Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. Cui’s dedication began in high school through volunteer work, leading her to study special education. Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. As a practical start, she transformed her apartment’s first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. Every detail is designed for accessibility: a low entrance ramp, lowered kitchen counters, an adjustable bathroom mirror, and customized bed heights. Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. Her aim is to provide dignified and comfortable accommodation. Her first guest was a young woman who had lost both legs. Cui arranged a tandem (双人自行车) bicycle ride along the coast for her — a first-time experience the guest later shared online. The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. Cui points out that the core issue is not an absence of accessible facilities, but rather a lack of public awareness about disabilities. Besides the guesthouse, she works at a local welfare center, organizing activities where children wear blindfolds to experience daily life without sight to foster public understanding. Her initiative has created a ripple effect. After gaining online attention, she began receiving requests from local businesses for accessible design advice. Cui hopes her story empowers others to contribute according to their capacities. To date, her guesthouse has hosted 28 guests and received international bookings. Cui acknowledges China’s progress in accessibility, citing supportive laws and improved services. Yet, her ultimate wish is for a future where such specialized accommodations become unnecessary, as affordable, accessible options are available everywhere. She sincerely looks forward to that day. 4. What inspired Cui to design the guesthouse? A. Her work at a welfare center. B. Volunteer service in her youth. C. Her academic pursuit of special education. D. Her travel experiences with disabled friends. 5. What can be inferred about Cui’s influence? A. She has built business partnerships. B. She has motivated disabled travelers. C. She has absorbed government funding. D. She has transformed traditional hotels. 6. Which of the following best describes Cui? A. Traditional and cautious. B. Humorous and ambitious. C. Romantic and adventurous. D. Pioneering and compassionate. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Home Without Barriers B. A Chance for New Business C. A Hero of Online Campaign D. A Center for Special Education 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述崔雅梦创办无障碍民宿帮助残障人士的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. (大学期间她和残障朋友的旅行让她看到，台阶这类日常障碍会变成巨大困难，这启发她立下打造无障碍酒店的长期目标。)”可知，崔雅梦设计民宿的灵感来源于她与残障朋友的旅行经历。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. (这个帖子鼓舞了很多关注者，包括一位男子开启了20年来第一次独自旅行。 )”可知，崔雅梦的事迹激励了残障旅行者勇敢出行。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段“As a practical start, she transformed her apartment's first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. (作为实际的开端，她在2023年将公寓一楼改造成了这家包容性民宿。)”以及“Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. (崔为残障客人提供免费住宿，只要求对方分享个人故事作为回报。)”可知，崔雅梦具有开创性和富有同情心的特质。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. (由29岁的崔雅梦经营，它体现了她为残障人士创造无障碍环境的使命。)”可知，本文核心主题是打造无障碍的“家”。 C On a snowy morning in Stockholm, the Candela C-8 looks like a standard speedboat. Once it picks up speed, something extraordinary happens: the hull (船体) lifts entirely out of the water, “flying” half a meter above the surface. This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils (水翼船). They are ideal for urban transport, says Gustav Hasselskog, the founder of Candela technology company. They are quiet, emission-free and cheap to run — the C-8’s cost per mile is about 5% of that of a traditional speedboat. In many cities, to reduce the disturbance caused by large waves, boats are usually speed-limited. Hydrofoils, however, cause almost no wake and thus travel faster. Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”. The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts (支柱), which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy. Sensors around the boat measure waves and control systems adjust the wings 100 times a second, providing such a solid, smooth ride that the boat feels as though it is on rails. The power needed to drive a hydrofoil varies directly with its mass, so minimizing a hull’s overall weight is also of importance. The wings must be small enough to reduce drag and strong enough to bear the boat’s weight. The solution is to borrow from aerospace and motor racing, and use carbon fiber. As for motors, Candela now has a partnership with makers of electric vehicles, allowing electric boats to use standard fast-chargers designed for cars. The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world’s population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off. 8. What does Gustav Hasselskog expect the Candela C-8 to do? A. Boost coastal tourism. B. Remodel urban traffic. C. Lower travel expenses. D. Promote road building. 9. Which part of the Candela C-8 plays a vital role in its high energy efficiency? A. Its type of drive. B. Its power source. C. Its control systems. D. Its underwater wings. 10. What does the author think of the large traditional public boats? A. They are out of date. B. They show huge potential. C. They are irreplaceable. D. They need to be improved. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Electric Hydrofoils: A New Solution to City Traffic B. Traditional Speedboats: Features and Cost Analysis C. The Candela C-8: Reshaping Heavy-route Transport D. Carbon Fiber: Equipping the Candela C-8 with Wings 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新型电动水翼船Candela C-8，其通过水翼技术实现高效、平稳航行，有望缓解城市交通压力，为沿海城市提供新的交通解决方案。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”.(Hasselskog认为，它们可以通过将交通从拥堵的道路转移到未充分利用的水路上来重塑城市交通，他称之为“蓝色高速公路”)”可知，Hasselskog期望Candela C-8重塑城市交通。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts (支柱), which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy.(Candela C-8由三根细长的红色支柱支撑，这些支柱与两个水下机翼相连，将向前的运动转化为升力。通过将船体抬离水面，船只减少了高达80%的阻力，节省了大量能源)”可知，Candela C-8的水下机翼使其获得升力，减少了阻力，从而提高了能源效率。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off.(虽然大型传统公共船只仍然需要用于繁忙航线，但在城市的短途客运航线上，电动水翼船可能即将起飞)”可知，作者认为大型传统公共船只对于繁忙航线是必要的，即它们是不可替代的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils (水翼船). (这是新一代的电动水翼船)”、第二段“Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”. (Hasselskog认为，它们可以通过将交通从拥堵的道路转移到未被充分利用的水道来重塑城市交通，他称之为“蓝色高速公路”)”和最后一段“The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world’s population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off. (潜在影响是巨大的，因为世界上近一半的人口生活在沿海地区，这些地区的城市经常陷入交通拥堵。虽然大型传统公共船只在繁忙航线上仍然需要，但在城市中短途的客运航线上，电动水翼船可能即将起飞)”可知，文章主要介绍了电动水翼船C-8的特点和优势，以及它如何通过利用城市水道来缓解交通拥堵，成为城市交通的新解决方案。故A项“Electric Hydrofoils: A New Solution to City Traffic (电动水翼船：城市交通的新解决方案)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 D Books were stamped with “Human Authored” logos (标识) at this week’s London Book Fair. The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.” Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book, a collection of 10,000writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.” The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models — and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner, the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.” The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training. For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment — a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed. 12. Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos? A. To show public sympathy for authors. B. To fight AI’s stealing copyrighted works. C. To promote newly-published works. D. To introduce promising authors. 13. What does the underlined word “victims” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Ordinary readers. B. Literary promotion campaigns. C. Human writers. D. Generative AI models. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The protest weakening UK’s economy. B. Copyright law enjoying public support. C. AI firms prioritizing commercial profits. D. The UK government favoring AI companies. 15. How does the Society of Authors view the empty book? A. It is a band-aid fix B. It stands the test of time. C. It is a game changer. D. It works once and for all. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍伦敦书展推出人类原创标识与空白抗议书籍，反对AI未经授权盗用作品，以及英国政府相关版权政策的争议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.”(英国作家协会将该标识描述为保护和弘扬人类创作力、抵制市场中AI标注内容的重要标识。)”可知，加盖“Human Authored”标识是为了抵制AI盗用受版权保护的作品。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.”(人工智能行业建立在被盗用的作品之上，这一行为存在受害者；生成式AI与被训练作品的创作者竞争，夺走了他们的生计。)”可知，AI盗用创作作品损害了人类作家的权益，因此，画线单词指代“人类作家”。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. (英国政府最初提出一项制度，除非版权所有者拒绝，否则AI公司可使用版权作品，这与版权法核心原则完全相悖。)”可知，第四段主要讲述英国政府出台相关政策倾向于偏袒AI公司。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed.(英国作家协会表示，这本空白书籍只是一项临时补救措施，真正的解决办法是建立保护人类创作力而非商业贪欲的版权制度。)”可知，在协会看来这本空白书籍只是权宜之计、临时补救办法，与A选项权宜之计含义相符。 第二节 七选五（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。 For most of my life, I always treated taste as fixed. When I moved to London, I threw myself into work while my housemates were endlessly trying new things. My automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same daily routine. That left me feeling flat and a little empty. I began to question whether my taste is fixed or could be trained. I once read that children need eight to fifteen tries to accept a new food. ___16___ I decided to start small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct (本能) to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway. ___17___ Now I spend mornings reading physical books instead of wandering aimlessly. Then came music and performance — all things I had previously disregarded. ___18___ Gradually, I became fascinated by the unfamiliar rhythms and movements and felt proud of my survival in the end. ___19___ However, I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Sitting opposite people with wildly different life stories made me realize how rarely I speak with other generations. We talked about their past careers, local news and new chess moves. Interestingly, I felt more connected there than with people of my age. Research suggests that engaging your curiosity in new activities can help protect against age - related cognitive (认知的) decline. ___20___ Getting outside my comfort zone now gives me a rush. A. Yet, I was eager for engagement. B. I didn’t love everything straight away. C. For me, it is far more than brain health. D. Initially, I was awkward and sometimes confused. E. As expected, new tastes rarely come without discomfort. F. To my surprise, I enjoyed the discussion and the people there. G. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults? 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者过去固守固有喜好、生活单调空虚，后来效仿儿童尝试新事物的道理，主动参与读书、音乐、象棋等活动，收获快乐与归属感，也认识到尝试新事物意义远超健康本身。 【16题详解】 前文“I once read that children need eight to fifteen tries to accept a new food.( 我曾经读到过，孩子需要八到十五次尝试才能接受一种新的食物。)”提到儿童需要多次尝试才能接受新食物，后文“I decided to start small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct (本能) to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway.( 我决定从小事做起。当一个朋友邀请我参加一个读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”作者开始尝试新的社交活动，G选项“Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults?( 为什么同样的原则不能适用于成年人的社交活动呢？)”将“食物接受原理”类比到成人社交活动，形成逻辑衔接。故选G项。 【17题详解】 前文“When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the instinct to dismiss it despite my longstanding dislike of reading and went anyway.( 当一个朋友邀请我参加读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”提到作者本不喜欢阅读却参加了读书俱乐部，后文“Now I spend mornings reading physical books instead of wandering aimlessly.( 现在，我早上会花时间阅读实体书籍，而不是漫无目的地闲逛。)”提到如今养成晨读习惯，此处应说明意外地喜欢上了读书俱乐部的氛围。F选项“To my surprise, I enjoyed the discussion and the people there.( 让我惊讶的是，我享受了这次讨论以及那里的每一个人。)”符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【18题详解】 前文“Then came music and performance — all things I had previously disregarded. (接下来是音乐和表演——这些都是我之前不屑一顾的东西。)”作者尝试此前忽视的音乐和表演，后文“Gradually, I became fascinated by the unfamiliar rhythms and movements and felt proud of my survival in the end.( 逐渐地，我对那些陌生的节奏和动作产生了兴趣，并最终为自己的坚持感到自豪。)”“Gradually（逐渐地）”体现从生疏到适应的过程，此处应描述初期的窘迫与困惑。D选项“Initially, I was awkward and sometimes confused.( 起初，我感到有些笨拙和困惑。)”符合此推断，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选D项。 【19题详解】 后文“However, I stopped saying no before I had even begun.( 然而，在我甚至还没开始之前，我就不再说“不”了。)”“However”表转折，说明作者不再轻易拒绝新事物，前文应体现不会立刻爱上所有新事物的客观事实。B选项“I didn’t love everything straight away.( 我并非一开始就喜欢上所有的东西。)”符合此推断，和下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选B项。 【20题详解】 前文“Research suggests that engaging your curiosity in new activities can help protect against age - related cognitive (认知的) decline.( 研究表明，对新活动保持好奇心有助于预防与年龄相关的认知能力下降。)”提到新活动利于大脑认知健康，后文“Getting outside my comfort zone now gives me a rush.( 现在走出自己的舒适区让我感到兴奋不已。)”强调走出舒适区带来的精神愉悦，说明意义远超大脑健康本身。C选项“For me, it is far more than brain health.( 对我而言，这远不止关乎大脑健康。)”起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选C项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 From popular tracks to remote valleys, weary hikers can always find a hut (小屋) to rest in New Zealand’s countryside.

He opened it slowly. Health and Safety Warning. Fine(罚款): $300. Three hundred dollars — his entire summer earnings, meant for books and a winter coat. Now gone, all because of a messy room! Andy was a quiet international student who kept his side of the dorm perfectly organized. For him, neatness brought calm and control. His roommate, Eric, was the opposite: he lived in what could only be described as a happy mess. Clothes piled on his chair, empty snack bags collected on the floor, and the shared waste bin always overflowed. But Eric was kind — he’d shown Andy around campus, helped with his homework, and lifted his spirits when he was homesick. Andy was grateful. He never complained. He didn’t want to start a fight. So, he’d sigh and quietly take out the garbage, thinking it was a small price for such a good friend. But he’d been home for two weeks — and returned to this. Now. holding the letter, he felt it was a big mistake. “I’ve been cleaning up his mess, and I get fined too?” he thought in frustration. This wasn’t fair. His usual “avoid trouble” plan had failed. Just then, the door flew open. “Andy! You won’t believe the game today...” Eric’s energetic entry stopped short. “Whoa. You look pale as a sheet. What’s wrong?” Without a word, Andy held out the warning letter. Eric took it, his smile fading as he read. “Oh, no. A fine? Three hundred? I’m... I’m really sorry.” He looked from the letter to the pile of pizza boxes in the corner, which he’d meant to throw out for days, then to Andy’s spotless desk. Real guilt washed over his face. “I’ve been completely careless about this. I’m sorry Andy...” 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。 “It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough — they needed rules. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： “It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.”Eric nodded firmly, guilt written all over his face. “You’re right. It’s my mess, and I’ll take full responsibility.” They rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Eric collected the overflowing trash while Andy organized the shared desk space. As they cleaned, Eric kept saying sorry, promising he would change. Seeing Eric’s sincerity, Andy felt some of his frustration disappear. By the time they finished, the room looked spotless. Eric sat on his now-clean bed and sighed, ‘I never realized how much my habits were affecting you. Thanks for not just kicking me out.” They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough -- they needed rules.Eric suggested they create a simple roommate agreement. “How about this?” he proposed. “I’ll take out the trash every Friday, and I promise to keep my clothes off the floor. If I break the rules, I’ll pay you double the fine next time.” Andy smiled for the first time that day. “Deal,” he said, extending his hand. “And I promise to speak up if something bothers me instead of bottling it up.” They shook hands, feeling a renewed sense of trust. That night, they even ordered pizza together, but this time, Eric made sure the boxes went straight to the bin. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了国际学生Andy因室友Eric房间脏乱收到300美元罚款通知，这是他暑假全部收入。Andy一向整洁且常帮Eric收拾，此次回家两周后返回却遭此无妄之灾。Eric得知后深感愧疚并道歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘没关系的，’Andy轻声说道，‘不过咱们现在一起把它清理干净吧。’可知，第一段可描写两个人一起彻底打扫房间卫生的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们俩都明白，一次性的清洁是不够的——他们还需要制定一些规则。”可知，第二段可描写他们两人一起制定卫生规则，分担责任，共同维护房间整洁。 2.续写线索：Eric道歉——共同打扫——制定规则——承诺——原谅——友好相处 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：collect /gather/assemble ②道歉：say sorry/apologize/make an apology ③消失：disappear/melt away/lift/fade away 情绪类 ①羞愧，愧疚：guilt/shame/humiliation/regret ②沮丧：frustration/discouragement/depression 【点睛】 [高分句型1].Eric nodded firmly, guilt written all over his face. （运用了“名词+过去分词”的独立主格结构） [高分句型2].As they cleaned, Eric kept saying sorry, promising he would change.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句及现在分词作状语） [高分句型3]. “Deal,” he said, extending his hand.（运用了现在分词作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高考适应性考试 英语 本试卷共12页，67题。全卷满分150分。考试用时150分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 2．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。 选择题部分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上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.

Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. Cui’s dedication began in high school through volunteer work, leading her to study special education. Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. As a practical start, she transformed her apartment’s first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. Every detail is designed for accessibility: a low entrance ramp, lowered kitchen counters, an adjustable bathroom mirror, and customized bed heights. Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. Her aim is to provide dignified and comfortable accommodation. Her first guest was a young woman who had lost both legs. Cui arranged a tandem (双人自行车) bicycle ride along the coast for her — a first-time experience the guest later shared online. The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. Cui points out that the core issue is not an absence of accessible facilities, but rather a lack of public awareness about disabilities. Besides the guesthouse, she works at a local welfare center, organizing activities where children wear blindfolds to experience daily life without sight to foster public understanding. Her initiative has created a ripple effect. After gaining online attention, she began receiving requests from local businesses for accessible design advice. Cui hopes her story empowers others to contribute according to their capacities. To date, her guesthouse has hosted 28 guests and received international bookings. Cui acknowledges China’s progress in accessibility, citing supportive laws and improved services. Yet, her ultimate wish is for a future where such specialized accommodations become unnecessary, as affordable, accessible options are available everywhere. She sincerely looks forward to that day. 4. What inspired Cui to design the guesthouse? A. Her work at a welfare center. B. Volunteer service in her youth. C. Her academic pursuit of special education. D. Her travel experiences with disabled friends. 5. What can be inferred about Cui’s influence? A. She has built business partnerships. B. She has motivated disabled travelers. C. She has absorbed government funding. D. She has transformed traditional hotels. 6. Which of the following best describes Cui? A. Traditional and cautious. B. Humorous and ambitious. C. Romantic and adventurous. D. Pioneering and compassionate. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Home Without Barriers B. A Chance for New Business C. A Hero of Online Campaign D. A Center for Special Education C On a snowy morning in Stockholm, the Candela C-8 looks like a standard speedboat. Once it picks up speed, something extraordinary happens: the hull (船体) lifts entirely out of the water, “flying” half a meter above the surface. This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils (水翼船). They are ideal for urban transport, says Gustav Hasselskog, the founder of Candela technology company. They are quiet, emission-free and cheap to run — the C-8’s cost per mile is about 5% of that of a traditional speedboat. In many cities, to reduce the disturbance caused by large waves, boats are usually speed-limited. Hydrofoils, however, cause almost no wake and thus travel faster. Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”. The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts (支柱), which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy. Sensors around the boat measure waves and control systems adjust the wings 100 times a second, providing such a solid, smooth ride that the boat feels as though it is on rails. The power needed to drive a hydrofoil varies directly with its mass, so minimizing a hull’s overall weight is also of importance. The wings must be small enough to reduce drag and strong enough to bear the boat’s weight. The solution is to borrow from aerospace and motor racing, and use carbon fiber. As for motors, Candela now has a partnership with makers of electric vehicles, allowing electric boats to use standard fast-chargers designed for cars. The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world’s population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off. 8. What does Gustav Hasselskog expect the Candela C-8 to do? A. Boost coastal tourism. B. Remodel urban traffic. C. Lower travel expenses. D. Promote road building. 9. Which part of the Candela C-8 plays a vital role in its high energy efficiency? A. Its type of drive. B. Its power source. C. Its control systems. D. Its underwater wings. 10. What does the author think of the large traditional public boats? A. They are out of date. B. They show huge potential. C. They are irreplaceable. D. They need to be improved. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Electric Hydrofoils: A New Solution to City Traffic B. Traditional Speedboats: Features and Cost Analysis C. The Candela C-8: Reshaping Heavy-route Transport D. Carbon Fiber: Equipping the Candela C-8 with Wings D Books were stamped with “Human Authored” logos (标识) at this week’s London Book Fair. The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.” Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book, a collection of 10,000writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.” The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models — and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner, the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.” The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training. For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment — a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed. 12. Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos? A. To show public sympathy for authors. B. To fight AI’s stealing copyrighted works. C. To promote newly-published works. D. To introduce promising authors. 13. What does the underlined word “victims” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Ordinary readers. B. Literary promotion campaigns. C. Human writers. D. Generative AI models. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The protest weakening UK’s economy. B. Copyright law enjoying public support. C. AI firms prioritizing commercial profits. D. The UK government favoring AI companies. 15. How does the Society of Authors view the empty book? A. It is a band-aid fix B. It stands the test of time. C. It is a game changer. D. It works once and for all. 第二节 七选五（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。 For most of my life, I always treated taste as fixed. When I moved to London, I threw myself into work while my housemates were endlessly trying new things. My automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same daily routine. That left me feeling flat and a little empty.

The Student Affairs Office logo in the corner made his stomach sink. He opened it slowly. Health and Safety Warning. Fine(罚款): $300. Three hundred dollars — his entire summer earnings, meant for books and a winter coat. Now gone, all because of a messy room! Andy was a quiet international student who kept his side of the dorm perfectly organized. For him, neatness brought calm and control. His roommate, Eric, was the opposite: he lived in what could only be described as a happy mess. Clothes piled on his chair, empty snack bags collected on the floor, and the shared waste bin always overflowed. But Eric was kind — he’d shown Andy around campus, helped with his homework, and lifted his spirits when he was homesick. Andy was grateful. He never complained. He didn’t want to start a fight. So, he’d sigh and quietly take out the garbage, thinking it was a small price for such a good friend. But he’d been home for two weeks — and returned to this. Now. holding the letter, he felt it was a big mistake. “I’ve been cleaning up his mess, and I get fined too?” he thought in frustration. This wasn’t fair. His usual “avoid trouble” plan had failed. Just then, the door flew open. “Andy! You won’t believe the game today...” Eric’s energetic entry stopped short. “Whoa. You look pale as a sheet. What’s wrong?” Without a word, Andy held out the warning letter. Eric took it, his smile fading as he read. “Oh, no. A fine? Three hundred? I’m... I’m really sorry.” He looked from the letter to the pile of pizza boxes in the corner, which he’d meant to throw out for days, then to Andy’s spotless desk. Real guilt washed over his face. “I’ve been completely careless about this. I’m sorry Andy...” 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。 “It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough — they needed rules. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
