The ACT and the SAT are the two most widely recognized standardized tests used in the college admissions process in the United States. The ACT and the SAT are both equally accepted and considered at all US colleges and universities, including the Ivy Leagues. Should you take the ACT or the SAT? Some reasons a student might consider the ACT over the SAT: Students can choose how they take the ACT — either on paper or online. The SAT is now only offered online. The ACT is the only standardized test to offer a test answer key — ACT My Answer Key. This means you can choose to get your answer key back with your test to see which questions you got right and which you got wrong. This is an excellent study tool for you to know where you should improve. Students have more choice and flexibility with the ACT. In addition to choosing how to test, students can also choose whether or not they want to add the optional science and writing sections to their testing experience. ACT vs. SAT ACT SAT Exam Sections (in Order) English, Math, Reading, Science (optional), Writing (optional) Reading and Writing, Math Number of Questions Per Section English: 50 questions Math: 45 questions Reading: 36 questions Science (optional): 40 questions Writing (optional): 1 essay Reading and Writing: 54 questions Math: 44 questions Time Per Section English: 35 mins Math: 50 mins Reading: 40 mins Science (optional): 40 mins Writing (optional): 40 mins Reading and Writing: 64 mins (two 32-min modules) Math: 70 mins (two 35-min modules) 21. What can students do with ACT My Answer Key? A. Get expert guidance online. B. Predict test questions. C. Identify their weaknesses. D. Know their scores in advance. 22. Which section is the most time-consuming? A. ACT’s English section. B. SAT’s Math section. C. ACT’s Science section. D. SAT’s Reading and Writing section. 23. What do the ACT and the SAT have in common? A. They test reading skills. B. They have optional tests. C. They ask students to write an essay. D. They offer paper and online tests. B When I handed groceries worth $7 to a person who was asking for help outside a supermarket in Los Angeles, he smiled with appreciation. The look on his face warmed my heart. But later, at a dinner party, as I considered sharing with my friends what happened, I experienced a more complicated reaction. I felt a strange mix of the lingering joy of doing something kind, the anticipation of being praised for the act, and an unpleasant feeling that I couldn’t quite name. In the end, concern about the terrible feeling kept me quiet. A similar emotional reaction prevented me from hitting “Post” on a Facebook update about the positive encounter. After the emotional tug-of-war I experienced, I suspected that other people would recognise this conflict, too. Deep down, many of us would like others to know when we’ve helped a stranger, donated to a charity, or supported a friend. As Oscar Wilde said, “The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously (匿名地) — and have somebody find out.” This line perfectly captures what my colleagues and I call the “do-gooder dilemma”: wanting your good deeds to be known, but not wanting to be the one who makes them known. When people talk about their own good deeds, they are often judged with disapproval, research has shown, particularly if their announcements are public. Self-promotion seems to “taint (玷污)” the goodness of the act, because by definition, an altruistic (利他的) act must involve behaviour that both benefits someone else and is costly to oneself. Self-benefit is not part of the equation. However, a possible solution to the “do-gooder dilemma” is to talk about the good deeds of others — and to let others talk about yours. Doing so might allow us to preserve the warm glow of altruism, avoid the awkwardness of self-promotion and suspicion about one’s motivations, and still encourage altruistic behaviour through social contagion. It could even offer an extra reward: the joy of celebrating someone else. 24. What led to the author’s inner struggle? A. Whether to make his experience known. B. Whether to continue doing good things. C. Whether to keep quiet to please others. D. Whether to motivate others to do good. 25. What do Oscar Wilde’s words reveal about do-gooders? A. Their pursuit of reputation. B. Their desire for reward. C. Their willingness to contribute. D. Their expectation of recognition. 26. What is people’s attitude to self-reporting kind acts? A. Careless. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Doubtful. 27. What is the author’s suggestion on the “do-gooder dilemma”? A. Celebrate the kindness of others. B. Share your kind gestures online. C. Perform anonymous acts of kindness. D. Inspire others to give back to society. C A decade ago, the cheapest way to meet growing demand for electricity was to build more coal or natural gas power plants. It is not the case anymore. Solar and wind power aren’t just better for the climate; they’re also less harmful to people’s health. Yet renewable energy projects face headwinds, especially in the world’s fast-growing developing countries. Despite the clear economic and health advantages of shifting to renewable energy, outdated regulations, political deadlock, and insufficient funding are slowing down its replacement of fossil fuels across much of the world. In the United States, for example, major energy projects take an average of 4.5 years to permit. An even bigger challenge faces developing countries whose economies are growing fast. These countries need to meet soaring energy demand. Yet renewable energy development lags in most of them. The main reason is the high price of financing renewable energy construction. Most of the costs of a renewable energy project arise in the initial construction phase. Savings occur over its lifetime because it has no fuel costs. As a result, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for those projects varies depending on the cost of financing to build them. In many developing countries, wind and solar projects cost more to finance than coal or gas. Fossil projects have a longer history, and financial and policy mechanisms have been developed over decades to lower lender risk for those projects. These include government payment guarantees, stable fuel contracts and long-term revenue deals that help guarantee the lender will be repaid. Both lenders and governments have less experience with renewable energy projects. As a result, these projects often come with weaker government guarantees. This raises the risk to lenders, so they charge higher interest rates, making renewable projects more expensive upfront, even if the projects have lower lifetime costs. To lower borrowing costs, governments and international development banks can take steps to make renewable projects a safer bet for investors. For example, they can keep energy policies stable and use public funds or insurance to cover part of the lenders’ investment risk. 28. What does paragraph 2 focus on about renewable energy projects? A. Their promising future. B. Their existing problems. C. Their potential advantages. D. Their possible consequences. 29. What can be inferred about developing renewable energy according to paragraph 4? A. Keeping pace with the times. B. Putting economic benefits first. C. Daring to explore the unknown. D. Valuing the long-term savings. 30. Which of the following leads to higher risk to lenders? A. A lack of official guarantees. B. The uncertain return prospects. C. The long process of construction. D. Substantial maintenance expenses. 31. Why does the author write the text? A. To issue warnings. B. To analyze reasons. C. To introduce policies. D. To forecast prospects. D In today’s world of digital convenience — where AI, Google, and calculators are at our fingertips — it’s fair to ask: Do students still need to memorize multiplication tables (乘法表), chemical symbols, or formulas? The answer is a definite yes. This is not a call to return to mechanical drilling or learning without understanding. Instead, it is a call to recognize that fluency, intuition, and critical thinking are built on a bedrock of foundational knowledge. Whether it’s math, science, or language, students who have internalized key facts can spot patterns more quickly, engage with complex problems more confidently, and learn new content more efficiently. Take multiplication, for instance. A child who hasn’t memorized basic facts may constantly rely on a calculator — even for simple problems. This slows them down, influences pattern recognition, and often prevents them from grasping higher concepts like fractions or algebra. Similarly, without memorizing basic chemical symbols, students find themselves struggling through chemical equations, unable to focus on the larger concepts because they’re stuck on basics. Importantly, memorization today doesn’t have to mean endless repetition on paper. With the support of technology, active recall and spaced repetition methods — through apps, games, and visual tools — can make foundational learning enjoyable and meaningful. The key is not to memorize for memorization’s sake, but to connect it with understanding and application. Repeated exposure, retrieval practice, and consistent engagement lead to better retention (保持), which in turn enables more complex thinking. In this way, memorization is not the enemy of understanding, but a gateway to it. So why do people resist memorization? Part of it comes from people’s confusing memorization with blind, context-ignoring repetition and rote learning (死记硬背). Another part is the genuine desire to create more engaging and inquiry-driven classrooms. But these goals aren’t mutually exclusive (排斥的). We don’t have to choose between memorizing and thinking. The most effective learning environments do both — they ground students in knowledge and empower them to explore and apply it. 32. What’s the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To support critical thinking. B. To criticize mechanical drilling. C. To highlight the value of basic knowledge. D. To doubt the importance of memorization. 33. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Using a calculator. B. Relying on basic facts. C. Memorizing multiplication tables. D. Not understanding simple problems. 34. What does the author think of memorization? A. It means constant repetition. B. It contradicts understanding. C. It doesn’t make for engaging classrooms. D. It contributes to complex thinking indeed. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Memorization Still Matters B. Why Rote Learning Is Outdated C. Memorization Can Be Enjoyable D. Memorization Isn’t Rote Learning 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Follow your passion” is perhaps the most repeated phrase in modern career advice. It appears in graduation ceremony speeches, self-help books, and inspirational social media posts. ___36___ It suggests that if you identify what you love and pursue it, money and happiness will inevitably follow. However, for many young professionals and students, this advice is not just misleading. It is actively harmful. The pressure to identify a singular, life-defining career path before you have even entered the workforce creates enormous anxiety. ___37___ It is something you should cultivate (培养). The fundamental problem with the “passion hypothesis (假设)” is that it ignores basic economics. It disregards the laws of supply and demand. ___38___ These usually include sports, entertainment, creative arts, and leisure. Conversely, the job market has a high demand for roles that few people find inherently thrilling, such as supply chain logistics, database management, or corporate tax law. When you advise an entire generation to follow their passion, you flood specific industries with desperate applicants. ___39___ Meanwhile, high-growth sectors face talent shortages. Ignoring market reality does not make you noble. It often makes you underemployed. We tend to view passion as the spark that starts the fire. In reality, passion is often the heat generated by the fire itself. Research into workplace satisfaction suggests that people rarely start their careers loving the work. ___40___ A junior graphic designer might hate the boredom of formatting brochures. However, an art director who has mastered the craft enjoys creative freedom and high pay. The passion came after the hard work, not before. A. The message is appealing in its simplicity. B. Most people are enthusiastic about similar things. C. Instead, they learn to love it as they get better at it. D. However, passion is rarely something you find fully formed. E. Instead of asking “What do I love?”, try asking different questions. F. This drives down wages and creates unsteady working conditions. G. For most of human history, work was viewed as a means of survival. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One evening, while mindlessly scrolling through videos, I came across the 5-4-3-2-1 method. The ____41____ was simple. When you feel like procrastinating (拖延), just count down from five and then do the thing. I figured it was worth a shot because I had nothing to ____42____. The next morning, I put it to the ____43____. When the alarm went off, instead of hitting the snooze button, I counted down in my mind: 5-4-3-2-1. And I got up! That was my first tiny ____44____, which made me wonder — What if I could ____45____ this to other parts of my life? First on my list was exercise, and pickleball came to mind. I signed up for lessons, and it turned out to be one of the best ____46____ I had ever made. It was fun, and it gave me a chance to ____47____ with others and step out of my routine. It wasn’t just my body that needed ____48____, though. My creative side had been ____49____ for years, and I missed writing. So, I ____50____ fifteen minutes a day to write. It wasn’t about producing perfect work; it was just about getting words on a page. ____51____, these little changes started to snowball. They weren’t ____52____ transformations, but they were steps in the right ____53____. The biggest lesson I learned was that change doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can start with something as simple as ____54____ fifteen minutes a day — doing something that lights up your soul. You don’t have to ____55____ your entire life at once to feel better — you just need to start. 41. A. purpose B. reason C. concept D. order 42. A. create B. demand C. lose D. follow 43. A. test B. distance C. choice D. adventure 44. A. memory B. victory C. dream D. advantage 45. A. turn B. limit C. compare D. apply 46. A. decisions B. profits C. wishes D. rules 47. A. compete B. debate C. connect D. side 48. A. attention B. space C. recovery D. energy 49. A. refused B. ignored C. explored D. assessed 50. A. picked up B. put off C. made out D. set aside 51. A. Secretly B. Gradually C. Officially D. Strangely 52. A. beneficial B. grand C. scientific D. ordinary 53. A. shape B. attitude C. direction D. atmosphere 54. A. tracking B. counting C. killing D. spending 55.

Sitting by the window, he fixed his mind on the shiny, carbon-fiber racing bike displayed in the downtown shop window. It cost $2,000, and since the next week was his 16th birthday, he was certain his father, Michael — the owner of the diner — would easily agree to buy it. When Michael finally appeared from the kitchen, he smiled and touched Jackson’s hair. The family began their meal, but the peace was short-lived. An elderly waiter named James, wearing a faded blue uniform, approached the table to refill their water glasses. His back was bent, and his movements were slow and stiff. As he poured, his hand trembled slightly, spilling a few drops of ice water onto the white tablecloth. Jackson jumped up, his knife knocking loudly against the plate. “What is wrong with you?” he shouted. “Can’t you even pour water without making a mess? Are you doing this on purpose?” The surrounding diners turned to stare. James’s face flushed, and his lips parted as if to apologize, but no sound came out. “Jackson, sit down,” Michael ordered. “James has worked here for ten years. He deserves more respect than that.” Jackson sat back into his seat, frowning. “He’s too slow. He’s ruining the feeling.” Michael looked at his son, and his expression grew serious. “You want that $2,000 bike? Fine. But I’m not paying for it entirely. You need to earn half of it. From this weekend, you work here. If you can earn $1,000, I’ll pay the rest.” Jackson was shocked, but the tough look in his father’s eyes told him this wasn’t a compromise. The weekend was a nightmare. The diner was chaotic, and Jackson, wearing an ill-fitting uniform, struggled to keep up. He nearly tripped over the carpet, spilling a tray of sodas. James was there instantly, mopping the floor with practiced ease. “Keep the tray at your waist, Jackson,” he whispered gently. “Walk slower, and watch where you’re going.” Throughout the shift, Jackson made mistake after mistake — wrong orders, forgotten bills, dropped plates. Every time, James stepped in to fix it, taking the blame or comforting the angry customers. 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。 “Why do you keep helping me?” Jackson asked during a break. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing this, Jackson decided to give James and his son a hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三预测（二） 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，务必将自己的个人信息填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Tell you what — if you pay the first and last month’s rent today, I can do $775. W: $775 sounds okay. Thank you for being flexible. M: Sure. Let’s sign the agreement together. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. What does “automation anxiety” refer to? A. Fear of job replacement. B. Worry about machine errors. C. Stress from learning new skills. 15. What does the man think AI development will lead to? A. Changes in lifestyle. B. Human-robot cooperation. C. Disappearance of job market. 16. What is the man’s attitude to the future? A. Critical. B. Concerned. C. Optimistic. 【答案】14. A 15. B 16. C 【解析】 【原文】M: Hey, have you read that article about the new AI robots in factories? It says they’re becoming incredibly efficient. W: Yes, I saw it. It’s impressive, but honestly, it makes me a bit worried. Do you think robots will eventually take over most human jobs? M: That’s a common fear, often called “automation anxiety”. In some repetitive fields, robots are indeed replacing workers. They’re faster, don’t get tired, and make fewer errors. W: Exactly! So, what about jobs that require thinking? Like doctors, teachers, or artists? Can a machine truly understand human emotions or creativity? M: That’s the key point. While AI can analyze data and even create basic art, it lacks genuine consciousness and empathy. I believe in the future robots and humans will work together. W: What do you mean? M: I mean robots will handle dangerous, dull, or data-heavy tasks, freeing humans to focus on what we do best: strategic thinking, innovation, and personal interaction. The job market will change, but not disappear. We’ll need to learn new skills to work alongside them. W: So, you’re saying robots are tools, but not replacements. We need to adapt, but not just fear the change. M: Precisely. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What is the main purpose of a gap year? A. To gain experiences. B. To make friends. C. To prepare for graduation. 18. What did Jake do in South America? A. He did a part-time job. B. He joined a volunteer project. C. He taught English to local kids. 19. How long did Jake stay in South America? A. For ten months. B. For eight months. C. For half a year. 20. What did Jake try to express in the end? A. His gains. B. His efforts. C. His dreams. 【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: A gap year is a period, typically a year, when students take a break from formal education. It usually happens between high school and college. The purpose is not just to relax, but to gain new experiences, skills, and a broader perspective on the world. Instead of studying in classrooms, students might travel, volunteer, or work. This break can help them become more independent, clarify their career goals, and return to studies feeling more motivated and mature. Jake, a high school graduate from California, felt unsure about his college major. He decided to take a gap year to explore his interest in environmental science. He got involved in a volunteer program in South America. For six months, he lived in a small village helping with a forest project. After returning, Jake worked part-time at an environmental non-profit organization in his hometown. Reflecting on the year, Jake said, “I went from someone being unsure in a classroom to someone who could solve real problems. It was the most challenging but meaningful year of my life. I found my purpose.” 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A What are the ACT and the SAT? The ACT and the SAT are the two most widely recognized standardized tests used in the college admissions process in the United States. The ACT and the SAT are both equally accepted and considered at all US colleges and universities, including the Ivy Leagues. Should you take the ACT or the SAT? Some reasons a student might consider the ACT over the SAT: Students can choose how they take the ACT — either on paper or online. The SAT is now only offered online. The ACT is the only standardized test to offer a test answer key — ACT My Answer Key. This means you can choose to get your answer key back with your test to see which questions you got right and which you got wrong. This is an excellent study tool for you to know where you should improve. Students have more choice and flexibility with the ACT. In addition to choosing how to test, students can also choose whether or not they want to add the optional science and writing sections to their testing experience. ACT vs. SAT ACT SAT Exam Sections (in Order) English, Math, Reading, Science (optional), Writing (optional) Reading and Writing, Math Number of Questions Per Section English: 50 questions Math: 45 questions Reading: 36 questions Science (optional): 40 questions Writing (optional): 1 essay Reading and Writing: 54 questions Math: 44 questions Time Per Section English: 35 mins Math: 50 mins Reading: 40 mins Science (optional): 40 mins Writing (optional): 40 mins Reading and Writing: 64 mins (two 32-min modules) Math: 70 mins (two 35-min modules) 21. What can students do with ACT My Answer Key? A. Get expert guidance online. B. Predict test questions. C. Identify their weaknesses. D. Know their scores in advance. 22. Which section is the most time-consuming? A. ACT’s English section. B. SAT’s Math section. C. ACT’s Science section. D. SAT’s Reading and Writing section. 23. What do the ACT and the SAT have in common? A. They test reading skills. B. They have optional tests. C. They ask students to write an essay. D. They offer paper and online tests. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了美国大学入学考试ACT与SAT均受全美高校认可，对比二者题型、题量和用时，着重说明ACT在考试形式、附加科目等方面优势更多。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Should you take the ACT or the SAT?中“This means you can choose to get your answer key back with your test to see which questions you got right and which you got wrong. This is an excellent study tool for you to know where you should improve.(这意味着你可以选择在考试结束后收到你的答案解析，从而了解哪些问题答对了，哪些答错了。这对你进行学习很有帮助，能让你清楚自己哪些方面需要改进。)”可知，ACT答案密钥能让学生看到自己的对错题，明确需要提升的地方，也就是找出自身的薄弱环节。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文末对比表格“Time Per Section”列中：ACT英语：35分钟；ACT科学：40分钟；SAT阅读写作：64分钟；SAT数学：70分钟（两个35分钟模块）。由此可知，对比所有考试部分的时长，SAT数学部分总时长70分钟，是所有单项中最耗时的。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格信息内容可知，从考试科目来看，ACT包含独立的Reading（阅读）部分，SAT包含Reading and Writing（阅读与写作）部分，两者都考查学生的阅读能力。 B When I handed groceries worth $7 to a person who was asking for help outside a supermarket in Los Angeles, he smiled with appreciation. The look on his face warmed my heart. But later, at a dinner party, as I considered sharing with my friends what happened, I experienced a more complicated reaction. I felt a strange mix of the lingering joy of doing something kind, the anticipation of being praised for the act, and an unpleasant feeling that I couldn’t quite name. In the end, concern about the terrible feeling kept me quiet. A similar emotional reaction prevented me from hitting “Post” on a Facebook update about the positive encounter. After the emotional tug-of-war I experienced, I suspected that other people would recognise this conflict, too. Deep down, many of us would like others to know when we’ve helped a stranger, donated to a charity, or supported a friend. As Oscar Wilde said, “The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously (匿名地) — and have somebody find out.” This line perfectly captures what my colleagues and I call the “do-gooder dilemma”: wanting your good deeds to be known, but not wanting to be the one who makes them known. When people talk about their own good deeds, they are often judged with disapproval, research has shown, particularly if their announcements are public. Self-promotion seems to “taint (玷污)” the goodness of the act, because by definition, an altruistic (利他的) act must involve behaviour that both benefits someone else and is costly to oneself. Self-benefit is not part of the equation. However, a possible solution to the “do-gooder dilemma” is to talk about the good deeds of others — and to let others talk about yours. Doing so might allow us to preserve the warm glow of altruism, avoid the awkwardness of self-promotion and suspicion about one’s motivations, and still encourage altruistic behaviour through social contagion. It could even offer an extra reward: the joy of celebrating someone else. 24. What led to the author’s inner struggle? A. Whether to make his experience known. B. Whether to continue doing good things. C. Whether to keep quiet to please others. D. Whether to motivate others to do good. 25. What do Oscar Wilde’s words reveal about do-gooders? A. Their pursuit of reputation. B. Their desire for reward. C. Their willingness to contribute. D. Their expectation of recognition. 26. What is people’s attitude to self-reporting kind acts? A. Careless. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Doubtful. 27. What is the author’s suggestion on the “do-gooder dilemma”? A. Celebrate the kindness of others. B. Share your kind gestures online. C. Perform anonymous acts of kindness. D. Inspire others to give back to society. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者助人后纠结是否分享经历，引出行善者困境：期盼善行被知晓却不愿自我宣扬，文末提出化解办法：多称赞他人善举，由旁人宣扬自己的善行。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But later, at a dinner party, as I considered sharing with my friends what happened, I experienced a more complicated reaction. I felt a strange mix of the lingering joy of doing something kind, the anticipation of being praised for the act, and an unpleasant feeling that I couldn’t quite name. In the end, concern about the terrible feeling kept me quiet. A similar emotional reaction prevented me from hitting “Post” on a Facebook update about the positive encounter.(但后来，在一次晚宴上，当我考虑向朋友们讲述所发生的事情时，我却有了更为复杂的情绪反应。我感受到了一种奇特的混合感受：既有做好事所带来的持续的喜悦，又有期待因这一行为而受到称赞的期盼，还有一种难以确切描述的不愉快感觉。最终，对这种糟糕感觉的担忧让我保持了沉默。在脸书上更新关于这次积极经历的内容时，类似的这种情绪反应也阻止了我点击“发布”按钮。)”可知，作者的内心挣扎源于做完好事后，纠结是否要将这段经历告诉朋友或发布到社交平台，这正是全文“行善者困境”的个人缩影。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As Oscar Wilde said, “The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously (匿名地) — and have somebody find out.” This line perfectly captures what my colleagues and I call the “do-gooder dilemma”: wanting your good deeds to be known, but not wanting to be the one who makes them known.(正如奥斯卡·王尔德所说：“世界上最美好的感觉莫过于默默做好事——然后有人会发现这件事。”这句话完美地概括了我和同事们所说的“行善者困境”：希望自己的善举能为人所知，但又不想成为那个让这些善举为人所知的人。)”可推知，王尔德的话精准揭示了行善者的普遍心理：他们并非不希望自己的善行被看见，只是不愿主动自我宣扬，核心是对他人认可的合理期待。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When people talk about their own good deeds, they are often judged with disapproval, research has shown, particularly if their announcements are public. Self-promotion seems to “taint (玷污)” the goodness of the act, because by definition, an altruistic (利他的) act must involve behaviour that both benefits someone else and is costly to oneself.(研究表明，当人们谈论自己的善举时，往往会遭到他人的不认可，尤其是当他们是在公开场合进行宣传时。自我宣传似乎会“玷污”善举的美德，因为从定义上讲，一种利他的行为必须既对他人有益又需要自己付出代价。)”可推知，研究明确表明，人们对主动宣扬自己善行的行为持不赞成的负面态度，认为这种自我宣传会玷污善行本身的纯粹性。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, a possible solution to the “do-gooder dilemma” is to talk about the good deeds of others — and to let others talk about yours. Doing so might allow us to preserve the warm glow of altruism, avoid the awkwardness of self-promotion and suspicion about one’s motivations, and still encourage altruistic behaviour through social contagion. It could even offer an extra reward: the joy of celebrating someone else.( 然而，解决“行善者困境”的一种可能方法是谈论他人的善举——同时让他人也谈论自己的善举。这样做或许能让我们保持利他的温暖感觉，避免自我宣传带来的尴尬以及人们对动机的怀疑，并且还能通过社会感染的方式鼓励利他的行为。它甚至可能带来额外的收获：庆祝他人善举所带来的喜悦。)”可知，作者提出的核心解决方案是互相宣扬他人的善行：既避免了自我宣传的尴尬，又能保留利他主义的温暖，同时还能通过社会传染鼓励更多人向善。 C A decade ago, the cheapest way to meet growing demand for electricity was to build more coal or natural gas power plants. It is not the case anymore. Solar and wind power aren’t just better for the climate; they’re also less harmful to people’s health. Yet renewable energy projects face headwinds, especially in the world’s fast-growing developing countries. Despite the clear economic and health advantages of shifting to renewable energy, outdated regulations, political deadlock, and insufficient funding are slowing down its replacement of fossil fuels across much of the world. In the United States, for example, major energy projects take an average of 4.5 years to permit. An even bigger challenge faces developing countries whose economies are growing fast. These countries need to meet soaring energy demand. Yet renewable energy development lags in most of them. The main reason is the high price of financing renewable energy construction. Most of the costs of a renewable energy project arise in the initial construction phase. Savings occur over its lifetime because it has no fuel costs. As a result, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for those projects varies depending on the cost of financing to build them. In many developing countries, wind and solar projects cost more to finance than coal or gas. Fossil projects have a longer history, and financial and policy mechanisms have been developed over decades to lower lender risk for those projects. These include government payment guarantees, stable fuel contracts and long-term revenue deals that help guarantee the lender will be repaid. Both lenders and governments have less experience with renewable energy projects. As a result, these projects often come with weaker government guarantees. This raises the risk to lenders, so they charge higher interest rates, making renewable projects more expensive upfront, even if the projects have lower lifetime costs. To lower borrowing costs, governments and international development banks can take steps to make renewable projects a safer bet for investors. For example, they can keep energy policies stable and use public funds or insurance to cover part of the lenders’ investment risk. 28. What does paragraph 2 focus on about renewable energy projects? A. Their promising future. B. Their existing problems. C. Their potential advantages. D. Their possible consequences. 29. What can be inferred about developing renewable energy according to paragraph 4? A. Keeping pace with the times. B. Putting economic benefits first. C. Daring to explore the unknown. D. Valuing the long-term savings. 30. Which of the following leads to higher risk to lenders? A. A lack of official guarantees. B. The uncertain return prospects. C. The long process of construction. D. Substantial maintenance expenses. 31. Why does the author write the text? A. To issue warnings. B. To analyze reasons. C. To introduce policies. D. To forecast prospects. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了风电光伏环保优势突出，但在发展中国家推广受阻，核心难题是融资成本偏高，根源在于缺少完善的政策担保，文章也给出了降低借贷成本的可行对策。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Yet renewable energy projects face headwinds, especially in the world’s fast-growing developing countries. Despite the clear economic and health advantages of shifting to renewable energy, outdated regulations, political deadlock, and insufficient funding are slowing down its replacement of fossil fuels across much of the world.(然而，可再生能源项目却面临重重阻碍，尤其是在世界上快速发展的发展中国家。尽管向可再生能源转型有着明显的经济和健康优势，但过时的法规、政治僵局以及资金不足等问题正在阻碍其在全球大部分地区的化石燃料替代进程。)”可知，第二段主要论述了关于可再生能源项目现存的问题。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Most of the costs of a renewable energy project arise in the initial construction phase. Savings occur over its lifetime because it has no fuel costs.(可再生能源项目的大部分成本出现在初始建设阶段。由于其在整个使用过程中没有燃料成本，所以会带来节省。)”可推知，发展可再生能源应该重视长期的成本节约。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“As a result, these projects often come with weaker government guarantees. This raises the risk to lenders, so they charge higher interest rates, making renewable projects more expensive upfront, even if the projects have lower lifetime costs.(因此，这些项目往往得到的政府保障也较弱。这增加了贷款方的风险，所以他们会收取更高的利率，使得可再生能源项目在前期成本更高，即便其长期成本更低。)”可知，可再生能源项目的政府担保力度较弱，这是导致贷方风险升高的直接原因。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章先指出可再生能源的优势，再提出其全球推广受阻的问题，随后重点深入分析了发展中国家融资成本高的核心原因（化石能源有成熟的风险保障机制，而可再生能源缺乏政府担保），最后简要给出解决方向。全文的核心是分析可再生能源发展受阻的深层原因。 D In today’s world of digital convenience — where AI, Google, and calculators are at our fingertips — it’s fair to ask: Do students still need to memorize multiplication tables (乘法表), chemical symbols, or formulas? The answer is a definite yes. This is not a call to return to mechanical drilling or learning without understanding. Instead, it is a call to recognize that fluency, intuition, and critical thinking are built on a bedrock of foundational knowledge. Whether it’s math, science, or language, students who have internalized key facts can spot patterns more quickly, engage with complex problems more confidently, and learn new content more efficiently. Take multiplication, for instance. A child who hasn’t memorized basic facts may constantly rely on a calculator — even for simple problems. This slows them down, influences pattern recognition, and often prevents them from grasping higher concepts like fractions or algebra. Similarly, without memorizing basic chemical symbols, students find themselves struggling through chemical equations, unable to focus on the larger concepts because they’re stuck on basics. Importantly, memorization today doesn’t have to mean endless repetition on paper. With the support of technology, active recall and spaced repetition methods — through apps, games, and visual tools — can make foundational learning enjoyable and meaningful. The key is not to memorize for memorization’s sake, but to connect it with understanding and application. Repeated exposure, retrieval practice, and consistent engagement lead to better retention (保持), which in turn enables more complex thinking. In this way, memorization is not the enemy of understanding, but a gateway to it. So why do people resist memorization? Part of it comes from people’s confusing memorization with blind, context-ignoring repetition and rote learning (死记硬背). Another part is the genuine desire to create more engaging and inquiry-driven classrooms. But these goals aren’t mutually exclusive (排斥的). We don’t have to choose between memorizing and thinking. The most effective learning environments do both — they ground students in knowledge and empower them to explore and apply it. 32. What’s the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To support critical thinking. B. To criticize mechanical drilling. C. To highlight the value of basic knowledge. D. To doubt the importance of memorization. 33. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Using a calculator. B. Relying on basic facts. C. Memorizing multiplication tables. D. Not understanding simple problems. 34. What does the author think of memorization? A. It means constant repetition. B. It contradicts understanding. C. It doesn’t make for engaging classrooms. D. It contributes to complex thinking indeed. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Memorization Still Matters B. Why Rote Learning Is Outdated C. Memorization Can Be Enjoyable D. Memorization Isn’t Rote Learning 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了在数字时代，记忆基础知识仍然具有重要意义，并指出记忆与理解并不矛盾，而是通向理解的途径。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is not a call to return to mechanical drilling or learning without understanding. Instead, it is a call to recognize that fluency, intuition, and critical thinking are built on a bedrock of foundational knowledge. Whether it’s math, science, or language, students who have internalized key facts can spot patterns more quickly, engage with complex problems more confidently, and learn new content more efficiently. (这并不是呼吁回到机械式的训练或不求甚解的学习。相反，这是在呼吁人们认识到：流畅性、直觉和批判性思维是建立在基础知识基石之上的。无论是在数学、科学还是语言方面，那些已将关键事实内化的学生能够更快地发现模式，更自信地应对复杂问题，并且更高效地学习新内容)”可知，第二段的目的是强调基础知识的重要性。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“A child who hasn’t memorized basic facts may constantly rely on a calculator — even for simple problems. This slows them down, influences pattern recognition, and often prevents them from grasping higher concepts like fractions or algebra. (一个没有记住基本事实的孩子可能会不断依赖计算器——即使是简单的问题也是如此。这会减慢他们的速度，影响模式识别，并常常阻碍他们掌握分数或代数等更高层次的概念)”可知，This指代的是前文提到的“依赖计算器”这一行为。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The key is not to memorize for memorization’s sake, but to connect it with understanding and application. (关键不是为了记忆而记忆，而是将记忆与理解和应用联系起来)”以及第五段中“Repeated exposure, retrieval practice, and consistent engagement lead to better retention (保持), which in turn enables more complex thinking. (反复接触、提取练习和持续参与能够更好地保持记忆，这反过来又有助于更复杂的思考)”可知，作者认为记忆有助于更复杂的思考。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“In today’s world of digital convenience — where AI, Google, and calculators are at our fingertips — it’s fair to ask: Do students still need to memorize multiplication tables (乘法表), chemical symbols, or formulas? The answer is a definite yes. (在当今数字便利的世界里——人工智能、谷歌和计算器触手可及——我们有理由问：学生还需要记忆乘法表、化学符号或公式吗？答案是肯定的)”、第二段中“Instead, it is a call to recognize that fluency, intuition, and critical thinking are built on a bedrock of foundational knowledge. (相反，这是在呼吁人们认识到：流畅性、直觉和批判性思维是建立在基础知识基石之上的)”和第五段中“In this way, memorization is not the enemy of understanding, but a gateway to it. (这样，记忆不是理解的敌人，而是通向理解的途径)”可知，文章第一段提出问题，随后作者给出肯定答案，并论证了记忆基础知识的重要性。故A项“Why Memorization Still Matters (为什么记忆仍然重要)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Follow your passion” is perhaps the most repeated phrase in modern career advice. It appears in graduation ceremony speeches, self-help books, and inspirational social media posts. ___36___ It suggests that if you identify what you love and pursue it, money and happiness will inevitably follow. However, for many young professionals and students, this advice is not just misleading. It is actively harmful. The pressure to identify a singular, life-defining career path before you have even entered the workforce creates enormous anxiety. ___37___ It is something you should cultivate (培养). The fundamental problem with the “passion hypothesis (假设)” is that it ignores basic economics. It disregards the laws of supply and demand. ___38___ These usually include sports, entertainment, creative arts, and leisure. Conversely, the job market has a high demand for roles that few people find inherently thrilling, such as supply chain logistics, database management, or corporate tax law. When you advise an entire generation to follow their passion, you flood specific industries with desperate applicants. ___39___ Meanwhile, high-growth sectors face talent shortages. Ignoring market reality does not make you noble. It often makes you underemployed. We tend to view passion as the spark that starts the fire. In reality, passion is often the heat generated by the fire itself. Research into workplace satisfaction suggests that people rarely start their careers loving the work. ___40___ A junior graphic designer might hate the boredom of formatting brochures. However, an art director who has mastered the craft enjoys creative freedom and high pay. The passion came after the hard work, not before. A. The message is appealing in its simplicity. B. Most people are enthusiastic about similar things. C. Instead, they learn to love it as they get better at it. D. However, passion is rarely something you find fully formed. E. Instead of asking “What do I love?”, try asking different questions. F. This drives down wages and creates unsteady working conditions. G. For most of human history, work was viewed as a means of survival. 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. B 39. F 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要批判“追随热爱择业”的建议，它违背市场供需规律易致就业窘境，激情并非天生，而是在深耕工作后逐步养成。 【36题详解】 上文““Follow your passion” is perhaps the most repeated phrase in modern career advice. It appears in graduation ceremony speeches, self-help books, and inspirational social media posts.(“追随你的热情”或许是现代职业指导中最常被提及的一句话。它出现在毕业典礼上的演讲、自助类书籍以及鼓舞人心的社交媒体帖子中。)”指出“追随激情”是现代职业建议中最常被重复的短语，出现在各种场合；下文“It suggests that if you identify what you love and pursue it, money and happiness will inevitably follow.( 它的意思是，如果你能确定自己热爱什么并为之努力，那么金钱和幸福自然就会随之而来。)”用一句话清晰解释了这个建议的核心逻辑：找到热爱并追求，财富和幸福就会随之而来。A选项“The message is appealing in its simplicity.( 这个信息因其简单而极具吸引力。)”完美承上启下：既解释了为什么这个建议会被广泛传播（简单易懂），又自然引出后文对其核心逻辑的阐述。 【37题详解】 上文“The pressure to identify a singular, life-defining career path before you have even entered the workforce creates enormous anxiety.( 在你甚至还未踏入职场之前，就要求确定一条独一无二、能定义你一生的职业道路，这种压力会带来极大的焦虑。)”批判了“必须在进入职场前就确定唯一人生职业道路”的压力；下文“It is something you should cultivate (培养).( 这是你应该培养的品质。)”直接给出核心观点：“激情是你应该去培养的东西”。D选项“However, passion is rarely something you find fully formed.( 然而，激情很少是你找到时就已经完全成型的。)”是前后文的关键转折：它否定了“激情是现成的、可以被找到的”这一错误认知，为后文“激情需要培养”的观点做了完美铺垫。 【38题详解】 上文“The fundamental problem with the “passion hypothesis (假设)” is that it ignores basic economics. It disregards the laws of supply and demand.(“激情假说”的根本问题在于它忽视了基本的经济学原理。它忽略了供求法则。)”指出“激情假设”的根本问题是忽略了供需法则下文“These usually include sports, entertainment, creative arts, and leisure.( 这些通常包括体育、娱乐、创意艺术和休闲活动。)”列举了体育、娱乐、创意艺术等行业，并用“Conversely（相反）”引出市场需求高但少有人热爱的职业。B选项“Most people are enthusiastic about similar things.( 大多数人对类似的事情充满热情。)”是连接“供需法则” 和后文举例的桥梁：正因为大多数人的热情都集中在少数几个行业，才导致了这些行业供给过剩，而其他行业需求不足的供需失衡现象。 【39题详解】 上文“When you advise an entire generation to follow their passion, you flood specific industries with desperate applicants.( 当你劝说整个一代人去追随自己的激情时，你就会让特定行业涌入大量急切的求职者。)”说“建议整整一代人追随激情会让特定行业挤满绝望的求职者”；下文“Meanwhile, high-growth sectors face talent shortages.( 与此同时，高增长行业却面临人才短缺的问题。)”说“与此同时，高增长行业面临人才短缺”。F选项“This drives down wages and creates unsteady working conditions.( 这会压低工资并创造不稳定的工作条件。)” 是前文“行业求职者过剩”直接导致的负面后果，形成了“错误建议→供给过剩→恶劣工作条件”的完整逻辑链，与后文“其他行业人才短缺”形成鲜明对比。 【40题详解】 上文“In reality, passion is often the heat generated by the fire itself. Research into workplace satisfaction suggests that people rarely start their careers loving the work.( 但实际上，激情往往是火苗自身所产生的热量。对工作满意度的研究表明，人们很少在职业生涯开始时就热爱自己的工作。)”提出核心观点：“激情往往是火本身产生的热量，而不是点燃火的火花”，并指出“人们很少在职业生涯开始时就热爱这份工作”；下文“A junior graphic designer might hate the boredom of formatting brochures.( 一位初级平面设计师可能会讨厌排版宣传册的枯燥乏味。)”用初级设计师和艺术总监的例子证明了这一观点。C选项“Instead, they learn to love it as they get better at it.( 相反，他们会随着自己变得越来越擅长这份工作而学会热爱它。)”是对前文观点的直接阐释，同时为后文的举例做了铺垫，完美呼应了本段主旨：激情是努力工作的结果，而非前提。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One evening, while mindlessly scrolling through videos, I came across the 5-4-3-2-1 method. The ____41____ was simple. When you feel like procrastinating (拖延), just count down from five and then do the thing. I figured it was worth a shot because I had nothing to ____42____. The next morning, I put it to the ____43____. When the alarm went off, instead of hitting the snooze button, I counted down in my mind: 5-4-3-2-1. And I got up! That was my first tiny ____44____, which made me wonder — What if I could ____45____ this to other parts of my life? First on my list was exercise, and pickleball came to mind. I signed up for lessons, and it turned out to be one of the best ____46____ I had ever made. It was fun, and it gave me a chance to ____47____ with others and step out of my routine.

Sitting by the window, he fixed his mind on the shiny, carbon-fiber racing bike displayed in the downtown shop window. It cost $2,000, and since the next week was his 16th birthday, he was certain his father, Michael — the owner of the diner — would easily agree to buy it. When Michael finally appeared from the kitchen, he smiled and touched Jackson’s hair. The family began their meal, but the peace was short-lived. An elderly waiter named James, wearing a faded blue uniform, approached the table to refill their water glasses. His back was bent, and his movements were slow and stiff. As he poured, his hand trembled slightly, spilling a few drops of ice water onto the white tablecloth. Jackson jumped up, his knife knocking loudly against the plate. “What is wrong with you?” he shouted. “Can’t you even pour water without making a mess? Are you doing this on purpose?” The surrounding diners turned to stare. James’s face flushed, and his lips parted as if to apologize, but no sound came out. “Jackson, sit down,” Michael ordered. “James has worked here for ten years. He deserves more respect than that.” Jackson sat back into his seat, frowning. “He’s too slow. He’s ruining the feeling.” Michael looked at his son, and his expression grew serious. “You want that $2,000 bike? Fine. But I’m not paying for it entirely. You need to earn half of it. From this weekend, you work here. If you can earn $1,000, I’ll pay the rest.” Jackson was shocked, but the tough look in his father’s eyes told him this wasn’t a compromise. The weekend was a nightmare. The diner was chaotic, and Jackson, wearing an ill-fitting uniform, struggled to keep up. He nearly tripped over the carpet, spilling a tray of sodas. James was there instantly, mopping the floor with practiced ease. “Keep the tray at your waist, Jackson,” he whispered gently. “Walk slower, and watch where you’re going.” Throughout the shift, Jackson made mistake after mistake — wrong orders, forgotten bills, dropped plates. Every time, James stepped in to fix it, taking the blame or comforting the angry customers. 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。 “Why do you keep helping me?” Jackson asked during a break. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing this, Jackson decided to give James and his son a hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “Why do you keep helping me?” Jackson asked during a break. James glanced toward the window. “My son, Ethan, he’s your age,” he said softly, his voice carrying a weight that made Jackson lean in. “Last year, he was diagnosed with leukemia. The treatments are expensive. I need this job, Jackson. More than you know.” Jackson’s eyes widened. “That’s why you’re always so careful,” Jackson murmured. “You can’t afford to lose this job.” James nodded and said, “And because I remember what it’s like to be young and make mistakes. My Ethan — he’s brave, but he gets scared. When I see you struggling, I see him.” Hearing this, Jackson decided to give James and his son a hand. On Monday night, Jackson walked up to James. He placed an envelope in the old man’s rough hand. Inside was $800 — every cent Jackson had saved and earned. “James,” Jackson said, his voice trembling slightly. “Please take this for your son. I don’t need the bike.” James stared at the money, tears welling up in his eyes. From across the room, Michael watched his son. He didn’t step in to stop Jackson. He simply smiled, knowing that his son had just received the most valuable gift of all: empathy. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述杰克逊在餐厅对服务生詹姆斯粗鲁无礼，父亲迈克尔要求他打工赚取一半购车费用作为惩罚。周末工作中，杰克逊频频出错，詹姆斯总是默默相助并耐心指导。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写詹姆斯向杰克逊吐露心声——他之所以需要这份工作，是因为儿子伊森身患白血病，治疗费用高昂，而杰克逊的挣扎让他想起自己的孩子。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写杰克逊被深深触动，将自己积攒的钱全部送给詹姆斯，并决定放弃自行车。父亲目睹这一切，欣慰于儿子获得了比物质更珍贵的同理心。 2. 续写线索：詹姆斯吐露真相——杰克逊深受触动——杰克逊慷慨相助——父亲感到欣慰——领悟成长真谛 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①低声诉说：murmur/whisper ②盯着看：stare at/gaze at 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/frightened ②颤抖：tremble/quiver 【点睛】[高分句型1] “My son, Ethan, he’s your age,” he said softly, his voice carrying a weight that made Jackson lean in.(运用了独立主格结构作伴随状语和that引导的定语从句) [高分句型2] He simply smiled, knowing that his son had just received the most valuable gift of all: empathy.(运用了现在分词knowing作伴随状语和that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，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你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?
