与此同时，一项新的研究指出另一个潜在风险：仅通用的人工智能应用到2030年就可能在全球范围内产生120万至500万吨有害电子废弃物)”可知，人工智能对环境的影响广泛且令人担忧，其环境足迹非常大。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段“This study’s greatest practical value lies in its in-depth analysis of AI’s wide negative impacts on the environment, says Shaochi Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might expect AI companies to slow down their blind expansion,” he suggests seriously.(加州大学河滨分校的研究员任绍奇表示，这项研究的最大实际价值在于其对人工智能对环境造成广泛负面影响的深入分析。“我们或许可以期待人工智能公司能够放缓其盲目扩张的步伐。”他严肃地说道)”可知，任绍奇认为人工智能对环境有广泛影响，希望人工智能公司放慢发展速度，他对人工智能公司的发展持谨慎态度。 26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thankfully, several leading tech companies say they are taking practical action on their own. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have many feasible ways to control rising e-waste. For example, server service life can be prolonged through regular professional maintenance and system updates, or outdated devices can be reassigned to low-intensity daily office tasks. Researchers agree that these targeted measures are vital to reducing e-waste pollution and protecting the global ecosystem.(值得庆幸的是，一些领先的科技公司表示他们正在自行采取实际行动。微软和谷歌分别承诺到2030年实现零废弃物和零排放。他们有许多可行的方法来控制不断增长的电子垃圾。例如，通过定期的专业维护和系统更新可以延长服务器的使用寿命，或者将过时的设备重新分配到低强度的日常办公任务中。研究人员一致认为，这些有针对性的措施对于减少电子垃圾污染和保护全球生态系统至关重要)”可知，通过对服务器进行定期维护、更新或把旧设备用于低强度应用等延长设备寿命的措施对减少电子垃圾至关重要。 27．主旨大意题。根据首段“Meanwhile, a new study points out another hidden risk: general AI applications alone could add 1.2 to 5 million tons of harmful electronic waste worldwide by 2030.(与此同时，一项新的研究指出另一个潜在风险：仅通用的人工智能应用到2030年就可能在全球范围内产生120万至500万吨有害电子废弃物)”可知，人工智能对环境的影响广泛且令人担忧，结合下文介绍的人工智能产生的电子垃圾对环境带来的影响以及人类对此采取的措施可知，文章主要讲述了人工智能在能耗和电子垃圾方面对环境产生的影响，人工智能会消耗大量电力，产生大量电子垃圾，所以“人工智能可能会加剧电子垃圾危机”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。 C Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for over a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épée fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabre fencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat”. This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes. 28．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity” in paragraph 2? A．Equality. B．Innocence. C．Rarity. D．Imbalance. 29．What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish between? A．Different athletes’ tricks. B．Two sources of advantage. C．Top players’ performance. D．The impacts of unfamiliarity. 30．What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply? A．Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. B．A higher proportion of athletic left-handers. C．The variations among different fencing events. D．Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. 31．According to Dr. Simon, what accounts for lefties’ sport-specific excellence? A．Their unique brain structure. B．Their superior technical skills. C．Their swifter brain processing. D．Their special movement patterns. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．D 31．C 【导语】文章主要说明了左撇子在部分单人对抗运动中占比更高，研究证实其优势并非只源于陌生感，而是大脑信息处理更快，微小脑部差异能决定顶级赛事胜负。 【详解】28．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers.(左撇子仅占人口的约十分之一，他们在这样一个为右撇子设计的世界里常常会遭遇诸多困难)”可知，左撇子仅占人口十分之一，数量少，很稀有，故划线词意思是“稀有”。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for more than a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase.(为了验证自己的这一观点，西蒙博士对顶尖运动员在羽毛球、乒乓球、网球以及三种击剑项目中的表现进行了长达十多年的研究。他推断，如果这种优势仅仅是由于不熟悉所致，那么在最高水平的比赛中这种优势就会减弱，因为在那里，选手们会识破左撇子的招数。然而，如果这是一种与生俱来的因素，那么这种优势实际上可能会进一步增强)”可知，西蒙的实验旨在区分两种不同的优势来源。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段“His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male épée fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect.(他的研究揭示了一个有趣的规律。在花剑、重剑以及乒乓球项目中，顶尖选手中左撇子的占比明显更高。例如，男子重剑前两百名选手中左撇子占18%，男子花剑前两百名中占23%；而仅统计前一百名时，这一比例分别升至28%和31%。但其余三项运动并未出现这一现象)”可知，第三段中的这些数字意味着左撇子在某些顶级运动项目中具有优势。 31．细节理解题。根据第四段“He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épéé fencing.(他认为他们的大脑在处理视觉、空间以及时间信息方面尤为出色，并且能够迅速做出反应，这对于诸如花剑和重剑击剑这类需要快速反应的运动来说至关重要)”可知，据西蒙博士所说，导致左撇子在特定运动项目中表现出色的原因是他们的大脑处理信息的速度更快。 D When mass commercialism and art mix, artistic integrity often suffers. I acknowledge artists need enough money to live on. Nevertheless, I don’t think art should be about trying to make as much money as humanly possible, and I can’t imagine ever being convinced otherwise. Visual arts have often been a place for artists who stay true to their art to express themselves. Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime and is now considered one of the best artists ever to have lived. Although his lack of commercial success was a source of suffering during his lifetime, it was probably also a cause of his uniqueness. Van Gogh did not have artistic agents giving him market feedback, and he didn’t bend to market demands in order to sell it. The danger of pieces of art being sold for unreasonable amounts of money is that artists turn their works into brands. When art accumulates (积聚) that much commercial value, it starts being seen in the same way as a really flashy car that is too expensive to risk driving. A piece of art gets bought by a millionaire, and to accumulate value and minimize the risk of damage, he keeps it in his private museum. Ultimately, few people get the chance to appreciate it, especially since art museums can’t keep up with rising art prices. Even galleries as big as Tate Britain only have acquisition budgets of £5 million, and with the upcoming government’ s cuts to the arts, this purchasing power will decrease continuously. There’s a reason why Mark Rothko turned down the commission (委托制作) from the Four Seasons Restaurant. Rothko recognized how damaging the idea of making art purely for a paycheck is. He did not want his paintings to be merely used as decorative items in a luxurious restaurant, but hoped that they could be placed in a more suitable place where people could truly feel the spiritual power of his works. 32．How does the author find the commercialization of art? A．Profitable. B．Destructive. C．Unavoidable. D．Productive. 33．What does the author intend to do by mentioning Van Gogh? A．Present a story. B．Explain a viewpoint. C．Criticize a trend. D．Introduce an artist. 34．What consequence does high-priced art bring? A．It degrades the quality of art. B．It facilitates massive copying. C．It boosts art galleries’ budget. D．It restricts public enjoyment. 35．Which of the following would Mark Rothko agree on? A．Art ought to maintain its purity. B．Art may exist in every little corner. C．Artworks often goes unrecognized. D．Artworks are no more than decorations. 【答案】32．B 33．B 34．D 35．A 【导语】文章主要探讨了艺术商业化对艺术完整性的破坏及相关案例和影响。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When mass commercialism and art mix, artistic integrity often suffers. (当大规模的商业主义与艺术混合在一起时，艺术的完整性往往会受到损害)”可知，作者认为艺术商业化具有破坏性。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime and is now considered one of the best artists ever to have lived. Although his lack of commercial success was a source of suffering during his lifetime, it was probably also a cause of his uniqueness. Van Gogh did not have artistic agents giving him market feedback, and he didn’t bend to market demands in order to sell it. (梵高一生只卖出过一幅画，现在却被认为是有史以来最伟大的艺术家之一。尽管他在生前缺乏商业上的成功是痛苦的根源，但这也可能是他独特性的原因之一。梵高没有艺术经纪人向他提供市场反馈，他也没有为了销售而屈从于市场需求)”可知，作者提及梵高是为了说明不迎合市场需求能保持艺术的独特性，以此解释自己关于艺术不应过度商业化的观点。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A piece of art gets bought by a millionaire, and to accumulate value and minimize the risk of damage, he keeps it in his private museum. Ultimately, few people get the chance to appreciate it, especially since art museums can’t keep up with rising art prices. (一件艺术品被百万富翁买下，为了增值和将损坏风险降到最低，他把它放在自己的私人博物馆里。最终，很少有人有机会欣赏它，尤其是因为艺术博物馆跟不上不断上涨的艺术品价格)”可知，高价艺术品会限制公众对其的欣赏。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Rothko recognized how damaging the idea of making art purely for a paycheck is. He did not want his paintings to be merely used as decorative items in a luxurious restaurant, but hoped that they could be placed in a more suitable place where people could truly feel the spiritual power of his works. (Rothko认识到，纯粹为了薪水而创作艺术的想法是多么有害。他不希望自己的画作仅仅被用作豪华餐厅的装饰品，而是希望它们能被放置在一个更合适的地方，让人们能真正感受到他作品的精神力量)”可推断，Mark Rothko认为艺术应该保持其纯粹性，不应沦为商业工具或装饰。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Have you ever experienced such moments: a warm smile from a stranger, a brief chat with someone waiting in line, or a simple wave to a neighbor you hardly know? These tiny interactions among strangers and familiar faces alike are called “microconnections”. 36 Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness. When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. 37 They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation. Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to novel ideas. 38 Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and original idea exchanges. 39 They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community. In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. 40 A．They tend to slip our attention. B．Microconnections are also two-way streets. C．People are eager for connection with others. D．Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals. E．Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world. F．Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences. G．So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you. 【答案】36．A 37．B 38．F 39．D 40．G 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了何为微人际联结，阐述其能舒缓压力、开阔眼界、凝聚社群等诸多益处，呼吁人们主动送出善意，建立温暖的日常小联结。 【详解】36．空格后出现转折词Yet，表示前后语义相反。后文“Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness.( 但它们的重要性远超我们的认知范围。)”明确指出“它们的重要性远超我们的认知”，因此前文必然是说“我们容易忽视这些微连接”。A选项“They tend to slip our attention.( 它们往往会从我们的注意力中溜走。)”与后文形成完美的转折逻辑，且“slip our attention”与后文“goes far beyond our awareness”构成同义呼应。 37．空格前“When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. (当人们与陌生人建立微小的联系时，他们大脑中的多巴胺水平会升高，而身体中的压力化学物质则会减少。其结果是，人们会感到更加愉悦。)”讲述了微连接对个人的生理和心理益处（增加多巴胺、减少压力、提升幸福感），空格后“They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation.( 它们使双方获得更积极的心态和更大的放松。)”则提到“它们能让双方都获得更积极的心态和更大的放松”。这里的“both parties（双方）”是关键线索，说明微连接的好处是双向的。B选项“Microconnections are also two-way streets(.微连接也是双向道。)”恰好起到了承上启下的作用，从个人受益过渡到双方受益。 38．空格后出现因果连词Thus，表示前文是后文的原因。后文“Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world.( 因此，与他们进行短暂的接触就能带来全新的精神滋养，并拓宽您对世界的看法。)”指出“与他们的短暂接触能带来全新的精神滋养，拓宽你对世界的看法”，那么为什么陌生人能带来新的视角呢？F选项“Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences.( 那些你偶然遇到的人拥有多样的人生经历。)”给出了合理的解释：正是因为经历不同，他们才能提供我们所没有的视角和体验。 39．空格位于第四段段首，是该段的主题句。后文内容“They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community.( 它们建立了公众信任，这反过来又使社会群体更加紧密地联系在一起。正如著名心理学家桑德斯特伦所解释的那样：“这种社区感是我们与陌生人交谈时所获得的重要东西——就是感觉存在着这种共同的人性，感觉他人看到了我们、重视我们。”这种感觉有助于人们认识到自己是这个社区的一部分。)”从个人层面上升到了社会层面，讲述微连接如何建立公共信任、让社区联系更紧密。D选项“Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals.( 短暂的交流影响的不仅仅是两个人。)”准确概括了这一转变，从个人影响过渡到社会影响，统领全段内容。 40．空格位于文章结尾，是对全文的总结和呼吁。前文“In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. (在一个人们常常感到彼此疏远的世界里，这些小小的时刻提醒着我们普通个体之间隐藏的联系。一个微小的联系可能会产生持久的成果。)”已经全面阐述了微连接的多重益处，结尾自然应该发出行动倡议。G选项“So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you.( 所以下次不要犹豫，向你身边的人微笑吧。)”与文章开头提到的“陌生人的温暖微笑”相呼应，是一个自然且有力的结尾。 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Though each of the 53 men on Rochester’s track and field team has had standout moments during the indoor season, only one broke the school record twice and set a personal record five times: junior Ethan Beer.

After evening self-study, I do 5-minute stretches to relax tired muscles. These tiny acts have become my daily routine. The gains are remarkable. Physically, I’m more energetic in classes and rarely get sick. Mentally, short workouts relieve my study stress, helping me focus better. Truly, small consistent moves bring big health benefits. I’ll stick to these habits, as every tiny step leads to a healthier life. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇短文投稿，说明你的具体做法以及收获。 【详解】1.词汇积累 持续的：consistent→continuous 缓解：relieve→ease 压力：stress→pressure 专注：focus→concentrate 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Mentally, short workouts relieve my study stress, helping me focus better. 拓展句：Mentally, short workouts relieve my study stress, which helps me focus better. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mentally, short workouts relieve my study stress, helping me focus better.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】I’ll stick to these habits, as every tiny step leads to a healthier life.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第二节 (满分 25 分) 67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 This summer took an unexpected turn when my friend, Liam, asked me to attend Mrs Finch’s first aid class in the community. Mrs Finch, our retired nurse neighbor, would spend her time in her garage-turned-classroom every Saturday morning. “Helping others is a skill everyone should have,” she’d say warmly. This free workshop was her way of giving back, and she ran it with quiet passion. I practiced pushing down on the plastic model, while Liam learned how to give clear directions to 911 operators. She believed that preparation could turn anyone into a lifesaver — even two teenagers like us. She often reminded us that emergencies didn’t check our age or experience. “They can happen to anyone and anywhere — yes, even to an old nurse like me,” she’d smile, pointing to the park during our ride home. Liam and I nodded, but deep down, we thought we were learning to help strangers someday, not someone we knew well. That “someday” came much sooner than expected. One Saturday, right after class ended, Mrs Finch was putting away the training device when she suddenly went quiet. Her face lost all color. The coffee cup she was holding dropped on the concrete floor. She leaned against the wall, one hand pressed tightly against her chest. “Boys...” she managed to whisper, before slowly sliding down to the floor. For a moment, Liam and I just stood there, frozen in shock. Our teacher — the one who taught us how to save lives — was now lying helpless on the ground. Suddenly, I remembered her mentioning that she had a heart condition. Her words rushed back to me: “When someone collapses, do not panic, but act immediately.” I saw Liam’s eyes widen with the same realization. We looked at each other, knowing what we had to do. The most important lesson was about to begin — not on the plastic model, but on our teacher herself. 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。 Liam and I did exactly what Mrs Finch had taught us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs Finch was placed in the ambulance, and we followed to the hospital. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Liam and I did exactly what Mrs Finch had taught us. While I knelt down to check her breathing and pulse, Liam quickly called 911, giving the operator clear details about her condition and location. We carefully moved her into a recovery position, kept her calm by talking softly, and I even began chest compressions when her pulse grew weak. Every step felt familiar, as if we were back in class, only this time, the stakes were real. The garage, once just a classroom, now felt like a place where lives could change. Mrs Finch was placed in the ambulance, and we followed to the hospital. Hours later, the doctor told us our quick actions had kept her stable until help arrived. When she woke up, she smiled weakly and whispered, “You two are the best students I’ve ever had.” That day, we truly understood what she meant by “preparation turns anyone into a lifesaver.” We didn’t just learn first aid — we lived it, and we knew we’d never forget how it felt to be the ones who helped. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和好友Liam参加退休护士Finch夫人的免费急救课程，学习了心肺复苏、拨打急救电话等技能；两人本以为这些知识只会用于未来救助陌生人，却在课程结束当天，遇到Finch夫人突发心脏不适倒地，最终两人用所学知识及时施救，成功挽救了老师生命的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写两人分工施救的过程，包括检查生命体征、拨打急救电话、实施心肺复苏等关键急救步骤，呼应课程所学。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写后续在医院的经历，包括医生的反馈、Finch夫人醒来后的反应，以及两人对“急救技能” 和“生命意义”的感悟。 2.续写线索：分工施救→ 等待救援 → 送医陪护 → 医生反馈 → 老师致谢 → 感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①理解：understand/comprehend ②低声说：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①镇定的：calm/composed ②温和地：softly/gently/tenderly 【点睛】[高分句型 1] While I knelt down to check her breathing and pulse, Liam quickly called 911, giving the operator clear details about her condition and location.（运用了while 引导时间状语从句，现在分词短语giving作伴随状语) [高分句型 2] That day, we truly understood what she meant by “preparation turns anyone into a lifesaver.”(运用了what引导宾语从句) ( 4 / 21 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Can you fix my computer?

Hi, Steve. Not bad at all. The idea of sports at night is such an absolutely original one. Can you tell me more about IT?
