D. student, and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge (离心机), I failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen. Then, a senior postdoc tried to cheer me up by saying, “These things happen.” But I couldn’t forgive myself. I had always been a top student, and before I started my graduate program, I had already completed medical school. I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this kind of work. I tried to avoid more mistakes, but there was no structured course in my graduate school, and I was unused to building research work. Mistakes kept piling up: repeated DNA extraction failures, mixed-up results and methods sections in scientific writing. I was overwhelmed with self-blame, feeling all eyes were on me, judging my incompetence. Then, one night, I had a dream. I knew I was suffering, and I watched myself, with deep sympathy. That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same pity I would offer a dear friend. I should have seen mistakes as part of growth. That realization led me to change. The shift in mindset made it easier to avoid being consumed by the weight of failure. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on. This simple practice helped me a lot. The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. “Doing better” comes from “doing first”, often with twists and turns along the way. 24. How did the author probably feel when hearing the loud noise? A. Relieved. B. Confused. C. Ashamed. D. Impatient. 25. What played a part in the author’s continuous mistakes? A. She lacked structured guidance. B. She tried to avoid criticism. C. She refused to take others’ advice. D. She was overconfident about herself. 26. How did the dream affect the author? A. It let her realize the value of research work. B. It worsened her academic struggle dramatically. C. It inspired her to treat her friends sympathetically. D. It helped her change her attitude towards mistakes. 27. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Self-blame is necessary to correct mistakes. B. Top students are less likely to make mistakes. C. Mistakes are an unavoidable part of progress. D. The meaning of life lies in continuous success. C A new study published in Science suggests AI systems’ responses may disturb people’s ability to handle interpersonal conflicts. Scientists found that when AI chatbots are used for advice on interpersonal issues, they profess users’ perspectives much more often than humans and even praise clearly problematic behaviors. This behavior makes users view AI responses as more trustworthy, so they are more likely to turn to the agreeable AI again for future interpersonal issues. Myra Cheng, a university professor and lead author of the study, was inspired after she learned that undergraduates were increasingly using AI to solve relationship issues. She worries people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations, as AI never tells users they are wrong or offers the “tough love” sometimes needed. While AI is overly agreeable on fact-based questions, few studies have explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) powering AI judge social dilemmas (困境). Cheng’s team evaluated 11 major LLMs, including ChatGPT and Gemini, using established interpersonal advice datasets. They also presented LLMs with harmful action statements and tested 2,400 participants who chatted with both overly agreeable and objective AI chatbots. They found AI supported users 49% more often than humans on average and praised problematic behaviors 47% of the time; participants judged overly agreeable AI chatbots as more trustworthy, enhancing their original views. Researchers claimed this preference may leave developers unmotivated to fix AI’s sycophancy, creating a harmful feedback circle, where engagement with AI models and their training could enhance such overly agreeable behavior. Additionally, participants could not distinguish overly agreeable AI chatbots from objective ones, mistakenly thinking they were equally fair. One reason the researchers cited was that AI’s agreement often came wrapped in neutral, academic language, making its biased opinion hard to recognize. The study warns overusing AI for interpersonal advice may disturb moral growth and narrow perspectives, as avoiding social conflicts — easy with AI — is key to healthy relationships. 28. What does the underlined word “profess” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Simplify. B. Back. C. Contradict. D. Dismiss. 29. What is Cheng’s concern? A. AI is dangerously replacing human communication. B. Colleges fail to offer necessary guidance to graduates. C. Students rely too much on digital products in daily study. D. People may gradually lose competence in handling conflicts. 30. What is a finding of Cheng’s experiment? A. Agreeable AI chatbots are preferred. B. There is no perfect solution to social dilemmas. C. LLMs are better at solving fact-based problems. D. AI models provide more objective advice than humans. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Risks of AI’s Overly Agreeable Advice B. A New Study on the Future Development of LLMs C. Ways to Distinguish Biased AI Tools from Objective Ones D. The Importance of Tough Love in Interpersonal Conflicts D Archaeologists working in the Nile Delta of Egypt may have discovered a structure traced back to around 2,600 years ago while testing a new technology designed to locate structures buried deep beneath the surface. The team was studying the Buto site, the ruins of an ancient city that was occupied from the Predynastic period to the Early Islamic era. During its long history, Buto was built, destroyed, and rebuilt, and consequently has several layers, each potentially a rich source of archaeological remains. However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels. The researchers were trialing an integrated approach that uses satellite radar and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The team started with Sentinel-1 radar satellites to identify large-scale anomalies (异常事物) from space. When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity. This technique has been likened to an underground “CT scan”. The scans showed that while the upper layers contained some remains from later historical periods, a large, well-defined structure lay at a depth of between three and six meters, dating back about 2,600 years. At this stage, the researchers thought it could be a large tomb or temple. Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation (挖掘), which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted. The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel. 32. What is the primary purpose of the technology used in the study? A. To replace traditional excavation with advanced imaging tools. B. To uncover ancient artifacts without disturbing the site. C. To examine the historical layers of the Buto site in detail. D. To assist archaeologists in identifying where to excavate. 33. Why is traditional excavation at Buto considered challenging? A. The equipment required is not available for large-scale digging. B. The site contains remains from multiple historical periods. C. The deeper layers are hidden beneath later deposits and groundwater. D. The mudbrick structures are too fragile to survive excavation. 34. What is the role of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in the research? A. It detects large-scale anomalies from satellite images. B. It generates a 3D image of underground structures. C. It determines whether a site contains valuable artifacts. D. It removes obstacles that block access to deeper layers. 35. What can be inferred about the integrated approach used by the researchers? A. It is mainly useful for studying surface-level remains. B. It will ultimately replace traditional excavation. C. It combines satellite radar with ground-based methods. D. It allows for more efficient archaeological exploration. 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。 Have you ever had a day during exam preparation when you sat down to concentrate? ____36____ I’ve been there too. And the most important lessons I learned didn’t come from books — they came from understanding how to protect my mindset. If you’re preparing for a competitive exam, here are three things you must keep private until you succeed. Never Share Your Goals Many students loudly announce their targets — what score they want, or which rank they dream of. But sharing your goals weakens the inner tension that pushes you to work harder. Before you talk about them, your goals create a kind of inner fire — stress, urgency, and hunger. The moment you announce them, that fire drops. ____37____ That temporary high makes you feel as if you’ve already achieved something, reducing the hunger that actually leads to achievement. Never Share Your Progress ____38____ When someone asks, just say, “It’s going on.” Revealing your progress harms you. Once you share it, people immediately start judging or suggesting changes: “Use this book.” “Follow my timetable.” You begin doubting your own strategy, even if it was working well. There’s no perfect plan — only consistent efforts. Don’t Share Your Fears With Companions Every student carries silent struggles — family pressure, financial stress, emotional pain. Sharing your fears with another student rarely helps because they are already overwhelmed by their own worries. ____39____ Talk instead to a mentor, a trusted family member, or write privately. Your exam preparation is a personal journey. Protect your focus. ____40____. The calmer you stay, the better your exam results will be. A. Let silence work for you. B. Exam pressure can help you stay focused. C. Don’t mention how much revision you’ve done. D. You will receive instant praise that gives you a burst of excitement. E. Keeping your goals to yourself is one of the best ways to stay motivated. F. Your books were open, your notes were ready, yet your mind was wandering. G. They can’t offer the emotional support, and oversharing often leads to regret. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When Liam sank into deep loneliness at the age of fourteen, he became a completely different boy.

Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration. Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments. Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions. At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2025-2026学年高三下期三模测试（B） 英语试题 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。 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纸上。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him. But unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention. But dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book. 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 Hotchkiss School is a world-famous private boarding high school in the United States. Founded in 1891 and lying in Lakeville, Connecticut, the school has 599 students from Grade 9 to Grade 12 as well as a small number of advanced students. It maintains an average class size of 12 students and a teacher-student ratio (比率) of 1:5, which allows teachers to care more about each student. Academics and Student Life Valuing both study and personal development, the school provides courses including humanities, science, mathematics and foreign languages. More than 92 percent of students join one of the 62 school sports teams. Every year, many graduates go on to study at top universities such as Harvard and Yale. The following chart shows the college admission distribution of Hotchkiss graduates. Summer Program Overview This year, Hotchkiss School will hold a summer program for students entering Grade 7 or above. The program has two 2-week sessions. Session 1 runs from June 29 to July 12, and Session 2 is from July 13 to July 26. Students can choose to take part in one session or both. Program Highlights ·14 special courses covering STEM, art, public speaking and sports are provided. ·Textbook knowledge and real-world practice are skilfully combined. ·Activities like swimming, hiking, basketball and beach volleyball can be enjoyed without paying. ·Tennis, rock climbing and SSAT training are available for an extra charge, but students can choose whether to participate.

It mainly accepts advanced students. B. Its class size is usually kept very small. C. Its students mostly come from Connecticut. D. It has received recognition for its humanities disciplines. 22. What percentage of students are admitted to Ivy League and Top 25 universities? A. 19.82%. B. 34.15%. C. 44.82%. D. 53.97%. 23. What requires an extra fee in the summer program? A. Hands-on experiments. B. Public speaking opportunities. C. Beach volleyball. D. SSAT training. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了霍奇基斯中学是美国知名寄宿高中，小班教学升学优异，开设暑期项目，申请需提交成绩、推荐信及文书。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It maintains an average class size of 12 students and a teacher-student ratio (比率) of 1:5, which allows teachers to care more about each student.( 该校平均每班学生人数为12人，师生比例为1:5，这使得教师能够更加关注每一位学生。)”可知，平均 12人的班级规模和 1:5 的师生比说明班级通常很小。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表依据：饼图显示 Ivy League（常春藤联盟）录取比例为19.82%，Top 25大学录取比例为25.00%。计算过程：19.82% + 25.00% = 44.82%，由此可知，被常春藤联盟校和排名前25 位的大学录取比例为44.82%。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Program Highlights中“Tennis, rock climbing and SSAT training are available for an extra charge, but students can choose whether to participate.( 网球、攀岩和 SSAT 培训需额外付费，但学生可以选择是否参加。)”可知，SSAT培训属于需要额外付费的项目。 B A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab. I had recently joined as a Ph. D. student, and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge (离心机), I failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen. Then, a senior postdoc tried to cheer me up by saying, “These things happen.” But I couldn’t forgive myself. I had always been a top student, and before I started my graduate program, I had already completed medical school. I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this kind of work. I tried to avoid more mistakes, but there was no structured course in my graduate school, and I was unused to building research work. Mistakes kept piling up: repeated DNA extraction failures, mixed-up results and methods sections in scientific writing. I was overwhelmed with self-blame, feeling all eyes were on me, judging my incompetence. Then, one night, I had a dream. I knew I was suffering, and I watched myself, with deep sympathy. That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same pity I would offer a dear friend. I should have seen mistakes as part of growth. That realization led me to change. The shift in mindset made it easier to avoid being consumed by the weight of failure. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on. This simple practice helped me a lot. The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. “Doing better” comes from “doing first”, often with twists and turns along the way. 24. How did the author probably feel when hearing the loud noise? A. Relieved. B. Confused. C. Ashamed. D. Impatient. 25. What played a part in the author’s continuous mistakes? A. She lacked structured guidance. B. She tried to avoid criticism. C. She refused to take others’ advice. D. She was overconfident about herself. 26. How did the dream affect the author? A. It let her realize the value of research work. B. It worsened her academic struggle dramatically. C. It inspired her to treat her friends sympathetically. D. It helped her change her attitude towards mistakes. 27. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Self-blame is necessary to correct mistakes. B. Top students are less likely to make mistakes. C. Mistakes are an unavoidable part of progress. D. The meaning of life lies in continuous success. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者作为一名刚入学的博士生，在实验室因操作离心机失误引发巨响，此后又接连犯错，因一直对自己要求严格，她陷入自责。直到一次梦中对自己产生同情，让她意识到应像对待朋友一样宽容自己，把错误当作成长的一部分。心态转变后，作者开始记录错误并从中学习，认识到犯错是进步中不可避免的一部分。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab. I had recently joined as a Ph.D. student, and I realized I was to blame. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen. (实验室里突然响起一声巨响。我刚成为一名博士生，意识到这是我的错。我一打开离心机，错误就很明显了。在运行周期结束前我无法关掉它，所以我就呆呆地站在那里。)”可知，作者意识到错误是自己造成的，且无法立刻停止离心机运行，只能呆立在那，由此可推断作者当时感到很羞愧。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I tried to avoid more mistakes, but there was no structured course in my graduate school, and I was unused to building research work. (我试图避免更多错误，但我的研究生院没有系统的课程，而且我不习惯开展研究工作。)”可知，作者接连犯错的一个原因是缺乏系统的指导。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same pity I would offer a dear friend. I should have seen mistakes as part of growth. (那个梦让我看到了一些在清醒时无法理解的东西：我需要像对待亲密朋友一样善待自己。我应该把错误看作是成长的一部分。)”可知，这个梦帮助作者改变了对错误的态度。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. “Doing better” comes from “doing first”, often with twists and turns along the way. (现实是，我们都会搞砸事情。我现在意识到这没关系，甚至是必要的。“做得更好”源于“先去做”，而这一路上往往充满曲折。)”可知，作者认为犯错是进步中不可避免的一部分。 C A new study published in Science suggests AI systems’ responses may disturb people’s ability to handle interpersonal conflicts. Scientists found that when AI chatbots are used for advice on interpersonal issues, they profess users’ perspectives much more often than humans and even praise clearly problematic behaviors. This behavior makes users view AI responses as more trustworthy, so they are more likely to turn to the agreeable AI again for future interpersonal issues. Myra Cheng, a university professor and lead author of the study, was inspired after she learned that undergraduates were increasingly using AI to solve relationship issues. She worries people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations, as AI never tells users they are wrong or offers the “tough love” sometimes needed. While AI is overly agreeable on fact-based questions, few studies have explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) powering AI judge social dilemmas (困境). Cheng’s team evaluated 11 major LLMs, including ChatGPT and Gemini, using established interpersonal advice datasets. They also presented LLMs with harmful action statements and tested 2,400 participants who chatted with both overly agreeable and objective AI chatbots. They found AI supported users 49% more often than humans on average and praised problematic behaviors 47% of the time; participants judged overly agreeable AI chatbots as more trustworthy, enhancing their original views. Researchers claimed this preference may leave developers unmotivated to fix AI’s sycophancy, creating a harmful feedback circle, where engagement with AI models and their training could enhance such overly agreeable behavior. Additionally, participants could not distinguish overly agreeable AI chatbots from objective ones, mistakenly thinking they were equally fair. One reason the researchers cited was that AI’s agreement often came wrapped in neutral, academic language, making its biased opinion hard to recognize. The study warns overusing AI for interpersonal advice may disturb moral growth and narrow perspectives, as avoiding social conflicts — easy with AI — is key to healthy relationships. 28. What does the underlined word “profess” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Simplify. B. Back. C. Contradict. D. Dismiss. 29. What is Cheng’s concern? A. AI is dangerously replacing human communication. B. Colleges fail to offer necessary guidance to graduates. C. Students rely too much on digital products in daily study. D. People may gradually lose competence in handling conflicts. 30. What is a finding of Cheng’s experiment? A. Agreeable AI chatbots are preferred. B. There is no perfect solution to social dilemmas. C. LLMs are better at solving fact-based problems. D. AI models provide more objective advice than humans. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Risks of AI’s Overly Agreeable Advice B. A New Study on the Future Development of LLMs C. Ways to Distinguish Biased AI Tools from Objective Ones D. The Importance of Tough Love in Interpersonal Conflicts 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍一项新研究，表明人工智能系统在处理人际冲突问题时，其回复可能会干扰人们处理人际冲突的能力。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Scientists found that when AI chatbots are used for advice on interpersonal issues, they profess users’perspectives much more often than humans and even praise clearly problematic behaviors.(科学家发现，当使用人工智能聊天机器人提供人际问题建议时，它们比人类更频繁地____用户的观点，甚至赞扬明显有问题的行为)”以及后文“users view AI responses as more trustworthy(用户认为人工智能的回复更值得信赖)”可知，人工智能聊天机器人应是支持用户观点，所以才会让用户觉得更可信，“profess”意思应与“支持，赞同”相近。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She worries people will lose the skills to deal with difficult social situations, as AI never tells users they are wrong or offers the “tough love” sometimes needed.(她担心人们会失去处理棘手社交情况的技能，因为人工智能从不告诉用户他们错了，也不会提供有时所需的 “严厉的爱”)”可知，程教授担心人们可能会逐渐失去处理冲突的能力。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“participants judged overly agreeable AI chatbots as more trustworthy, enhancing their original views.(参与者认为过度认同的人工智能聊天机器人更值得信赖，强化了他们原本的观点)”以及第四段“Researchers claimed this preference may leave developers unmotivated to fix AI’s sycophancy(研究人员声称这种偏好可能会让开发者没有动力去修正人工智能的谄媚行为)”可知，程教授实验的一个发现是过度认同用户的人工智能聊天机器人更受青睐。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study published in Science suggests AI systems’ responses may disturb people’s ability to handle interpersonal conflicts.(一项发表在《科学》期刊上的新研究表明：人工智能系统的回应，可能会削弱人们处理人际矛盾的能力)”可知，文章围绕人工智能在提供人际问题建议时过度认同用户观点这一现象展开，阐述了其可能带来的风险，如干扰人们处理人际冲突能力、干扰道德成长、形成有害反馈循环等，所以A选项“Risks of AI’s Overly Agreeable Advice(人工智能过度认同建议的风险)”最能概括文章主旨, 为最佳标题。 D Archaeologists working in the Nile Delta of Egypt may have discovered a structure traced back to around 2,600 years ago while testing a new technology designed to locate structures buried deep beneath the surface. The team was studying the Buto site, the ruins of an ancient city that was occupied from the Predynastic period to the Early Islamic era. During its long history, Buto was built, destroyed, and rebuilt, and consequently has several layers, each potentially a rich source of archaeological remains. However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels. The researchers were trialing an integrated approach that uses satellite radar and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The team started with Sentinel-1 radar satellites to identify large-scale anomalies (异常事物) from space. When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity. This technique has been likened to an underground “CT scan”. The scans showed that while the upper layers contained some remains from later historical periods, a large, well-defined structure lay at a depth of between three and six meters, dating back about 2,600 years. At this stage, the researchers thought it could be a large tomb or temple. Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation (挖掘), which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted. The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel. 32. What is the primary purpose of the technology used in the study? A. To replace traditional excavation with advanced imaging tools. B. To uncover ancient artifacts without disturbing the site. C. To examine the historical layers of the Buto site in detail. D. To assist archaeologists in identifying where to excavate. 33. Why is traditional excavation at Buto considered challenging? A. The equipment required is not available for large-scale digging. B. The site contains remains from multiple historical periods. C. The deeper layers are hidden beneath later deposits and groundwater. D. The mudbrick structures are too fragile to survive excavation. 34. What is the role of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in the research? A. It detects large-scale anomalies from satellite images. B. It generates a 3D image of underground structures. C. It determines whether a site contains valuable artifacts. D. It removes obstacles that block access to deeper layers. 35. What can be inferred about the integrated approach used by the researchers? A. It is mainly useful for studying surface-level remains. B. It will ultimately replace traditional excavation. C. It combines satellite radar with ground-based methods. D. It allows for more efficient archaeological exploration. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了考古学家利用卫星雷达与电阻率成像技术在埃及尼罗河三角洲探测古城遗址的研究过程与成果。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation (挖掘), which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted.(基于这些探测结果的指引，他们开展了一项小规模挖掘，并在传感器此前预测的位置发现了泥砖墙与宗教器物)”以及最后一段中的“The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region.(这项研究的结果证明了将地球物理测量和遥感数据相结合的有效性，可以准确地检测复杂地区的埋藏定居点)”可知，该技术的主要目的是帮助考古学家确定挖掘位置，而非替代挖掘。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels.(然而，这座城市最古老的部分现在被埋在后来的废墟和厚厚的泥土沉积物之下。这将使传统的挖掘变得困难、耗时且昂贵，因为考古学家必须移动大量碎片或与地下水斗争才能达到较低的水位)”可知，传统挖掘困难的原因是深层遗迹被后期堆积物和地下水覆盖。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity. This technique has been likened to an underground “CT scan”.(当它检测到感兴趣的东西时，他们跟进ERT，ERT在放置在地下的一系列电极之间发送电流，根据不同材料的导电或抗电方式创建地下结构的三维模型。这项技术被比作地下“CT扫描”)”可知，ERT的作用是生成地下结构的三维图像。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel.(这项研究的结果证明了将地球物理测量和遥感数据相结合的有效性，可以准确地检测复杂地区的埋藏定居点。研究人员现在计划用更大的设备扩大这些调查，以达到更深、更古老的水平，他们相信他们的综合方法可以在任何人拿起铲子之前用于绘制其他考古遗址的地图)”可推断，综合方法结合了卫星雷达与地面技术，提升了考古勘探的效率。 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。 Have you ever had a day during exam preparation when you sat down to concentrate? ____36____ I’ve been there too. And the most important lessons I learned didn’t come from books — they came from understanding how to protect my mindset. If you’re preparing for a competitive exam, here are three things you must keep private until you succeed. Never Share Your Goals Many students loudly announce their targets — what score they want, or which rank they dream of. But sharing your goals weakens the inner tension that pushes you to work harder. Before you talk about them, your goals create a kind of inner fire — stress, urgency, and hunger. The moment you announce them, that fire drops. ____37____ That temporary high makes you feel as if you’ve already achieved something, reducing the hunger that actually leads to achievement. Never Share Your Progress ____38____ When someone asks, just say, “It’s going on.” Revealing your progress harms you. Once you share it, people immediately start judging or suggesting changes: “Use this book.” “Follow my timetable.” You begin doubting your own strategy, even if it was working well. There’s no perfect plan — only consistent efforts. Don’t Share Your Fears With Companions Every student carries silent struggles — family pressure, financial stress, emotional pain. Sharing your fears with another student rarely helps because they are already overwhelmed by their own worries. ____39____ Talk instead to a mentor, a trusted family member, or write privately. Your exam preparation is a personal journey. Protect your focus. ____40____. The calmer you stay, the better your exam results will be. A. Let silence work for you. B. Exam pressure can help you stay focused. C. Don’t mention how much revision you’ve done. D. You will receive instant praise that gives you a burst of excitement. E. Keeping your goals to yourself is one of the best ways to stay motivated. F. Your books were open, your notes were ready, yet your mind was wandering. G. They can’t offer the emotional support, and oversharing often leads to regret. 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. C 39. G 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍备考期间为保护心态、专注备考，成功前需保密的三件事：不分享目标、不分享进度、不与同伴分享恐惧。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Have you ever had a day during exam preparation when you sat down to concentrate? (备考期间，你有没有过这样一天：坐下来想要集中注意力？)”以及下文“I’ve been there too. (我也有过这样的经历)”可知，此处应衔接上文的“想要集中注意力”，描述具体的分心场景，F选项“Your books were open, your notes were ready, yet your mind was wandering. (你的书打开了，笔记准备好了，但你的思绪却在游荡)”既呼应了上文的“集中注意力”，又体现了备考时的分心状态，与下文“我也有过”衔接自然。 【37题详解】 根据上文“The moment you announce them, that fire drops. (你一宣布它们，那股火焰就熄灭了)”以及下文“That temporary high makes you feel as if you’ve already achieved something, reducing the hunger that actually leads to achievement. (那种短暂的兴奋感会让你觉得自己好像已经取得了一些成就，从而减少了真正能带来成就的渴望)”可知，此处应说明宣布目标后会出现的具体情况，D选项“You will receive instant praise that gives you a burst of excitement. (你会立即得到表扬，这会给你一阵兴奋)”中的a burst of excitement与下文的temporary high相呼应，解释了“火焰熄灭”的原因。 【38题详解】 根据本段小标题“Never Share Your Progress (永远不要分享你的进度)”可知，此处应具体说明不要分享进度的做法，C选项“Don’t mention how much revision you’ve done. (不要提你已经复习了多少)”呼应小标题，且与下文的回应方式衔接，明确了“不分享进度”的具体表现。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Sharing your fears with another student rarely helps because they are already overwhelmed by their own worries. (和另一个学生分享你的恐惧很少有帮助，因为他们已经被自己的担忧压得喘不过气来)”以及下文“Talk instead to a mentor, a trusted family member, or write privately. (相反，和导师、信任的家人谈谈，或者私下写下来)”可知，此处应进一步说明和同伴分享恐惧的弊端，G选项“They can’t offer the emotional support, and oversharing often leads to regret. (他们无法提供情感支持，而且过度分享往往会导致后悔)”中的They指代上文的another student，承接上文说明分享恐惧无帮助的原因，同时引出下文的正确做法。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Your exam preparation is a personal journey. Protect your focus. (你的备考是一段个人旅程。保护好你的注意力)”以及下文“The calmer you stay, the better your exam results will be. (你越冷静，考试成绩就会越好)”可知，此处应总结上文，强调保持沉静、不张扬的重要性，A选项“Let silence work for you. (让沉默为你效力)”既呼应了前文“不分享”的核心，又与下文的“冷静”相衔接。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When Liam sank into deep loneliness at the age of fourteen, he became a completely different boy.

In an early scene from this drama, a policewoman and a mountain patroller (巡逻者) stop their truck in the dead of night, fearing they might have caused an ____57____ (accident) collision with a Tibetan antelope. ____58____ greets their eyes shocks them — a herd of antelopes lies killed, their bodies scattered across the frozen ground. Suddenly the headlights from half a dozen trucks blaze to life, their beams ____59____ (cut) through the night. Poachers, rifles raised, have them surrounded.

What 59. cutting 60. and 61. an 62. China’s 63. was attacked 64. where 65. despite 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍热播剧《生万物》取材于青海反盗猎英雄的真实事迹，讲述可可西里藏羚羊保护工作的艰险以及环保守护者的奉献与牺牲。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：热播电视剧《生万物》取材于青海真实的反盗猎英雄，让人们再次关注这场守护藏羚羊的艰难斗争。固定搭配the fight to do sth.意为“为做某事而进行的斗争”，所以使用protect的不定式形式to protect作后置定语。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在该剧的开篇片段中，一名女警和一名山地巡逻员在深夜停下卡车，担心自己意外撞到了藏羚羊。此处修饰名词collision，需用形容词，accident的形容词形式为accidental意为“意外的”。 【58题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：映入眼帘的景象令他们无比震惊，一群藏羚羊惨遭猎杀，尸体散落于冰封的土地上。此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指代事物，用连接代词what，位于句首，首字母需大写。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：突然，六辆卡车的车灯骤然亮起，光束划破黑夜。此处为独立主格结构，逻辑主语beams与cut为主动关系，用现在分词cutting。 【60题详解】 考查连词。句意：枪声四起，随后巡逻员倒在血泊之中。前后分句为顺承并列关系，用并列连词and连接。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：索南达杰是一名藏族干部，返乡担任公职，并在1992年组建了中国第一支武装反盗猎队伍。ethnic Tibetan为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表泛指，ethnic以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。 【62题详解】 考查名词所有格。句意：索南达杰是一名藏族干部，返乡担任公职，并在1992年组建了中国第一支武装反盗猎队伍。此处修饰名词team，需用名词所有格表示所属关系，所以使用China的所有格形式China’s。 【63题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：1994年，他在押送被捕盗猎分子的途中遭到袭击。此处为谓语动词，时间状语In 1994表过去，主语he与attack为被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人场单数，所以谓语动词为was attacked。 【64题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在一场独自对抗十八名歹徒的激烈枪战过后，他中弹牺牲。此处引导定语从句，先行词为gunfight，表抽象地点，从句中缺少地点状语，用关系副词where。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：他牺牲后，扎巴多杰重新整编队伍，并将其命名为“野牦牛队”，这个名字寓意：牦牛本是性情温顺的动物，可一旦领地遭到侵犯，便会无畏奋起反抗。此空位于句首，无提示词，空后为名词，所以此处为介词，结合句意，此处表示让步关系，意为“尽管；虽然”，用介词despite。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，在英语口语课上，外教Adam组织同学们就“Should We Open School Sports Facilities to the Public?”进行分组讨论，请你代表小组发言，内容包括：(1)陈述观点；(2)说明理由。 注意：(1)写作词数应为80左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow classmates, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Dear fellow classmates, On behalf of our group, I’d like to present our view that school sports facilities should be open to the public. It is clear that this practice benefits both the community and our school. Firstly, it provides more convenient places for local citizens to work out regularly, thus improving public health. Secondly, it helps build a closer relationship between our school and the community. A booking system can be used to avoid unnecessary trouble. In conclusion, opening sports facilities not only improves public health but also strengthens the bond between the school and the community. Thank you! (支持的观点) Dear fellow classmates, Our group holds the view that school sports facilities should not be open to the public. First, it may lead to safety issues. With strangers coming into the campus, students’ personal safety can’t be fully guaranteed. Besides, opening facilities to the public will accelerate the wear and tear of equipment, leading to expenses on maintenance and repair. Plus, it will occupy the space that should be used by students for physical activities or sports training. In short, we’re convinced that it is not sensible to open school sports facilities to the public. Thank you!

(运用了现在分词短语作结果状语) 第二节（满分25分) 67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 For years, I had been using delicate experimental tools and advanced lab materials to bring complex scientific concepts to life for my students. Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration. Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments. Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions. At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. Groups gathered around desks piled high with plastic bottles, strings, cardboard boxes, and various waste items. Instead of following strict instructions from expensive commercial kits, they created, tested, and improved their own simple machines. Some used bicycle chains to build a pulley system, while others cut plastic bottles to create a water wheel. When their simple machine successfully lifted a small weight, cheers erupted. Through hands-on creation and repeated attempts, they developed a much deeper understanding of scientific principles. Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before. By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. My students proudly showed off their creations, explaining how they used recycled materials to make something useful. It soon became a hit, inspiring many other classes to collect recycled materials for their own creative activities. The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished. That day, I learned something no teacher training workshop had ever taught me: constraints don’t kill creativity — they set it free. When we involve students as partners in problem-solving, we tap into their creativity and resourcefulness while building genuine investment in their learning. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述身为科学老师作者向来依靠精密器材开展趣味实验。学校预算缩减后实验物资紧缺，作者倍感苦恼。不料学生们主动带来各类废旧物品，合力打造出简易创意实验室。这些废旧材料带来的学习效果，远超以往昂贵的专业实验器材。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：学生们利用废旧物品自主制作简易机械，动手实践中深入领悟科学原理，满怀成就感。 ②由第二段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：班级举办废品创意作品展广受好评，作者领悟到困境反而能激发学生的创造力。 2.续写线索：利用废旧物品创作——深入领悟科学原理——满怀成就感——创意作品展广受好评——作者满感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①聚集：gather/assemble ②解释：explain/interpret ③鼓舞：inspire/motivate/encourage 情绪类 ①自豪地：proudly/with pride ②惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Excuse me, is there a flower shop nearby?
