The three kids gathered closely, admiring the gentle purple blossoms hidden between the weeds. No one complained anymore. Instead, they worked carefully, clearing weeds around the flowers softly to protect the little plants. Sam even sang happily as he worked. Together, we tidied the whole garden, and the yard soon looked neat and lively again. That afternoon, my husband came home, his eyes widening at the garden. He couldn’t believe the changes — no wild weeds, but clean soil and blooming lavender. I told him how Emma found the lovely flower and changed the whole day. The kids proudly showed him their work, talking excitedly about their exploration. What was just a tiring chore turned into a warm family activity. We all learned that working together could create something beautiful and meaningful. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 东山中学 2026 届高三热身考试（英语试卷） 2026-06 命题人：第三小组 总分：120 分 总时长：120 分钟 第一部分 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 ABCD 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Amazing Statues Humans have been making statues (sculptures of humans, animals or mythical beings) since prehistoric times.

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 Papercutting, a beloved traditional Chinese folk art with a history of more than 1,500 years, has recently earned widespread international attention through a groundbreaking exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London. The art form, which involves intricate cutting of paper into delicate patterns, dates back to the 6th century in China, where it was used for festivals, weddings, and household decorations. However, with rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles, papercutting gradually faded from daily life by the late 20th century, viewed as a “craft of the elderly” with little modern relevance and marginalized in its homeland for a time. The V&A’s exhibition, Papercutting: Art of the Scissor, which ran from July to September 2024, showcased over 150 works by 30 artists from China, Japan, Germany, and the United States. What made the exhibition unique was its fusion of traditional techniques with contemporary themes — works addressed climate change, gender equality, and urban isolation, breaking the stereotype that papercutting is only for festive occasions. For example, Chinese artist Li Wei’s piece Melting Ice uses blue paper to depict shrinking glaciers, with tiny cut-out figures of polar bears struggling on floating ice. The exhibition’s curator, Dr. Clara Bennett, a British art historian specializing in Asian folk art, first encountered papercutting during a research trip to China in 2018. She was struck by how elderly artisans in rural villages preserved the craft, often passing skills down through female family members. “Papercutting is not just about cutting paper — it’s a language of memory and emotion,” Dr. Bennett said in an interview. “Each cut tells a story, whether it’s a grandmother’s wish for her grandchild or a young artist’s concern for the planet.” The exhibition’s impact extended beyond gallery walls. It sparked a global revival of papercutting: art schools in Paris and New York launched papercutting workshops, and Chinese cultural centers worldwide hosted mini-exhibitions. In China itself, the art form regained popularity among young people, with social media platforms flooded with creative papercut works. Many young artists now combine papercutting with digital art, projecting cut-out patterns onto buildings or creating animated papercut videos. Critics argue that papercutting’s global success reflects a broader trend: the world’s growing appreciation for folk art that bridges tradition and modernity. Unlike high-profile fine arts, folk art often carries the voices of ordinary people, making it relatable across cultures. As Dr. Bennett noted, “Art doesn’t have to be grand to be powerful. Sometimes, a single piece of cut paper can connect hearts across continents.” 8. What does the underlined word “marginalized” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Ignored. B. Preserved. C. Developed. D. Celebrated. 9. What made the V&A’s papercutting exhibition different from traditional ones? A. It featured works by Chinese artists only. B. It focused on the historical origin of papercutting. C. It combined traditional skills with modern themes. D. It displayed papercut works for festive occasions. 10. Why did Dr. Bennett organize the papercutting exhibition? A. To promote Chinese culture in the UK. B. To highlight the emotional and cultural value of papercutting. C. To compete with other art exhibitions at the V&A. D. To train young papercut artists worldwide. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Folk art is less powerful than fine art. B. Papercutting will replace other forms of art. C. Globalization has negative effects on traditional art. D. Traditional folk art can gain new life through cross-cultural communication. D Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought. Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking. 12. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance. C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines. 13. How does “digital microscope” function in the research? A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs. C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A. It may make up stuff. B. It may skip chains of thought. C. It may leave out clues. D. It may give logical reasoning. 15. Which of the following titles best suits this text? A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots 第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 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. 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节：完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）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。 Every dream lost in the dark longs for a ray of light — and for Lily, that light came from a stranger.

This marked the flower’s introduction into imperial gardens. By the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Peonies had played a significant role 40 both literature and art, earning the title “national flower” during this era.

Our backyard, once my pride and joy, had become a wild grassland where weeds staged a full-scale occupation over the flower beds. To make matters more challenging, my three children — Mike, Emma, and little Sam — had been bursting with restless energy all week, their stored excitement from school ready to burst forth before a long weekend. “We’re having a backyard exploration today,” I announced at breakfast, already expecting complaints. The reaction was mixed. Ten-year-old Mike asked if this was one of those “fun chores,” while Emma simply sighed. But Sam’s eyes lit up. I handed out old hats and gloves — comically large on Sam — and explained our mission: reclaim the kingdom from the weeds. We started pulling weeds. Sam proudly held up every weed as if it were a captured enemy flag, while Mike fell into a rhythm of quiet determination. “That’s how you know you’re really working,” he said wisely when Emma complained about her back. To keep their spirits up, I played upbeat music, and soon we were pulling and dancing down the flower bed — all except Emma, who still sat apart, arms crossed. I walked over and knelt beside her. “Come see something,” I said gently. She hesitated but followed me to a flower bed, where among the thick green leaves, something small and purple caught the morning light — a lavender (薰衣草) flower, half-hidden, still alive. Emma bent down for a closer look, her eyes widening. Her fingers, once unwilling, now moved with care as she gently parted the leaves, revealing more tiny purple flowers beneath. She looked up at me, and for the first time that morning, she smiled. Without a word, she began carefully clearing the weeds around the lavender. The others noticed and gathered around, their pulling becoming more purposeful. In that quiet moment, the garden began to feel like ours again — not because the weeds were gone, but because we had discovered something worth protecting together. 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。 “Mike! Sam! Come and look!” Emma called out. ________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ That afternoon, my husband came home, his eyes widening at the garden. _____________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
