Her teacher, Mr. Hale, assigned a task: build a device to solve a local problem. Mia chose her neighborhood’s messy recycling bins — people often mixed plastic, paper, and glass, making recycling difficult and time-consuming. For weeks, Mia tested sensors and cameras, struggling to make the robot distinguish wet paper from dry and broken glass from whole. Finally, her trash-sorting robot worked in lab tests, but at a community fair, opinions were at odds. Ms. Lopez, a retired environmentalist, spoke highly of it: “This could make recycling easier for everyone.” However, Mr. Torres, a local grocery store owner, argued, “If we rely on machines, we’ll stop caring about where our waste goes.” He also noted the robot couldn’t handle items like wet paper, which might cause more problems. Mia was confused. She decided to run a two-week experiment. In the first week, she placed the robot next to the main recycling bin. The result showed correctly sorted trash jumped from 60% to 90%, but unmanageable items (like broken glass) rose from 5% to 20% because people stopped double-checking. In the second week, she removed the robot and had volunteers remind people to sort by hand. Unmanageable items dropped back to 5%, but the correct sorting rate fell to 70%. Mia realized technology alone wasn’t enough. “The robot helps, but it needs to work with people’s awareness, not to replace it,” she told the club. She then revised the robot to flash a message: “Please check for unmanageable items before dropping trash.” Months later, Mr. Torres, who had been observing, said, “I was too quick to judge — if it guides instead of doing everything, it’s really helpful.” Ultimately, Mia’s robot became a nationwide model — over 20 cities adopted it, and it even inspired a new generation of eco-friendly technologies. 24. What was the original problem Mia aimed to solve? A. The shortage of volunteers for trash sorting. B. The high cost of recycling from mixed waste. C. The sorting of various types of recyclable stuff. D. The lack of recycling bins in her neighborhood. 25. What can we know from paragraph 2? A. Manual sorting worked much better. B. Robot helped but had disadvantages. C. Human involvement was unnecessary. D. Unmanageable items rose due to robot. 26. What was Mr. Torres’s attitude to Mia’s robot in the end? A. He was strongly opposed to it. B. He thought it only useful in lab tests. C. He remained doubtful about its practical value. D. He became supportive after seeing its progress. 27. Which can best describe Mia? A. Sociable and cooperative. B. Creative and persevering. C. Tolerant and sympathetic. D. Generous and competitive. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了16岁的Mia加入学校机器人俱乐部后，为解决社区垃圾分类问题而设计了一个垃圾分类机器人，并通过实验不断改进，最终该机器人成为全国性典范的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mia chose her neighborhood’s messy recycling bins — people often mixed plastic, paper, and glass, making recycling difficult and time-consuming.(Mia选择了她所在社区杂乱的回收箱——人们经常将塑料、纸张和玻璃混合在一起，这使得回收变得困难且耗时。)”可知，Mia最初想要解决的问题是各种可回收物品的分类。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Ms. Lopez, a retired environmentalist, spoke highly of it: “This could make recycling easier for everyone.” However, Mr. Torres, a local grocery store owner, argued, “If we rely on machines, we’ll stop caring about where our waste goes.” He also noted the robot couldn’t handle items like wet paper, which might cause more problems.(退休环保主义者洛佩兹女士对此给予了高度评价：“这能让每个人的回收工作变得更简单。”不过，当地杂货店老板托雷斯先生却提出异议：“如果我们依赖机器，就不会再关心垃圾该如何分类处理了。” 他还指出，这款机器人无法处理湿纸这类物品，反而可能引发更多问题。)”可知，第二段既有人称赞机器人能让回收更方便，也有人指出它无法处理湿纸等问题，说明机器人有帮助但也存在缺点。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Months later, Mr. Torres, who had been observing, said, “I was too quick to judge — if it guides instead of doing everything, it’s really helpful.”(几个月后，一直在观察情况的托雷斯先生表示：“我当初下结论太早了 —— 如果它只是起到引导作用，而不是包办一切，那它确实很有帮助。”)”可知，一开始Torres反对，后来观察改进后的机器人后表示自己判断太快，认为它很有用，说明态度从反对转为支持。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For weeks, Mia tested sensors and cameras, struggling to make the robot distinguish wet paper from dry and broken glass from whole.( 一连几周，米娅都在测试传感器和摄像头，努力让机器人能够区分湿纸与干纸、碎玻璃与完整玻璃。)”和第四段“She then revised the robot to flash a message(随后她对机器人进行了改进，让它能弹出提示信息。)”可知，Mia 花数周反复测试、改进机器人，体现坚持不懈（persevering）；发明垃圾分类机器人体现有创造力（creative）。故选B。 C Lots of factors contribute to how healthy a person is. Some of these are obvious, like the medical care they receive. But some less obvious factors can be even more important! Some examples include access to food, housing, healthcare, social support and education. What good does education do to you? Research shows that education can lengthen your life expectancy! Getting more education leads to better employment, higher income, and access to healthcare. And all of these improve overall health. So, people with more education tend to have higher life expectancies than people with less education. Many studies show more education is associated with longer lives. But no one has calculated exactly how much longer or how much mortality risk goes down with each year of schooling. In other words, how does education lower a person’s risk of death? Of course, everyone still dies, but a lower mortality risk means a higher chance of a long life. We reviewed previous studies that looked at education and mortality, searching seven databases of scientific studies from around the world. We gathered all the studies on this topic published between 1980 and 2023. In total, we identified 603 studies from 59 countries. We analyzed the results from all these studies to measure how education affected mortality risk. Besides, we also looked at differences in the effect of education at different ages. Finally, we checked the effect of education across Socio-Demographic Index levels. We found that getting more education lowers mortality risk. With each year of education, an adult’s risk of death goes down by about 2%. This effect is greater in younger adults than in older ones. But even people over 70 years old benefit from the positive effects of education! When we looked at countries at different stages of social and economic development, we didn’t find different results. This suggests that more years of schooling leads to longer lives in both rich and poor countries. 28. According to the author, education can be . A. a pathway to health B. a measure of success C. a source of stress D. a chance for the rich 29. What does the underlined word “mortality” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Health. B. Death. C. Virtue. D. Survival. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The methods. B. The arguments. C. The findings. D. The suggestions. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. People in poor countries benefit more from education. B. The impact of education on young people is relatively greater. C. Education does affect how long people live in different countries. D. People in rich countries have chances to gain further education easily. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了教育与健康的关系。研究表明教育可延长寿命、降低死亡风险，文章通过分析大量研究阐述其影响机制及在不同人群和国家的共性表现。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What good does education do to you? Research shows that education can lengthen your life expectancy! Getting more education leads to better employment, higher income, and access to healthcare. And all of these improve overall health. So, people with more education tend to have higher life expectancies than people with less education. (教育对你有什么好处？研究表明，教育可以延长你的预期寿命！接受更多的教育会带来更好的就业机会、更高的收入以及获得医疗保健的机会。而所有这些都能改善整体健康状况)”可知，教育可以是通向健康的一条途径。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Of course, everyone still dies, but a lower mortality risk means a higher chance of a long life. (当然，每个人最终还是会死去，但较低的死亡风险意味着长寿的几率更高。)”可知，人人都会死去，但较低的“mortality”风险意味着长寿的机会更高，因此“mortality”应该是与死亡相关。故选B项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“We reviewed previous studies that looked at education and mortality, searching seven databases of scientific studies from around the world. We gathered all the studies on this topic published between 1980 and 2023. In total, we identified 603 studies from 59 countries. We analyzed the results from all these studies to measure how education affected mortality risk. Besides, we also looked at differences in the effect of education at different ages. Finally, we checked the effect of education across Socio-Demographic Index levels. (我们回顾了以往关于教育与死亡率的研究，检索了来自全球的七个科学研究数据库。我们收集了1980年至2023年间发表的关于这个主题的所有研究。总共确定了来自59个国家的603项研究。我们分析了所有这些研究的结果，以衡量教育如何影响死亡风险。此外，我们还研究了不同年龄段教育影响的差异。最后，我们检查了不同社会人口指数水平下教育的影响。)”可知，该段主要讲述了研究人员回顾以前关于教育和死亡率的研究，分析这些研究结果以衡量教育对死亡风险的影响，还研究了教育在不同年龄的影响差异以及在不同社会人口指数水平下的影响，这些都是在阐述研究的方法和过程。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We found that getting more education lowers mortality risk. With each year of education, an adult's risk of death goes down by about 2%. This effect is greater in younger adults than in older ones. But even people over 70 years old benefit from the positive effects of education! When we looked at countries at different stages of social and economic development, we didn't find different results. This suggests that more years of schooling leads to longer lives in both rich and poor countries. (我们发现，接受更多的教育可以降低死亡风险。对于成年人来说，每接受一年的教育，死亡风险就会降低约2%。这种影响在年轻人中比在老年人中更大。但即使是70岁以上的人也能从教育的积极影响中受益！当我们观察处于不同社会和经济发展阶段的国家时，我们没有发现不同的结果。这表明，在富裕国家和贫穷国家，接受更多年的学校教育都能使人更长寿。)”可知，接受更多教育能降低死亡风险，每多接受一年教育，成年人的死亡风险下降约2%，这种影响在年轻人中比在老年人中更大，而且在不同社会经济发展阶段的国家都发现更多的受教育年限会带来更长的寿命，所以可以推断出教育确实会影响不同国家人们的寿命长短。故选C项。 D One of the most famous experiments in social psychology is the “marshmallow test (棉花糖实验),” in which a child is given a marshmallow and promised a second if they can resist eating it for fifteen minutes. The ability to delay satisfaction has long been linked to future success. However, in his book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.” Fisher claims that our ancestors possessed a “cathedral thinking (大教堂思维)” mindset — the ability to plan for a future they would never personally see, like medieval (中世纪的) builders who started grand structures they knew would take centuries to complete. Today, the pressures of the 24-hour news cycle, quarterly financial reports, and instant social media pleasure have shortened our mental horizons. We are, Fisher says, “time-limited immigrants” consuming future resources to satisfy temporary present desires. The book also explores how we might retrain our brains to think longer term. Fisher introduces “The Long Now Foundation,” which is building a clock designed to tick for 10,000 years, and discusses “inter-generational justice.” He suggests treating future generations as “unborn citizens” with their own rights, not just abstract concepts. Although Fisher’s writing is elegant and his research thorough, some readers may find his optimism slightly disconnected from modern political realities. Appreciating a 10,000-year clock is one thing; persuading a politician to prioritize a fifty-year climate goal over next year’s pressure is another. Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call, challenging us to consider what kind of “good ancestor” we want to be. 32. What is the main problem of modern society according to Richard Fisher? A. People are highly focused on immediate interests. B. People lack the curiosity to explore the unknown. C. People have lost the ability to build grand structures. D. People are struggling with social media addiction. 33. According to the text, what does “cathedral thinking” mainly refer to? A. Building very large churches. B. Planning for a distant future. C. Thinking quickly under pressure. D. Remembering historical events. 34. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards Fisher’s book? A. Critical of its lack of scientific evidence and samples. B. Enthusiastic about its political influence. C. Doubtful about the author’s research methods. D. Supportive of its main message despite some concerns. 35. What would be the best title for this text? A. The Secret to Future Success: The Marshmallow Test B. Regaining Our Future: A Review of The Long View C. Why Cathedral Thinking is Outdated Today D. Richard Fisher: The Man Who Built a 10,000-Year Clock 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章通过介绍Richard Fisher的著作《远见》，批判了现代社会沉迷于短期满足的倾向，并与祖先的“大教堂思维”进行对比，进而探讨了如何重新培养长期思维。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, in his book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.” (然而，在其著作《远见》中，社会科学家Richard Fisher指出，现代社会在全球范围内未能通过这一考验，反而陷入了“只顾当下”的危险境地。)”可知，根据Richard Fisher的观点，现代社会的主要问题是人们高度关注眼前的利益。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Fisher claims that our ancestors possessed a “cathedral thinking (大教堂思维)” mindset — the ability to plan for a future they would never personally see, like medieval (中世纪的) builders who started grand structures they knew would take centuries to complete. (Fisher认为，我们的祖先拥有“大教堂思维”的观念模式——为一个他们永远无法亲眼目睹的未来进行规划的能力，就像中世纪的建筑者们那样，他们开始建造宏伟的建筑，而他们知道这些建筑显然需要数百年才能完工。)”可知，破折号后的内容是对“大教堂思维”的具体解释，这主要指的是为一个遥远的未来做规划。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Although Fisher’s writing is elegant and his research thorough, some readers may find his optimism slightly disconnected from modern political realities. (尽管Fisher的文笔优美，研究也十分详尽，但有些读者可能会觉得他的乐观情绪与当今的政治现实有些脱节。)”和“Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call, challenging us to consider what kind of “good ancestor” we want to be. (然而，《远见》确实起到了警醒的作用，它促使我们思考自己希望成为什么样的“优秀祖先”。)”可知，作者指出这本书有其不足之处，但肯定其警醒作用。由此可知，作者对这本书表达了一些担忧，但仍支持其主要观点。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call, challenging us to consider what kind of “good ancestor” we want to be. (然而，《远见》确实起到了警醒的作用，它促使我们思考自己希望成为什么样的“优秀祖先”。)”可知，文章围绕Richard Fisher的著作《远见》展开，该书指出现代社会沉迷于短期满足，而我们需要恢复祖先那种为长远未来规划的“大教堂思维”，并探讨了如何重新训练我们的大脑进行长期思考。因此，“重获我们的未来：《远见》书评”最适合作为文章标题。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。 Young Chinese travelers are discovering a clever way to save money on overseas trips. ___36___ For example, one traveler took a high-speed train from Beijing to Datong and then caught a direct flight to Bangkok. The total cost was much lower than a direct flight from Beijing. ___37___ This new travel style is possible thanks to newly opened international routes from smaller city airports. This makes the overall journey surprisingly affordable. The airports in these smaller cities offer another advantage: efficiency. With shorter walking distances and fewer crowds, they provide a relaxed start to the trip compared to the often busy major hubs. But for these young people, it’s not just about saving money. ___38___ They prefer to spend their budget on better food and experiences at their destination. An expert points out this reflects an upgrade in cultural consumption, not simply cheaper travel. How can these tickets be so cheap? ___39___ To encourage local tourism and economic growth, local governments often provide support for these new flight routes. This reduces airline costs, allowing them to offer low ticket prices. This trend is growing across China. More small and medium-sized cities are launching budget international flights. ___40___ A. The main reason involves government support and market operations. B. Therefore, the quality of their travel experience has significantly improved. C. They combine a short train ride to a nearby city with a flight from its airport. D. Instead, it represents a smarter choice aimed at gaining greater value. E. These flights are often 30-50% cheaper than those from big cities. F. Consequently, this has led to a decrease in international travel overall. G. As a result, young travelers now have more attractive and cheaper flight options. 【答案】36. C 37. E 38. D 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当下年轻人流行的“从中小城市机场飞往海外”的新旅行模式，通过“高铁+小机场航班”的组合节省成本，并分析了其背后的原因（政府补贴、市场运作）和反映的消费观念升级（追求价值而非单纯低价）。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Young Chinese travelers are discovering a clever way to save money on overseas trips.(年轻的中国游客正在寻找一种在海外旅行中节省费用的巧妙方法)”以及后文“For example, one traveler took a high-speed train from Beijing to Datong and then caught a direct flight to Bangkok. The total cost was much lower than a direct flight from Beijing.(例如，有一位旅客先乘坐高速列车从北京前往大同，然后乘坐直飞航班前往曼谷。整个行程的费用比从北京直接乘坐航班要低得多)”可知，空前的首句提出了“聪明的省钱方法”这一总体概念，空后则用具体例子（北京-大同-曼谷）进行说明。C项“他们先将短途高铁和从小城市机场起飞的航班结合起来”恰是对“这种方法”具体操作方式的解释说明，作为桥梁连接了抽象的“方法”概念和其后具体的例子，使逻辑连贯。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据后文“This new travel style is possible thanks to newly opened international routes from smaller city airports. This makes the overall journey surprisingly affordable. The airports in these smaller cities offer another advantage: efficiency. With shorter walking distances and fewer crowds, they provide a relaxed start to the trip compared to the often busy major hubs.(这种新的旅行方式之所以能够实现，得益于一些较小城市机场新开通的国际航线。这使得整个旅程的费用出乎意料地实惠。这些较小城市的机场还有另一个优势：效率更高。由于步行距离较短且人群较少，与通常繁忙的大规模机场相比，它们为旅行提供了更为轻松的开端)”可知，第二段需要阐述此现象可行的客观条件。E项“这些航线的票价通常比从大城市直飞便宜30%-50%”概括了本段核心——价格优势。它作为段落主题句，直接引出了空后“这种新旅行方式成为可能”的原因，并与段尾提到的“使整个旅程出奇地划算”形成首尾呼应，统领全段。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“But for these young people, it’s not just about saving money.(但对于这些年轻人来说，这不仅仅是为了省钱)”以及后文“They prefer to spend their budget on better food and experiences at their destination. An expert points out this reflects an upgrade in cultural consumption, not simply cheaper travel.(他们更愿意将预算用于购买更优质的食物以及在目的地享受更多的体验活动。一位专家指出，这反映的是文化消费水平的提升，而非仅仅是旅行成本的降低)”可知，第三段旨在探讨现象背后的深层动机。空前句提出“这不只是图便宜”，将语意转向更深层次。D项“相反，它代表着一种旨在获取更高价值的更聪明选择”完美承接这一转折，明确指出了其本质是“价值追求”，进而自然引出空后关于“将预算用于更好体验”和“消费升级”的具体阐述，逻辑链条紧密。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“How can these tickets be so cheap?(这些票怎么这么便宜呢？)”以及后文“To encourage local tourism and economic growth, local governments often provide support for these new flight routes. This reduces airline costs, allowing them to offer low ticket prices.(为了促进当地旅游业的发展和经济增长，地方政府通常会为这些新的航线提供支持。这降低了航空公司的运营成本，从而使他们能够提供较低的票价)”可知，第四段以设问句开头，询问低价原因。A项“主要原因与政府支持和市场运作有关”直接、概括性地回答了该问题，是总起句。它随即引出了空后对“政府支持”如何具体运作的详细解释（如提供补贴、降低风险），构成了“总—分”的逻辑关系。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上文“This trend is growing across China. More small and medium-sized cities are launching budget international flights.(这种趋势正在中国各地不断蔓延。越来越多的中小城市正在开通廉价国际航班)”可知，文章最后一段描述此趋势在全国蔓延的现象。空前句列举了多个城市开通低价国际航线的实例。G项“因此，年轻旅行者现在有了更多诱人且廉价的飞行选择”正是基于前文众多实例得出的自然结论，总结了这一趋势对目标群体（年轻旅行者）产生的最终影响，有效收束全文，符合段尾句的功能。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Nino Miami, a skilled and passionate barber, has built a reputation for himself as one of the best barbers in Reggio Calabria, Italy.

When I was a little girl, I knew that I had a gift for music. Playing was my love. While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun, playing childish games, I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano. When I played, I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy. All I had to worry about was my music. Playing was never boring for me. I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came. It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition. The music hall was packed with excited audience. I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me. As the fellow competitors were playing. I couldn’t keep my mind on their music. I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings. I had known my music was like the back of my hand. But this time, to my great surprise, I found my fingers completely out of my control. They kept shaking. I nearly burst into tears. Seeing this, mom held my hands tightly in hers. She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up. Then she whispered to my ear, “Sweetie, take it easy. Just listen and enjoy the music.” I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time. A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano. He looked calm and confident. His fingertips danced on the keyboard. The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air. For a moment, I totally forgot my nervousness. 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。 Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly my fingers slipped（滑）and I hit a wrong note. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again. It seemed that thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach. My mother gave me a pat on the back and said softly, “Just enjoy it, honey!” I found encouragement and confidence in her eyes. I got up, climbed up the stage steps and bowed to the audience. I tried my best to keep calm. I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard, took a deep breath and started to play. To my delight, everything seemed unbelievably smooth. Suddenly my fingers slipped and I hit a wrong note. I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd’s deep sigh. “Just enjoy it!” Mum’s words echoed in my ears. I continued playing as if nothing had happened. Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again. Eventually, when I finished my last note, the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering, which was totally out of my expectation. Though I didn’t win the champion, I knew I had learned something more valuable. I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself. 【解析】 【分析】本文以我弹钢琴为线索。我喜欢弹钢琴，并且为Alberta音乐比赛准备了很久，当时在台下等的时候我变得越来越紧张，手指不受控制，一直颤抖。此时母亲在旁边安慰我，并让我认真欣赏。此时我就注意到了台上的一个男孩，冷静，自信地弹奏着，舒适的音乐回荡在这个音乐厅。渐渐地，我就忘记了自己的紧张。就在这时主持人宣布，该我弹奏了，我又开始紧张起来…… 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“主持人宣布该我弹奏了，我又开始紧张起来”可知，本段可以写在主持人叫到自己的名字后，母亲鼓励我，我尽自己最大的努力冷静下来，然后开始演奏。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然我手一滑，弹错了一个调”可知，本段可以写我弹错曲调后，观众的反应以及我如何应对。最终提出自己的感想。 2.续写线索：主持人宣布该我弹奏→我开始紧张→母亲鼓励→我鼓起勇气，开始演奏→弹错曲调→观众的反应，我如何应对→赢得掌声→感悟。 3.词类激活： 行为类： 努力做某事：try my best to do→make great efforts to do→endeavor to do→attempt to do 深呼吸：took a deep breath→breathe deeply 沉浸于：be absorbed in→be immersed in→be buried in→soak oneself in 情绪类： 紧张：thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach→be overcome with nervousness 失望：disappointment→letdown→disillusion→despair 【点睛】【高分句型1】I continued playing as if nothing had happened.（这句话使用了as if引导的虚拟语气做状语。） 【高分句型2】Eventually, when I finished my last note, the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering, which was totally out of my expectation.（这句话使用了when引导的时间状语从句以及which引导的非限制性定语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年春学期高二年级期中考试 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What kind of music does Julie like?

B When 16-year-old Mia joined her school’s robotics club, she never thought her project would spark a community debate. Her teacher, Mr. Hale, assigned a task: build a device to solve a local problem. Mia chose her neighborhood’s messy recycling bins — people often mixed plastic, paper, and glass, making recycling difficult and time-consuming. For weeks, Mia tested sensors and cameras, struggling to make the robot distinguish wet paper from dry and broken glass from whole. Finally, her trash-sorting robot worked in lab tests, but at a community fair, opinions were at odds. Ms. Lopez, a retired environmentalist, spoke highly of it: “This could make recycling easier for everyone.” However, Mr. Torres, a local grocery store owner, argued, “If we rely on machines, we’ll stop caring about where our waste goes.” He also noted the robot couldn’t handle items like wet paper, which might cause more problems. Mia was confused. She decided to run a two-week experiment. In the first week, she placed the robot next to the main recycling bin. The result showed correctly sorted trash jumped from 60% to 90%, but unmanageable items (like broken glass) rose from 5% to 20% because people stopped double-checking. In the second week, she removed the robot and had volunteers remind people to sort by hand. Unmanageable items dropped back to 5%, but the correct sorting rate fell to 70%. Mia realized technology alone wasn’t enough. “The robot helps, but it needs to work with people’s awareness, not to replace it,” she told the club. She then revised the robot to flash a message: “Please check for unmanageable items before dropping trash.” Months later, Mr. Torres, who had been observing, said, “I was too quick to judge — if it guides instead of doing everything, it’s really helpful.” Ultimately, Mia’s robot became a nationwide model — over 20 cities adopted it, and it even inspired a new generation of eco-friendly technologies. 24. What was the original problem Mia aimed to solve? A. The shortage of volunteers for trash sorting. B. The high cost of recycling from mixed waste. C. The sorting of various types of recyclable stuff. D. The lack of recycling bins in her neighborhood. 25. What can we know from paragraph 2? A. Manual sorting worked much better. B. Robot helped but had disadvantages. C. Human involvement was unnecessary. D. Unmanageable items rose due to robot. 26. What was Mr. Torres’s attitude to Mia’s robot in the end? A. He was strongly opposed to it. B. He thought it only useful in lab tests. C. He remained doubtful about its practical value. D. He became supportive after seeing its progress. 27. Which can best describe Mia? A. Sociable and cooperative. B. Creative and persevering. C. Tolerant and sympathetic. D. Generous and competitive. C Lots of factors contribute to how healthy a person is. Some of these are obvious, like the medical care they receive. But some less obvious factors can be even more important! Some examples include access to food, housing, healthcare, social support and education. What good does education do to you? Research shows that education can lengthen your life expectancy! Getting more education leads to better employment, higher income, and access to healthcare. And all of these improve overall health. So, people with more education tend to have higher life expectancies than people with less education. Many studies show more education is associated with longer lives. But no one has calculated exactly how much longer or how much mortality risk goes down with each year of schooling. In other words, how does education lower a person’s risk of death? Of course, everyone still dies, but a lower mortality risk means a higher chance of a long life. We reviewed previous studies that looked at education and mortality, searching seven databases of scientific studies from around the world. We gathered all the studies on this topic published between 1980 and 2023. In total, we identified 603 studies from 59 countries. We analyzed the results from all these studies to measure how education affected mortality risk. Besides, we also looked at differences in the effect of education at different ages. Finally, we checked the effect of education across Socio-Demographic Index levels. We found that getting more education lowers mortality risk. With each year of education, an adult’s risk of death goes down by about 2%. This effect is greater in younger adults than in older ones. But even people over 70 years old benefit from the positive effects of education! When we looked at countries at different stages of social and economic development, we didn’t find different results. This suggests that more years of schooling leads to longer lives in both rich and poor countries. 28. According to the author, education can be . A. a pathway to health B. a measure of success C. a source of stress D. a chance for the rich 29. What does the underlined word “mortality” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Health. B. Death. C. Virtue. D. Survival. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The methods. B. The arguments. C. The findings. D. The suggestions. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. People in poor countries benefit more from education. B. The impact of education on young people is relatively greater. C. Education does affect how long people live in different countries. D. People in rich countries have chances to gain further education easily. D One of the most famous experiments in social psychology is the “marshmallow test (棉花糖实验),” in which a child is given a marshmallow and promised a second if they can resist eating it for fifteen minutes. The ability to delay satisfaction has long been linked to future success. However, in his book The Long View, social scientist Richard Fisher argues that modern society has failed this test on a global scale, becoming dangerously trapped in “living for the moment.” Fisher claims that our ancestors possessed a “cathedral thinking (大教堂思维)” mindset — the ability to plan for a future they would never personally see, like medieval (中世纪的) builders who started grand structures they knew would take centuries to complete. Today, the pressures of the 24-hour news cycle, quarterly financial reports, and instant social media pleasure have shortened our mental horizons. We are, Fisher says, “time-limited immigrants” consuming future resources to satisfy temporary present desires. The book also explores how we might retrain our brains to think longer term. Fisher introduces “The Long Now Foundation,” which is building a clock designed to tick for 10,000 years, and discusses “inter-generational justice.” He suggests treating future generations as “unborn citizens” with their own rights, not just abstract concepts. Although Fisher’s writing is elegant and his research thorough, some readers may find his optimism slightly disconnected from modern political realities. Appreciating a 10,000-year clock is one thing; persuading a politician to prioritize a fifty-year climate goal over next year’s pressure is another. Nevertheless, The Long View is a necessary wake-up call, challenging us to consider what kind of “good ancestor” we want to be. 32. What is the main problem of modern society according to Richard Fisher? A. People are highly focused on immediate interests. B. People lack the curiosity to explore the unknown. C. People have lost the ability to build grand structures. D. People are struggling with social media addiction. 33. According to the text, what does “cathedral thinking” mainly refer to? A. Building very large churches. B. Planning for a distant future. C. Thinking quickly under pressure. D. Remembering historical events. 34. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards Fisher’s book? A. Critical of its lack of scientific evidence and samples. B. Enthusiastic about its political influence. C. Doubtful about the author’s research methods. D. Supportive of its main message despite some concerns. 35. What would be the best title for this text? A. The Secret to Future Success: The Marshmallow Test B. Regaining Our Future: A Review of The Long View C. Why Cathedral Thinking is Outdated Today D. Richard Fisher: The Man Who Built a 10,000-Year Clock 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。 Young Chinese travelers are discovering a clever way to save money on overseas trips. ___36___ For example, one traveler took a high-speed train from Beijing to Datong and then caught a direct flight to Bangkok. The total cost was much lower than a direct flight from Beijing. ___37___ This new travel style is possible thanks to newly opened international routes from smaller city airports. This makes the overall journey surprisingly affordable. The airports in these smaller cities offer another advantage: efficiency. With shorter walking distances and fewer crowds, they provide a relaxed start to the trip compared to the often busy major hubs. But for these young people, it’s not just about saving money. ___38___ They prefer to spend their budget on better food and experiences at their destination. An expert points out this reflects an upgrade in cultural consumption, not simply cheaper travel. How can these tickets be so cheap? ___39___ To encourage local tourism and economic growth, local governments often provide support for these new flight routes. This reduces airline costs, allowing them to offer low ticket prices. This trend is growing across China. More small and medium-sized cities are launching budget international flights. ___40___ A. The main reason involves government support and market operations. B. Therefore, the quality of their travel experience has significantly improved. C. They combine a short train ride to a nearby city with a flight from its airport. D. Instead, it represents a smarter choice aimed at gaining greater value. E. These flights are often 30-50% cheaper than those from big cities. F. Consequently, this has led to a decrease in international travel overall. G. As a result, young travelers now have more attractive and cheaper flight options. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Nino Miami, a skilled and passionate barber, has built a reputation for himself as one of the best barbers in Reggio Calabria, Italy.

When I was a little girl, I knew that I had a gift for music. Playing was my love. While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun, playing childish games, I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano. When I played, I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy. All I had to worry about was my music. Playing was never boring for me. I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came. It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition. The music hall was packed with excited audience. I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me. As the fellow competitors were playing. I couldn’t keep my mind on their music. I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings. I had known my music was like the back of my hand. But this time, to my great surprise, I found my fingers completely out of my control. They kept shaking. I nearly burst into tears. Seeing this, mom held my hands tightly in hers. She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up. Then she whispered to my ear, “Sweetie, take it easy. Just listen and enjoy the music.” I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time. A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano. He looked calm and confident. His fingertips danced on the keyboard. The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air. For a moment, I totally forgot my nervousness. 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。 Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly my fingers slipped（滑）and I hit a wrong note. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
