This non-biodegradable substance has spread to every corner of the globe — from the deep sea to the Antarctic, and even into our bodies. Every piece of plastic ever made survives in some form, with most eventually breaking down into microplastics: fragments (碎片) smaller than 5 millimeters, invisible to the unaided eye. Scientists estimate that the upper oceans alone contain 24.4 trillion small microplastic pieces. Microplastics are divided into primary and secondary. Primary microplastics are intentionally produced in tiny form, while secondary microplastics result from the environmental breakdown of larger plastic items. The main types include: Types of microplastics 1 Fibers These thin, thread-like (丝状的) plastics come from clothing and cigarette ends. One of the main ways these fibers enter lakes is through washing machines. 2 Microbeads These tiny plastic balls are often added to personal care products but are difficult to remove from wastewater due to their small size. 3 Fragments When a larger piece of plastic breaks down due to sunlight and weathering, it becomes smaller microplastic fragments. 4 Nurdles (小球) Small plastic pieces produced to make larger products, escape into lakes and oceans during transportation. 5 Foam Used as packing protection in delivery boxes, this soft product can be broken down easily into microplastics. How long do common plastic items take to break down? Plastic bags Cigarette ends Coffee cups Bottles Toothbrushes Fishing lines Can holders Straws 20 years 5 years 30 years 450 years 500 years 600 years 400 years 200 years We therefore urge everyone to: 1. Reduce the use of single-use plastics. 2. Choose clothing made from natural fibers. 3. Participate in plastic waste sorting and recycling. 4. Select personal care products without microbeads. Protecting our planet begins with conscious daily choices. Green Living Advocacy Committee February 14, 2026 1. What is the main purpose of this initiative? A. To explain how microplastics are grouped. B. To promote efforts to reduce microplastics. C. To analyze how microplastics degrade in nature. D. To identify major sources of microplastics. 2. Which of the following are primary microplastics? A. 1,2 and 4. B. 2 and 4. C. 1,3 and 5. D. 1 and 3. 3. Which plastic item takes the longest time to break down? A. Plastic bags. B. Bottles. C. Toothbrushes. D. Fishing lines. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了微塑料的定义、分类、来源、降解时间及其对环境的危害，呼吁公众采取行动减少微塑料污染。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “We therefore urge everyone to: 1. Reduce the use of single-use plastics. 2. Choose clothing made from natural fibers. 3. Participate in plastic waste sorting and recycling. 4. Select personal care products without microbeads. (因此我们敦促每个人：1.减少使用一次性塑料。2.选择天然纤维制成的衣物。3.参与塑料垃圾分类和回收。4.选择不含微珠的个人护理产品。)” 可知，本文的主要目的是促进减少微塑料污染的努力。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中 “Microplastics are divided into primary and secondary. Primary microplastics are intentionally produced in tiny form, while secondary microplastics result from the environmental breakdown of larger plastic items. (微塑料分为初级和次级。初级微塑料是故意以微小形式生产的，而次级微塑料则是较大塑料物品在环境中分解的结果。)” 以及表格中对2 Microbeads（微珠）的描述 “These tiny plastic balls are often added to personal care products but are difficult to remove from wastewater due to their small size. (这些微小的塑料球常被添加到个人护理产品中，但由于体积小，难以从废水中去除。)”和对4 Nurdles (塑料小球)的描述 “Small plastic pieces produced to make larger products, escape into lakes and oceans during transportation. (为制造更大产品而生产的小塑料颗粒，在运输过程中逃逸到湖泊和海洋中。)”可知，Microbeads (微珠)和Nurdles (塑料小球)是故意生产的微小塑料，属于初级微塑料。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格“How long do common plastic items take to break down? (常见塑料物品需要多长时间分解？)”中的数据：Plastic bags — 20 years(塑料袋——20年)；Bottles — 450 years (瓶子——450年)；Toothbrushes — 500 years (牙刷——500年)；Fishing lines — 600 years (渔线——600年)可知，Fishing lines — 600 years (渔线——600年)需要600年分解，是所列物品中时间最长的。故选D。 B Zhang Hongjun once spent his days on noisy construction sites in Shanghai, far from his rural hometown in Fujian province. For over a decade, his life followed a common path: long hours of labor, low pay, and the loneliness of being a migrant worker in a vast city. He dreamed of a change but saw few opportunities back home. A visit became a turning point. Stuck in his village, Zhang noticed something new. The roads were paved, internet signals were strong, and the local government was offering support to those willing to start businesses. The beautiful mountains and fresh air, once taken for granted, now seemed full of potential. An idea began to form: what if he could build a future here, not just make a living there? Using his savings and a small government grant, Zhang took a daring step. He transformed his family’s old, empty house into a modern café, a place where city visitors could enjoy coffee while viewing the terraced fields. At first, neighbors were puzzled. “Who will come to the mountains for coffee?” they asked. Zhang persisted, learning about coffee beans and design online. Today, “Mountain Cloud Café” is more than a coffee shop. It’s a window for his village. Tourists come on weekends, and through his café, they discover and buy local specialties like mountain tea and dried fruits. Zhang has hired two local women, providing them with stable income. More importantly, his success has sparked a conversation. A few other young people, who once thought leaving was the only option, are now asking, “Could I come back too?” “My dream isn’t huge,” Zhang says, looking at the lively scene outside. “I just want our home to thrive, so that our children might have a choice to stay.” His journey from construction site to café owner paints a picture of modern rural China — one where returning wings bring new life. 4. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s early life as a migrant worker? A. Relaxed and secure. B. Disconnected but satisfied. C. Lonely and unfulfilled. D. Stressful but meaningful. 5. Why did Zhang return and start his Café business? A. He failed in his job in Shanghai. B. He was in poor condition in the city. C. He was invited by the local government. D. He found new changes and support in his village. 6. What can we learn about Mountain Cloud Café? A. It has helped develop the village. B. It features providing modern coffee. C. It mainly sells coffee to young villagers. D. It is well received from beginning to end. 7. What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. A New Trend of City Tourism B. The Importance of Local Specialties C. From Migrant Worker to Café Owner D. Ways to Run a Successful Country Café 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述农民工张洪军返乡，借助家乡变化与政府支持开咖啡馆，带动乡村发展，展现了现代中国农村的新面貌。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For over a decade, his life followed a common path: long hours of labor, low pay, and the loneliness of being a migrant worker in a vast city. He dreamed of a change but saw few opportunities back home.(十多年来，他的生活循规蹈矩：整日劳作，薪水微薄，身为农民工，在偌大的城市里孑然一身。他渴望改变，却深知回到家乡，也难寻机遇。)”可知，张洪军早年的生活孤独且不满足。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Stuck in his village, Zhang noticed something new. The roads were paved, internet signals were strong, and the local government was offering support to those willing to start businesses. The beautiful mountains and fresh air, once taken for granted, now seemed full of potential. An idea began to form: what if he could build a future here, not just make a living there?(被困在村子里的张洪军发现了一些新东西。道路已经铺好，互联网信号很强，当地政府正在为那些愿意创业的人提供支持。曾经被视为理所当然的美丽山脉和新鲜空气，现在似乎充满了潜力。一个想法开始形成：如果他能在这里创造未来，而不仅仅是在那里谋生呢？)”可知，他回乡创业是因为村里有了新变化和支持。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Tourists come on weekends, and through his café, they discover and buy local specialties like mountain tea and dried fruits. Zhang has hired two local women, providing them with stable income.(周末游客前来，通过咖啡馆他们发现并购买高山茶、干果等当地特产。张洪军雇佣了两名当地妇女，为她们提供稳定收入。)”可知，咖啡馆带动了村庄发展。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Zhang Hongjun once spent his days on noisy construction sites in Shanghai, far from his rural hometown in Fujian province.(张洪军曾在上海嘈杂的工地上度日，远离他的家乡福建省。)”和最后一段“His journey from construction site to café owner paints a picture of modern rural China — one where returning wings bring new life.(他从建筑工地到咖啡馆老板的旅程描绘了一幅现代中国农村的图景——在那里，回归的翅膀带来了新的生命。)”可知，文章讲述了张洪军从农民工变成咖啡馆老板的故事，所以C项“From Migrant Worker to Café Owner(从农民工到咖啡馆老板)”符合语境。故选C项。 C Consumers rely on various ways to pay daily expenses. The problem is that they tend to spend more with cashless payment methods in comparison to cash. This striking cashless effect has recently been confirmed by researchers from the University of Adelaide. Led by PhD Student Lachlan Schomburgk, the research team analysed 71 published and unpublished studies from 17 countries, including data from more than 11,000 unique participants. They’ve found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status-signalling goods like jewellery, while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping. “Through this meta-analysis, we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker, which individual studies could not find. By doing this, we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies.” Schomburgk explains. The findings indicate that consumers should be mindful of how they pay for goods or services, as this helps them spend less, especially critical in the current cost-of-living crisis. To avoid overspending, they’re advised to carry cash instead of cards whenever possible as a self-control method. When using cash, they count and hand over notes and coins, making spending more noticeable. If nothing is physically handed over, it’s easy to lose track of how much is spent. The study also provides useful insights for businesses and policymakers. “Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential,” Schomburgk says. “And policymakers should communicate to individuals unfamiliar with cashless payments, such as people who don’t have bank accounts, about the possibility of cashless methods to lead to overspending.” Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies of new payment methods, as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty. Studying these methods is vital to keep pace with the evolving payment ecosystem and deepen understanding of modern consumers’ spending habits. 8. What has the study found about the cashless effect? A. It exists in acts of donation. B. It weakens with more cash use. C. It links to the living cost crisis. D. It works in specific consumption. 9. Why did the team adopt the meta-analysis? A. To solve the overspending problem. B. To compare cash and cashless payments. C. To confirm factors causing the effect. D. To break the limitations of single studies. 10. What does the underlined word “jeopardising” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Risking. B. Preserving. C. Shifting. D. Boosting. 11. What can be inferred about new payments according to Schomburgk? A. They need to be popularized. B. They are developing rapidly. C. They should be further studied. D. They will affect spending habits. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于“无现金效应”的元分析研究，该研究发现消费者使用无现金支付方式时倾向于花费更多，并探讨了这一现象对个人、企业和政策制定者的启示。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They’ve found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status-signalling goods like jewellery, while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping. (他们发现，无现金支付会导致人们在珠宝等身份象征商品上花费更多，而这种效应在捐赠或给小费的行为中明显不存在)”可知，研究发现“无现金效应”存在于特定的消费中。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through this meta-analysis, we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker, which individual studies could not find. By doing this, we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies. (通过这项元分析，我们确定了使无现金效应增强或减弱的关键因素，这是单项研究无法发现的。通过这样做，我们揭示了在单项研究中经常被其他研究人员忽视的新关键理解)”可知，研究团队采用元分析是为了打破单项研究的局限性。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential (企业应该知道，不接受无现金革命可能会无意中jeopardising利润潜力)”以及前文所述无现金支付会导致消费者花费更多，因此不接受无现金支付可能会“损害”利润潜力。故划线词意为“使……冒风险；损害”，与“Risking”同义。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies of new payment methods, as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty. (Schomburgk强调，迫切需要对新的支付方式进行深入研究，因为由于其新颖性，关于其具体影响的研究仍然有限)”可知，新的支付方式需要进一步研究。故选C项。 D When an AI-generated painting won a major art competition in 2022, the art world was thrown into fierce debate: can art created by artificial intelligence be considered “real art”, or is it just a technical trick with no true creativity? Three years on, the debate has not faded. Instead, it has evolved into a deeper discussion about the nature of art, creativity and human expression in the digital age. On one side of the argument are traditional artists and critics who insist that art is a human experience, deeply rooted in emotion, personal struggle and subjective interpretation. They argue that AI cannot create art because it lacks consciousness. Though it can generate images based on millions of existing artworks, it cannot feel joy, sorrow, or inspiration, nor can it express a unique personal vision. A famous oil painter put it directly, “AI painting is like a parrot repeating words — it can copy form, but it cannot understand meaning.” These critics also warn that AI art risks devaluing human creativity, as anyone can generate a “painting” with a few clicks, making the years of training and practice required for human artists seem meaningless. On the other side are digital artists, tech experts and some contemporary art curators (馆长) who believe AI is just a new tool for artistic creation, no different from the paintbrush or the camera when they were first invented. They point out that all art is built on inspiration from the past. Human artists learn from masterpieces, just as AI learns from existing works. What matters, they argue, is not who or what creates the art, but the intention behind it and the reaction it evokes in the viewer. Many AI artists spend months adjusting AI models, choosing themes, and adjusting details to express their ideas. This process, they say, is no less creative than mixing paint on a canvas. Some curators even note that AI art has opened up new possibilities for art, allowing people with no traditional art training to express their creativity and making art more accessible to the public. The truth, perhaps, lies somewhere in the middle. AI is not a replacement for human artists, nor is it a meaningless technical toy. It is a new medium that challenges us to rethink what art is and what it can be. As one art scholar wrote, “Creativity is not about the tool; it is about the mind that uses the tool. Whether the mind is human or artificial, the art it creates deserves to be judged on its own merits (优点), not its origin.” 12. Why does the author mention the 2022 AI painting competition incident? A. To inform the reader of the news. B. To introduce the topic. C. To explain what is AI painting. D. To make a conclusion. 13. Why do traditional artists refuse AI paintings? A. They don’t have sufficient training. B. They copy too many existing artworks. C. They lack real feelings and personal creativity. D. They are produced too quickly with simple clicks. 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Support for AI as an art tool. B. How AI learns from old works. C. The tough creation process of AI artists. D. AI artists are better than traditional artists. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards AI art? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Neutral. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕2022年AI画作获奖事件，探讨人工智能创作的艺术是否为“真正的艺术”，呈现不同观点并给出中立看法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When an AI-generated painting won a major art competition in 2022, the art world was thrown into fierce debate: can art created by artificial intelligence be considered ‘real art’, or is it just a technical trick with no true creativity?(2022年，一幅人工智能生成的画作赢得了一项重大艺术比赛，艺术界陷入了激烈的争论：人工智能创作的艺术能否被视为“真正的艺术”，还是仅仅是没有真正创造力的技术把戏？)”可知，作者提及2022年AI画作获奖事件，是为了引出“人工智能创作的艺术是否为真正的艺术”这一核心话题。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“On one side of the argument are traditional artists and critics who insist that art is a human experience, deeply rooted in emotion, personal struggle and subjective interpretation. They argue that AI cannot create art because it lacks consciousness. Though it can generate images based on millions of existing artworks, it cannot feel joy, sorrow, or inspiration, nor can it express a unique personal vision.(争论的一方是传统艺术家和评论家，他们坚持认为艺术是一种人类体验，深深植根于情感、个人奋斗和主观解读。他们认为人工智能不能创造艺术，因为它缺乏意识。尽管它可以基于数百万幅现有艺术作品生成图像，但它无法感受喜悦、悲伤或灵感，也无法表达独特的个人视角)”可知，传统艺术家拒绝AI绘画，是因为AI缺乏真正的情感和个人创造力。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“On the other side are digital artists, tech experts and some contemporary art curators who believe AI is just a new tool for artistic creation, no different from the paintbrush or the camera when they were first invented.(争论的另一方是数字艺术家、技术专家和一些当代艺术馆长，他们认为人工智能只是艺术创作的一种新工具，与画笔或相机刚发明时没有区别)”及整段内容可知，该段主要阐述了支持将AI作为艺术创作工具的观点，介绍了数字艺术家、技术专家等人对AI艺术的认可及理由。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The truth, perhaps, lies somewhere in the middle. AI is not a replacement for human artists, nor is it a meaningless technical toy. It is a new medium that challenges us to rethink what art is and what it can be.(真相或许介于两者之间。人工智能不是人类艺术家的替代品，也不是毫无意义的技术玩具。它是一种新的媒介，挑战我们重新思考艺术是什么以及它能成为什么)”可知，作者认为AI既不是人类艺术家的替代品，也不是无意义的技术玩具，而是一种新的媒介，其态度是中立的。故选D项。 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。 From the moment humankind first closed its eyes and slipped into the shifting landscapes of sleep, dreams have haunted (萦绕) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long gone, gods who speak in riddles, beasts both feared and admired, and journeys across impossible places. ___16___ They were messages, and visions — a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul. In ancient China, the Zhou Li (Rites of Zhou) and other classical texts describe dream interpretation as a means to predict the future. Dreams were believed to reveal disturbances in the balance of yin and yang, or it could signal harmony restored. For example, a dream of flowing water might symbolize life’s continuity. ___17___ One of the most famous dream passages in Chinese philosophy comes from Zhuangzi. He once dreamed he was a butterfly. Upon waking, he questioned whether he was a man who dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming he was a man. ___18___ It vividly captured the Chinese view of dreams as a space which is a mix of reality and illusion (错觉). ___19___ Researchers in neuroscience explain dreams as patterns of brain activity, memory processing, and emotional regulation. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, where most vivid dreaming occurs, is now understood as crucial for learning and psychological balance. Sigmund Freud suggested dreams were wish-fulfillments; Carl Jung saw them as messages from the collective unconscious. Though modernity explains dreams with science, it cannot remove their poetic charm. We are still dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night’s riddles. ___20___ We walk with gods, with ancestors, with the timeless mysteries of existence. A. This dream has been retold for centuries. B. Likewise, broken objects could warn of trouble. C. To the ancients, dreams were never meaningless. D. How dreams are interpreted varies from culture to culture. E. Today, science throws light on the distinct roles of dreams. F. The ancients remind us that even in sleep, we are not alone. G. Dreams are inspirations that prepare us for real-life challenges. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. E 20.

Out of the colorful flowers popped a little bee. Cho moved back in fear and shouted to her friend Mateo, “Watch out! It might hurt you!” She waved her hands to shoo the tiny creature away. As a kid, Cho always thought bees were just annoying troubles that brought nothing but stings (叮咬). But Mateo, whose grandpa was known as the “Beeman,” shook his head. He remembered his grandpa’s words: “When you help a bee, you are actually helping your own future dinner.” So he explained softly to Cho, “Bees aren’t here to hurt us. They pollinate (授粉) one-third of the food we eat. Without their hard work, our garden wouldn’t grow any sunflowers, apples, or peas.” Thinking the words over, Cho nodded in agreement. The two looked at the tiny creature with respect, knowing that every bee was essential to the world. However, the bee seemed to be in deep trouble. It stayed still on a flower, whose legs were trembling. It was simply too tired or too weak to fly. They quickly mixed a spoonful of sugar water to feed it, hoping to give the bee some energy. Moments later, it still rested on the flower, shaking and unable to move its tiny wings. Determined to save it, the two friends decided to make Mateo’s balcony (阳台) a heaven for it and other bees. They gathered some plastic bottles and other materials, planning to build a “Bee Hotel.” They hoped such a shelter would provide safe cells for bees. But before they could begin, the sky turned grey, and a strong wind began to blow. With the storm approaching fast, the materials were still lying all around on the balcony. The two friends knew they had to act fast as the first raindrops began to fall. 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。 Mateo and Cho hurried to build the “Bee Hotel”. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, the sun rose over the balcony. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mateo and Cho hurried to build the “Bee Hotel”. They divided the work: Cho sorted the plastic bottles and cut them into small sections, while Mateo lined the inside with soft grass to make it warm and comfortable. The rain began to pour down, so they took turns holding an umbrella to protect the materials and the weak bee on the flower. They worked quickly but carefully, sticking the bottle sections together and placing them in a sheltered corner of the balcony. Finally, they gently picked up the bee and put it inside one of the soft cells. Exhausted but happy, they watched the bee settle down before rushing back indoors. The next morning, the sun rose over the balcony. Mateo and Cho ran to check the “Bee Hotel” eagerly. To their joy, the little bee was crawling out of the cell, its wings no longer trembling. It flew around the balcony for a while, as if saying thanks, before flying off into the garden. Nearby, they found more bees hovering around the flowers. The two friends smiled at each other, knowing they had done something meaningful. From that day on, they kept the “Bee Hotel” clean and added more flowers, turning the balcony into a real haven for bees. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“拯救小蜜蜂、搭建蜜蜂旅馆”为线索展开，讲述了Cho原本害怕蜜蜂，在好友Mateo的讲解下了解蜜蜂的重要性，两人发现一只陷入困境的蜜蜂，决定搭建“蜜蜂旅馆”救助它，却遭遇暴雨，最终合力完成搭建并成功帮助蜜蜂的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“Mateo和Cho匆忙去搭建“蜜蜂旅馆”。”可知，接下来可描写两人分工合作搭建蜜蜂旅馆的过程，突出暴雨来临后的匆忙与细心，以及对小蜜蜂的保护。 ② 由第二段首句“第二天早上，太阳从阳台升起。”可知，接下来可描写两人查看蜜蜂旅馆的场景，重点写小蜜蜂恢复活力的样子，以及两人从中获得的成就感。 2. 续写线索 暴雨来临，两人分工搭建蜜蜂旅馆——冒雨保护材料和小蜜蜂——完成搭建，将蜜蜂安置其中——次日清晨查看，蜜蜂恢复活力——两人感受到帮助蜜蜂的意义，守护蜜蜂家园 3.词类激活 行为类 ①倾盆大雨：the rain began to pour down/it rained cats and dogs ②保护：protect/preserve ③放置：place/position/lay ④颤抖：tremble/shake 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/delighted ②疲惫的：exhausted/worn-out 【点睛】【高分句型1】They worked quickly but carefully, sticking the bottle sections together and placing them in a sheltered corner of the balcony. （运用了现在分词sticking作状语） 【高分句型2】Exhausted but happy, they watched the bee settle down before rushing back indoors.（运用了形容词作状语） 【高分句型3】To their joy, the little bee was crawling out of the cell, its wings no longer trembling. （运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 深圳市龙华2026届高三英语学科高考预测卷 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Dear Citizens, Plastics are produced from natural materials like oil and plant minerals, yet the resulting material is entirely unnatural. This non-biodegradable substance has spread to every corner of the globe — from the deep sea to the Antarctic, and even into our bodies. Every piece of plastic ever made survives in some form, with most eventually breaking down into microplastics: fragments (碎片) smaller than 5 millimeters, invisible to the unaided eye. Scientists estimate that the upper oceans alone contain 24.4 trillion small microplastic pieces. Microplastics are divided into primary and secondary. Primary microplastics are intentionally produced in tiny form, while secondary microplastics result from the environmental breakdown of larger plastic items. The main types include: Types of microplastics 1 Fibers These thin, thread-like (丝状的) plastics come from clothing and cigarette ends. One of the main ways these fibers enter lakes is through washing machines. 2 Microbeads These tiny plastic balls are often added to personal care products but are difficult to remove from wastewater due to their small size. 3 Fragments When a larger piece of plastic breaks down due to sunlight and weathering, it becomes smaller microplastic fragments. 4 Nurdles (小球) Small plastic pieces produced to make larger products, escape into lakes and oceans during transportation. 5 Foam Used as packing protection in delivery boxes, this soft product can be broken down easily into microplastics. How long do common plastic items take to break down? Plastic bags Cigarette ends Coffee cups Bottles Toothbrushes Fishing lines Can holders Straws 20 years 5 years 30 years 450 years 500 years 600 years 400 years 200 years We therefore urge everyone to: 1. Reduce the use of single-use plastics. 2. Choose clothing made from natural fibers. 3. Participate in plastic waste sorting and recycling. 4. Select personal care products without microbeads. Protecting our planet begins with conscious daily choices. Green Living Advocacy Committee February 14, 2026 1. What is the main purpose of this initiative? A. To explain how microplastics are grouped. B. To promote efforts to reduce microplastics. C. To analyze how microplastics degrade in nature. D. To identify major sources of microplastics. 2. Which of the following are primary microplastics? A. 1,2 and 4. B. 2 and 4. C. 1,3 and 5. D. 1 and 3. 3. Which plastic item takes the longest time to break down? A. Plastic bags. B. Bottles. C. Toothbrushes. D. Fishing lines. B Zhang Hongjun once spent his days on noisy construction sites in Shanghai, far from his rural hometown in Fujian province. For over a decade, his life followed a common path: long hours of labor, low pay, and the loneliness of being a migrant worker in a vast city. He dreamed of a change but saw few opportunities back home. A visit became a turning point. Stuck in his village, Zhang noticed something new. The roads were paved, internet signals were strong, and the local government was offering support to those willing to start businesses. The beautiful mountains and fresh air, once taken for granted, now seemed full of potential. An idea began to form: what if he could build a future here, not just make a living there? Using his savings and a small government grant, Zhang took a daring step. He transformed his family’s old, empty house into a modern café, a place where city visitors could enjoy coffee while viewing the terraced fields. At first, neighbors were puzzled. “Who will come to the mountains for coffee?” they asked. Zhang persisted, learning about coffee beans and design online. Today, “Mountain Cloud Café” is more than a coffee shop. It’s a window for his village. Tourists come on weekends, and through his café, they discover and buy local specialties like mountain tea and dried fruits. Zhang has hired two local women, providing them with stable income. More importantly, his success has sparked a conversation. A few other young people, who once thought leaving was the only option, are now asking, “Could I come back too?” “My dream isn’t huge,” Zhang says, looking at the lively scene outside. “I just want our home to thrive, so that our children might have a choice to stay.” His journey from construction site to café owner paints a picture of modern rural China — one where returning wings bring new life. 4. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s early life as a migrant worker? A. Relaxed and secure. B. Disconnected but satisfied. C. Lonely and unfulfilled. D. Stressful but meaningful. 5. Why did Zhang return and start his Café business? A. He failed in his job in Shanghai. B. He was in poor condition in the city. C. He was invited by the local government. D. He found new changes and support in his village. 6. What can we learn about Mountain Cloud Café? A. It has helped develop the village. B. It features providing modern coffee. C. It mainly sells coffee to young villagers. D. It is well received from beginning to end. 7. What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. A New Trend of City Tourism B. The Importance of Local Specialties C. From Migrant Worker to Café Owner D. Ways to Run a Successful Country Café C Consumers rely on various ways to pay daily expenses. The problem is that they tend to spend more with cashless payment methods in comparison to cash. This striking cashless effect has recently been confirmed by researchers from the University of Adelaide. Led by PhD Student Lachlan Schomburgk, the research team analysed 71 published and unpublished studies from 17 countries, including data from more than 11,000 unique participants. They’ve found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status-signalling goods like jewellery, while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping. “Through this meta-analysis, we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker, which individual studies could not find. By doing this, we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies.” Schomburgk explains. The findings indicate that consumers should be mindful of how they pay for goods or services, as this helps them spend less, especially critical in the current cost-of-living crisis. To avoid overspending, they’re advised to carry cash instead of cards whenever possible as a self-control method. When using cash, they count and hand over notes and coins, making spending more noticeable. If nothing is physically handed over, it’s easy to lose track of how much is spent. The study also provides useful insights for businesses and policymakers. “Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential,” Schomburgk says. “And policymakers should communicate to individuals unfamiliar with cashless payments, such as people who don’t have bank accounts, about the possibility of cashless methods to lead to overspending.” Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies of new payment methods, as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty. Studying these methods is vital to keep pace with the evolving payment ecosystem and deepen understanding of modern consumers’ spending habits. 8. What has the study found about the cashless effect? A. It exists in acts of donation. B. It weakens with more cash use. C. It links to the living cost crisis. D. It works in specific consumption. 9. Why did the team adopt the meta-analysis? A. To solve the overspending problem. B. To compare cash and cashless payments. C. To confirm factors causing the effect. D. To break the limitations of single studies. 10. What does the underlined word “jeopardising” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Risking. B. Preserving. C. Shifting. D. Boosting. 11. What can be inferred about new payments according to Schomburgk? A. They need to be popularized. B. They are developing rapidly. C. They should be further studied. D. They will affect spending habits. D When an AI-generated painting won a major art competition in 2022, the art world was thrown into fierce debate: can art created by artificial intelligence be considered “real art”, or is it just a technical trick with no true creativity? Three years on, the debate has not faded. Instead, it has evolved into a deeper discussion about the nature of art, creativity and human expression in the digital age. On one side of the argument are traditional artists and critics who insist that art is a human experience, deeply rooted in emotion, personal struggle and subjective interpretation. They argue that AI cannot create art because it lacks consciousness. Though it can generate images based on millions of existing artworks, it cannot feel joy, sorrow, or inspiration, nor can it express a unique personal vision. A famous oil painter put it directly, “AI painting is like a parrot repeating words — it can copy form, but it cannot understand meaning.” These critics also warn that AI art risks devaluing human creativity, as anyone can generate a “painting” with a few clicks, making the years of training and practice required for human artists seem meaningless. On the other side are digital artists, tech experts and some contemporary art curators (馆长) who believe AI is just a new tool for artistic creation, no different from the paintbrush or the camera when they were first invented. They point out that all art is built on inspiration from the past. Human artists learn from masterpieces, just as AI learns from existing works. What matters, they argue, is not who or what creates the art, but the intention behind it and the reaction it evokes in the viewer. Many AI artists spend months adjusting AI models, choosing themes, and adjusting details to express their ideas. This process, they say, is no less creative than mixing paint on a canvas. Some curators even note that AI art has opened up new possibilities for art, allowing people with no traditional art training to express their creativity and making art more accessible to the public. The truth, perhaps, lies somewhere in the middle. AI is not a replacement for human artists, nor is it a meaningless technical toy. It is a new medium that challenges us to rethink what art is and what it can be. As one art scholar wrote, “Creativity is not about the tool; it is about the mind that uses the tool. Whether the mind is human or artificial, the art it creates deserves to be judged on its own merits (优点), not its origin.” 12. Why does the author mention the 2022 AI painting competition incident? A. To inform the reader of the news. B. To introduce the topic. C. To explain what is AI painting. D. To make a conclusion. 13. Why do traditional artists refuse AI paintings? A. They don’t have sufficient training. B. They copy too many existing artworks. C. They lack real feelings and personal creativity. D. They are produced too quickly with simple clicks. 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Support for AI as an art tool. B. How AI learns from old works. C. The tough creation process of AI artists. D. AI artists are better than traditional artists. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards AI art? A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Neutral. 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。 From the moment humankind first closed its eyes and slipped into the shifting landscapes of sleep, dreams have haunted (萦绕) and fascinated us. At night, images rise uninvited: loved ones long gone, gods who speak in riddles, beasts both feared and admired, and journeys across impossible places. ___16___ They were messages, and visions — a secret language whispered by the universe to the soul. In ancient China, the Zhou Li (Rites of Zhou) and other classical texts describe dream interpretation as a means to predict the future. Dreams were believed to reveal disturbances in the balance of yin and yang, or it could signal harmony restored. For example, a dream of flowing water might symbolize life’s continuity. ___17___ One of the most famous dream passages in Chinese philosophy comes from Zhuangzi. He once dreamed he was a butterfly. Upon waking, he questioned whether he was a man who dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly now dreaming he was a man. ___18___ It vividly captured the Chinese view of dreams as a space which is a mix of reality and illusion (错觉). ___19___ Researchers in neuroscience explain dreams as patterns of brain activity, memory processing, and emotional regulation. REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, where most vivid dreaming occurs, is now understood as crucial for learning and psychological balance. Sigmund Freud suggested dreams were wish-fulfillments; Carl Jung saw them as messages from the collective unconscious. Though modernity explains dreams with science, it cannot remove their poetic charm. We are still dreamers, still seekers, still interpreters of the night’s riddles. ___20___ We walk with gods, with ancestors, with the timeless mysteries of existence. A.

Out of the colorful flowers popped a little bee. Cho moved back in fear and shouted to her friend Mateo, “Watch out! It might hurt you!” She waved her hands to shoo the tiny creature away. As a kid, Cho always thought bees were just annoying troubles that brought nothing but stings (叮咬). But Mateo, whose grandpa was known as the “Beeman,” shook his head. He remembered his grandpa’s words: “When you help a bee, you are actually helping your own future dinner.” So he explained softly to Cho, “Bees aren’t here to hurt us. They pollinate (授粉) one-third of the food we eat. Without their hard work, our garden wouldn’t grow any sunflowers, apples, or peas.” Thinking the words over, Cho nodded in agreement. The two looked at the tiny creature with respect, knowing that every bee was essential to the world. However, the bee seemed to be in deep trouble. It stayed still on a flower, whose legs were trembling. It was simply too tired or too weak to fly. They quickly mixed a spoonful of sugar water to feed it, hoping to give the bee some energy. Moments later, it still rested on the flower, shaking and unable to move its tiny wings. Determined to save it, the two friends decided to make Mateo’s balcony (阳台) a heaven for it and other bees. They gathered some plastic bottles and other materials, planning to build a “Bee Hotel.” They hoped such a shelter would provide safe cells for bees. But before they could begin, the sky turned grey, and a strong wind began to blow. With the storm approaching fast, the materials were still lying all around on the balcony. The two friends knew they had to act fast as the first raindrops began to fall. 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。 Mateo and Cho hurried to build the “Bee Hotel”. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, the sun rose over the balcony. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
