漯河实验高中2023级高三年级考前测评 英语试题 （听力略） 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A When we talk about generations, one generation stands out more than any else, Generation Alpha, or Gen Alpha. They are kids who were born from 2010 onwards and the total number of them had been 2.2 billion by 2025. Unlike their parents Gen Y, Gen Alpha are the first generation growing up in the environment where iPads, AI and online classrooms are completely normal. Here are the data about them. ASPECT GEN ALPHA OVERVIEW Tech Usage 65% use tablets/smartphones daily; 50%use voice assistants Education 70% adopt a blended (融合的) method of online and offline learning Social Media 40% of kids aged 8 to 11 have a social media presence Entertainment 70% of screen time is on social media platforms While Gen Alpha are still young, they are pushing their parents to try new things. A report released by public relations firm DKC in July, 2025 said parents were having new experiences thanks to the influence of their Gen Alpha kids. For example, 40% of the parents surveyed said they had signed up for a subscription service at their kid’s suggestion. (Find more examples from the survey in the bar chart below.) Trying different foods Traveling to different vacation destinations Using new beauty products Watching different sports Paying for premium subscriptions Buying items during drops DATA: DKC GEN ALPHA REPORT 2025 So, when we look at Gen Alpha, it is pretty clear that they are not just a typical group of kids growing up; they are literally the future of our world. They are the most digital and possibly the most powerful generation we have ever seen. Gen Alpha will surely change education, technology, business and culture itself. While it is still early days, one thing worth anticipating is that instead of just adapting to the world they inherit (继承), they will be more and more influential in shaping the future of the world. 1. What is the percentage of Gen Alpha who study in a mixed way according to the table? A. 40%. B. 50%. C. 65%. D. 70%. 2. In which aspect do Gen Alpha impact on their parents most according to the chart? A. Trying foods. B. Buying items during drops. C. Watching sports. D. Choosing holiday destinations. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To display characteristics of a new generation. B. To describe an economic trend of consumption. C. To clarify the gap between Gen Alpha and Gen Y. D. To introduce a technology-related education system. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍阿尔法世代的特点及其对父母和未来社会的影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第一个表格中Education一栏“70% adopt a blended (融合的) method of online and offline learning (70%的人采用线上线下相结合的学习模式。)”可知，阿尔法世代采用混合方式学习的比例是70%。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中条形图上方括号内提示“Find more examples from the survey in the bar chart below. (从下面的条形图中找到更多调查案例。)”以及条形图所列影响项对比可知，“Trying different foods (尝试不同的食物)”是阿尔法世代对父母影响最大的方面。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“When we talk about generations, one generation stands out more than any else, Generation Alpha, or Gen Alpha. They are kids who were born from 2010 onwards and the total number of them had been 2.2 billion by 2025. Unlike their parents Gen Y, Gen Alpha are the first generation growing up in the environment where iPads, AI and online classrooms are completely normal. (当我们谈论世代划分时，有一代人格外与众不同，那就是阿尔法世代。 他们指2010年及以后出生的孩子，到2025年，这一群体总人口已达22亿。 与身为Y世代的父母不同，阿尔法世代是首批成长在平板、人工智能和在线课堂成为常态环境下的一代人。)”可知，文章开篇介绍了阿尔法世代的出生时间、人数，接着从科技使用、教育、社交媒体、娱乐等方面阐述了他们的特点，还提到他们对父母的影响，最后强调他们是未来世界的塑造者，会改变教育、科技、商业和文化等。文章整体围绕阿尔法世代这一新群体的各种特征展开描述，目的是展示这一代人的特点。 B Every time I walk into the library and pick out yet another great book, I cannot help but remember how it all started. When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on. All this changed when my aunt Kate moved in with us. Previously, my mom would pick a book and explain all the illustrations in it. My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited (点燃) my love of books and language. Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions. When I was eight and thought it was time for me to read my first thousand-page novel, all she did was smile. The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language. However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer. Now she has over a dozen children’s books under her authorship. I have changed my career choice a few times in the course of my life — a novelist, journalist, and script (剧本) writer. It does not matter what I end up doing, but my love for language will have to be reflected in my career path. My aunt used to tell me, “Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.” I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life. 4. What can we learn about the author’s earliest reading experience? A. He liked the colorful covers of books. B. He preferred to read with great passion. C. He enjoyed telling stories to his parents. D. He loved the pretty pictures in the books. 5. What inspired the author to explore the beauty of language? A. His aunt’s career dream. B. His aunt’s writing thirst. C. His aunt’s patient guidance. D. His aunt’s passionate voice. 6. How did the author help his aunt achieve her goal? A. By sharing his stories. B. By making comments. C. By being her audience. D. By offering suggestions. 7. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. He will stick to seeking the truth of life. B. He will go on pursuing the art of language. C. He will keep reflecting on his career choices. D. He will continue to spread children’s goodness. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了姑姑凯特通过朗读与耐心引导，点燃自己对文字与书籍热爱的经历；同时作者的喜爱也助力姑姑实现了儿童文学作家的梦想，最终作者决心一生追寻语言艺术。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on.(小时候，我喜欢书主要是因为里面漂亮的插图，比如动物、孩子、风景等等。)”可知，作者早期阅读时喜欢书中的精美图画。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited my love of books and language.(而我的姑姑则会兴致勃勃地给我读故事，这激发了我对书籍和语言的热爱。)”以及第三段“Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions.(即便在我能够自己阅读的时候，她仍然会留意我读的内容，并且有时还会给出一些建议。) ”和“The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language.(事实上，从我姑姑第一次满足我对一本写得好的书的渴望开始，我就开始了一段探索语言之美的旅程。)”可知，是姑姑耐心的引导激发了作者探索语言之美。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer.(然而，我当时并不知道，我对她朗读的兴趣，帮助她实现了当儿童文学作家的梦想。)”可知，作者作为听众，支持姑姑实现了目标。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“My aunt used to tell me, ‘Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.’ I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life.(姑姑曾对我说：‘语言就像一棵树，根在追寻美好，叶在沐浴美好。’我决定继续深耕，相信美好会在我的生命中显现。)”可知，作者将继续追求语言艺术。故选B。 C We’ve all heard that ostriches (鸵鸟) bury their heads in the sand when danger approaches. While untrue for the ostriches, it mirrors a common human behavior called “information avoidance” — the active choice to turn away from the freely available information highly relevant to ourselves. But why do we change from naturally curious children into selective information avoiders? A 2025 study titled “Becoming an Ostrich” explored this. Researchers had children aged 5 to 10 play a game where researchers designed two candy distribution schemes (方案): equal shares for each, or one large share and one small share. Most children chose the latter and claimed the large share. Then, researchers asked whether they would like to know how many candies were left for their partner. The result was interesting. Younger children showed strong curiosity, actively seeking their partner’s information. The older children, however, increasingly chose to avoid it. Researchers explained as children grow older, they become more concerned with feeling at ease — even if their actions might not be moral. By avoiding their partner’s information, they tend to keep a sense of fairness, or at least appearing fair. This strategy makes it easier to act in satisfying personal interests without feeling guilty. They note that adults routinely employ the same approach in various real-life situations. Yet avoidance has long-term costs. Skipping health screenings may ease anxiety now, but can risk serious health issues later. Avoiding tough conversations may prevent short term conflict, but will likely trap people in unsatisfying relationships. “By repeatedly avoiding opposing views,” researchers warn, “we build avoidance habits that can harden into rigid thinking patterns over time.” It’s no wonder researchers refer to this as a fundamental human contradiction: we start out in life as curious explorers, eager as possible to absorb whatever knowledge we can. Yet, somewhere along the way, we learn to stick our heads in the sand like an ostrich. This comfortable escape, nevertheless, can shape our choices and determine how our lives unfold. Recognizing this is the first step toward reclaiming the courageous curiosity that defines our earliest years. 8. How does the author introduce “information avoidance” in Paragraph 1? A. By using a metaphor. B. By offering statistics. C. By showing an argument. D. By giving an example. 9. Why did the older children avoid their partner’s information? A. To maintain a nice self-image. B. To safeguard others’ interests. C. To sustain their sense of guilt. D. To obey the rules of the game. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The consequences of avoidance actions. B. The ways of forming thinking patterns. C. The reasons of ignoring opposing views. D. The health costs of our avoidance habits. 11. What can be a suitable title of the text? A. Does avoidance bring true happiness? B. Should we bury our heads like an ostrich? C. Can we shape our childhood curiosity? D. Is avoidance a path to greater curiosity? 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过鸵鸟的比喻引出“信息回避”这一概念，通过一项研究探讨了人们为何从好奇的孩子变成选择性回避信息的人，并分析了信息回避的原因、后果，最后呼吁人们重新找回早年勇敢的好奇心。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“We’ve all heard that ostriches (鸵鸟) bury their heads in the sand when danger approaches. While untrue for the ostriches, it mirrors a common human behavior called “information avoidance” — the active choice to turn away from the freely available information highly relevant to ourselves.(我们都听说过，当危险来临时，鸵鸟会把头埋在沙子里。虽然这对鸵鸟来说是不真实的，但它反映了一种常见的人类行为，称为“信息回避”——即主动选择避开那些与我们自身高度相关且唾手可得的信息)”可推知，作者通过将人类主动选择回避信息的行为与鸵鸟遇到危险时把头埋进沙子的行为进行类比，从而引出“信息回避”这一概念。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Researchers explained as children grow older, they become more concerned with feeling at ease — even if their actions might not be moral. By avoiding their partner’s information, they tend to keep a sense of fairness, or at least appearing fair. This strategy makes it easier to act in satisfying personal interests without feeling guilty.(研究人员解释称，随着孩子年龄增长，他们更倾向于追求心理舒适——即使其行为可能不符合道德标准。通过回避伙伴的信息，他们试图维持(或至少表现出)公平感。这种策略能让人更容易地在满足个人利益的同时，避免产生愧疚感)”可知，年龄较大的孩子回避伙伴的信息是为了维持一种(至少是表面的)公平感和良好的自我感觉，以避免内疚。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Yet avoidance has long-term costs. Skipping health screenings may ease anxiety now, but can risk serious health issues later. Avoiding tough conversations may prevent short term conflict, but will likely trap people in unsatisfying relationships. “By repeatedly avoiding opposing views,” researchers warn, “we build avoidance habits that can harden into rigid thinking patterns over time.”(然而，回避是有长期代价的。跳过健康检查现在可能可以缓解焦虑，但以后可能会面临严重的健康问题。回避艰难的对话可能可以避免短期的冲突，但可能会使人们陷入不满意的关系中。研究人员警告说：“通过反复回避相反的观点，我们会养成回避的习惯，随着时间的推移，这些习惯会变成僵化的思维模式。”)”可知，本段主要讲述了信息回避带来的各种后果。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It’s no wonder researchers refer to this as a fundamental human contradiction: we start out in life as curious explorers, eager as possible to absorb whatever knowledge we can. Yet, somewhere along the way, we learn to stick our heads in the sand like an ostrich. This comfortable escape, nevertheless, can shape our choices and determine how our lives unfold. Recognizing this is the first step toward reclaiming the courageous curiosity that defines our earliest years.(难怪研究人员称这是一个基本的人类矛盾：我们一开始是好奇的探索者，尽可能急切地吸收任何我们能吸收的知识。然而，在人生的某个阶段，我们学会了像鸵鸟一样把头埋进沙子里。然而，这种舒适的逃避可以塑造我们的选择，决定我们生活的展开方式。认识到这一点是重新找回定义我们早年勇敢好奇心的第一步)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了人们为何会像鸵鸟一样回避信息，以及这种行为带来的后果，最后呼吁人们不要像鸵鸟一样回避信息，要勇敢面对。B项“Should we bury our heads like an ostrich?(我们应该像鸵鸟一样埋头吗?)”以问句形式，既呼应了开头的比喻，又点明了文章探讨的核心问题，作为文章标题最为合适。故选B项。 D When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 12. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 13. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 14. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 15. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现，澳大利亚一处热带雨林从“碳汇”转变为“碳源”，即释放的碳比吸收的多，分析了这一转变的原因、意义，并引用专家观点说明相关长期数据的价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as ‘carbon sinks’ — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite.(说到给地球降温，热带雨林扮演着“碳汇”的角色——它们的树木从空气中吸收二氧化碳。现在，一项新研究发现澳大利亚的一处雨林却在做相反的事情)”以及第二段中的“researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago.(研究人员发现，这片森林释放的碳比吸收的多，这种转变大约发生在25年前)”可知，该研究聚焦于澳大利亚雨林碳平衡的变化（从吸收碳变为释放碳）。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University.(因为树木在枯萎腐烂时，会将储存的碳重新释放到大气中西悉尼大学森林生态系统研究员、该研究的主要作者汉娜·卡尔说，这种转变表明，这片澳大利亚雨林的树木死亡速度比几十年前更快了)”可知，第三段中的转变（从碳汇变为碳源）表明树木死亡率上升。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,(澳大利亚的湿润热带地区比其他大陆的热带雨林所处的气候更温暖、更干燥，因此有可能成为世界其他地区热带雨林未来遭遇的情况的analog)”可知，澳大利亚雨林的气候环境与其他地区未来可能出现的情况有相似性，由此可猜测analog意为“相似的例子”。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.”(拉斐尔・特鲁夫任职于澳大利亚墨尔本大学，主要研究森林动态，且并未参与该项研究。他向《卫报》表示，这类数据集有助于追踪气候与环境的变化。“它能让我们将理论与现实对照，更深入地了解这些生态系统的运行机制。”)”可知，拉斐尔·特鲁夫认为这些长期数据集能帮助人们洞察真相（了解系统运作、验证理论）。故选A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。 Social anxiety is more than just occasional shyness — it is a persistent and intense fear of being judged or criticized in social situations. ___16___ While it is normal to feel nervous before a speech, social anxiety can make daily activities — such as speaking in class, or attending gatherings — extremely upsetting. Researchers are learning that anxiety disorders run in families, and that they have a biological basis. Anxiety disorders typically develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life experiences. Although social anxiety is highly treatable, only about one-third of those affected seek help. ___17___ There are practical ways to cope with social anxiety. One effective approach is to face fears gradually. Start with less challenging social tasks — such as greeting a classmate — and slowly progress to more difficult ones, like giving a short presentation. ___18___ They can shift attention away from yourself and keep the conversation flowing smoothly. ___19___ But the truth is that those opinions of others have no reflection on your worth or talents. Social anxiety treatment includes learning to be flawed (有缺陷的), while at the same time rejecting the need for approval from external sources. Consistently overestimating how much and how badly others think of you only causes you to be more depressed. Rather than criticizing yourself after each social interaction, reward yourself instead. ___20___ You deserve the praise, and you will be more motivated to do it again if there are some self-high-fives or frozen yogurts on the back end. A. Positive self-talk is another helpful tool. B. Social anxiety is tied to feelings of being judged. C. Left unaddressed, it may lead to loneliness or depression. D. To prepare some open-ended questions also makes sense. E. Being a perfectionist is fine in rocket science, but not in real life. F. Individuals with this condition often imagine things going wrong in interactions. G. Whether you attended a party or started a conversation, acknowledge your effort. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了社交焦虑的定义、成因、影响以及应对方法。 【16题详解】 由上文“Social anxiety is more than just occasional shyness — it is a persistent and intense fear of being judged or criticized in social situations. (社交焦虑不仅仅是偶尔的害羞——它是在社交场合中被评判或批评的持续而强烈的恐惧。)”可知，上文定义了社交焦虑，本空应进一步说明患有社交焦虑的人的具体表现。F选项“Individuals with this condition often imagine things going wrong in interactions. (患有这种疾病的人经常想象在互动中会出错。)”能承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 由上文“Although social anxiety is highly treatable, only about one-third of those affected seek help. (尽管社交焦虑症是可以高度治疗的，但只有约三分之一的受影响者寻求帮助。)”可知，上文提到只有少数社交焦虑症患者寻求帮助，本空应说明如果不处理社交焦虑会带来的后果。C选项“Left unaddressed, it may lead to loneliness or depression. (如果不加以处理，它可能会导致孤独或抑郁。)”能承接上文，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 由上文“One effective approach is to face fears gradually. Start with less challenging social tasks — such as greeting a classmate — and slowly progress to more difficult ones, like giving a short presentation. (一个有效的方法是逐渐面对恐惧。从不太有挑战性的社交任务开始——比如和同学打招呼——然后慢慢进步到更困难的任务，比如做一个简短的演讲。)”及下文“They can shift attention away from yourself and keep the conversation flowing smoothly. (它们可以将注意力从你自己身上转移开，让对话顺利进行。)”可知，上文建议逐渐面对社交恐惧，下文提到它们能转移注意力并使对话流畅，本空应提出一个具体的应对社交焦虑的方法，且该方法与对话有关。选项“To prepare some open-ended questions also makes sense. (准备一些开放性的问题也是有道理的。)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 由下文“But the truth is that those opinions of others have no reflection on your worth or talents. (但事实是，别人的这些看法并不能反映你的价值或才能。)”可知，下文提到别人的看法不能反映你的价值或才能，本空应引出与别人看法相关的内容。B选项“Social anxiety is tied to feelings of being judged. (社交焦虑与被评判的感觉有关。)”能引出下文，符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 由上文“Rather than criticizing yourself after each social interaction, reward yourself instead. (与其在每次社交互动后批评自己，不如奖励自己。)”可知，上文提到社交互动后要奖励自己，本空应说明奖励自己的具体做法，G选项“Whether you attended a party or started a conversation, acknowledge your effort.

His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change. "See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. Clutching the broken watch, he hurried home. Like usual, the house lay empty and quiet. But this time, the loneliness felt unbearable — not because Ling was gone, but because the people he truly needed were absent. He waited and waited. It was nearly midnight when his parents finally returned. They were alarmed to see Tom curling up on the sofa, face wet with tears. “What happened, Tom?” Mom rushed over. Wordlessly, he held out the broken watch. Dad soon fetched his toolbox trying to fix it, but in vain. Seeing this, Tom couldn’t contain himself any longer and burst into desperate sobs. Between gasps, he poured out his loneliness — the silent dinners, the empty house, the longing for someone to be there. At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. They realized that no watch, however smart, could ever take the place of their presence. Immediately, Mom wrapped her arms around Tom, apologizing, “I’m so sorry. We thought the watch was enough, but we were wrong.” Dad knelt beside them, his voice thick with guilt. “From now on, we’ll be home earlier. No more lonely dinners.” Together they drew up a family schedule — Tuesday night board games, Friday pizza-making, Sunday afternoons in the park. They promised to make it a weekly routine and wrote it on the family calendar in bright colors. That night, the family came to understand technology might offer comfort, but only love could fill the silence of an empty home. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了 10 岁的汤姆因父母忙于工作而感到孤独，父母为他买了带有智能伙伴 Ling 的手表缓解孤独，而当手表损坏、Ling 消失后，汤姆向父母倾诉了内心的孤独，父母也终于意识到陪伴的重要性，承诺给予汤姆更多关爱与陪伴的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ① 由第一段开头给出的线索可知，汤姆手表损坏、Ling 无法回应，只能向父母求助；后需续可写汤姆等待父母、向父母展示损坏的手表、倾诉内心孤独的过程，体现他对父母陪伴的渴望。 ②由第二段开头给出的线索可知，父母听到汤姆的倾诉后幡然醒悟；后续可以写父母的愧疚、道歉，以及他们为弥补过错所做的具体行动，呼应 “陪伴比科技更重要” 的主题。 2.续写线索手表损坏无回应→汤姆回家等待父母→父母深夜归来发现汤姆哭泣→汤姆展示损坏的手表并倾诉孤独→父母醒悟并愧疚道歉→制定家庭陪伴计划→领悟陪伴的意义。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ① 紧握：clutch /hold tightly ② 修理：fix /repair/mend ③ 倾诉：pour out /speak out ④ 制定：draw up /work out 情绪类： ① 绝望的：desperate /hopeless ② 深感内疚：thick with guilt /feel extremely ashamed ③ 欣慰的：relieved /comforted 【点睛】【高分句型 1】They were alarmed to see Tom curling up on the sofa, face wet with tears.（运用了不定式作状语和独立主格） 【高分句型 2】They realized that no watch, however smart, could ever take the place of their presence.（运用了that 引导的宾语从句，以及 however 引导的让步状语从句的省略形式） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 漯河实验高中2023级高三年级考前测评 英语试题 （听力略） 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A When we talk about generations, one generation stands out more than any else, Generation Alpha, or Gen Alpha. They are kids who were born from 2010 onwards and the total number of them had been 2.2 billion by 2025. Unlike their parents Gen Y, Gen Alpha are the first generation growing up in the environment where iPads, AI and online classrooms are completely normal. Here are the data about them. ASPECT GEN ALPHA OVERVIEW Tech Usage 65% use tablets/smartphones daily; 50%use voice assistants Education 70% adopt a blended (融合的) method of online and offline learning Social Media 40% of kids aged 8 to 11 have a social media presence Entertainment 70% of screen time is on social media platforms While Gen Alpha are still young, they are pushing their parents to try new things. A report released by public relations firm DKC in July, 2025 said parents were having new experiences thanks to the influence of their Gen Alpha kids. For example, 40% of the parents surveyed said they had signed up for a subscription service at their kid’s suggestion. (Find more examples from the survey in the bar chart below.) Trying different foods Traveling to different vacation destinations Using new beauty products Watching different sports Paying for premium subscriptions Buying items during drops DATA: DKC GEN ALPHA REPORT 2025 So, when we look at Gen Alpha, it is pretty clear that they are not just a typical group of kids growing up; they are literally the future of our world. They are the most digital and possibly the most powerful generation we have ever seen. Gen Alpha will surely change education, technology, business and culture itself. While it is still early days, one thing worth anticipating is that instead of just adapting to the world they inherit (继承), they will be more and more influential in shaping the future of the world. 1. What is the percentage of Gen Alpha who study in a mixed way according to the table? A. 40%. B. 50%. C. 65%. D. 70%. 2. In which aspect do Gen Alpha impact on their parents most according to the chart? A. Trying foods. B. Buying items during drops. C. Watching sports. D. Choosing holiday destinations. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To display characteristics of a new generation. B. To describe an economic trend of consumption. C. To clarify the gap between Gen Alpha and Gen Y. D. To introduce a technology-related education system. B Every time I walk into the library and pick out yet another great book, I cannot help but remember how it all started. When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on. All this changed when my aunt Kate moved in with us. Previously, my mom would pick a book and explain all the illustrations in it. My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited (点燃) my love of books and language. Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions. When I was eight and thought it was time for me to read my first thousand-page novel, all she did was smile. The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language. However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer. Now she has over a dozen children’s books under her authorship. I have changed my career choice a few times in the course of my life — a novelist, journalist, and script (剧本) writer. It does not matter what I end up doing, but my love for language will have to be reflected in my career path. My aunt used to tell me, “Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.” I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life. 4. What can we learn about the author’s earliest reading experience? A. He liked the colorful covers of books. B. He preferred to read with great passion. C. He enjoyed telling stories to his parents. D. He loved the pretty pictures in the books. 5. What inspired the author to explore the beauty of language? A. His aunt’s career dream. B. His aunt’s writing thirst. C. His aunt’s patient guidance. D. His aunt’s passionate voice. 6. How did the author help his aunt achieve her goal? A. By sharing his stories. B. By making comments. C. By being her audience. D. By offering suggestions. 7. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. He will stick to seeking the truth of life. B. He will go on pursuing the art of language. C. He will keep reflecting on his career choices. D. He will continue to spread children’s goodness. C We’ve all heard that ostriches (鸵鸟) bury their heads in the sand when danger approaches. While untrue for the ostriches, it mirrors a common human behavior called “information avoidance” — the active choice to turn away from the freely available information highly relevant to ourselves. But why do we change from naturally curious children into selective information avoiders? A 2025 study titled “Becoming an Ostrich” explored this. Researchers had children aged 5 to 10 play a game where researchers designed two candy distribution schemes (方案): equal shares for each, or one large share and one small share. Most children chose the latter and claimed the large share. Then, researchers asked whether they would like to know how many candies were left for their partner. The result was interesting. Younger children showed strong curiosity, actively seeking their partner’s information. The older children, however, increasingly chose to avoid it. Researchers explained as children grow older, they become more concerned with feeling at ease — even if their actions might not be moral. By avoiding their partner’s information, they tend to keep a sense of fairness, or at least appearing fair. This strategy makes it easier to act in satisfying personal interests without feeling guilty. They note that adults routinely employ the same approach in various real-life situations. Yet avoidance has long-term costs. Skipping health screenings may ease anxiety now, but can risk serious health issues later. Avoiding tough conversations may prevent short term conflict, but will likely trap people in unsatisfying relationships. “By repeatedly avoiding opposing views,” researchers warn, “we build avoidance habits that can harden into rigid thinking patterns over time.” It’s no wonder researchers refer to this as a fundamental human contradiction: we start out in life as curious explorers, eager as possible to absorb whatever knowledge we can. Yet, somewhere along the way, we learn to stick our heads in the sand like an ostrich. This comfortable escape, nevertheless, can shape our choices and determine how our lives unfold. Recognizing this is the first step toward reclaiming the courageous curiosity that defines our earliest years. 8. How does the author introduce “information avoidance” in Paragraph 1? A. By using a metaphor. B. By offering statistics. C. By showing an argument. D. By giving an example. 9. Why did the older children avoid their partner’s information? A. To maintain a nice self-image. B. To safeguard others’ interests. C. To sustain their sense of guilt. D. To obey the rules of the game. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The consequences of avoidance actions. B. The ways of forming thinking patterns. C. The reasons of ignoring opposing views. D. The health costs of our avoidance habits. 11. What can be a suitable title of the text? A. Does avoidance bring true happiness? B. Should we bury our heads like an ostrich? C. Can we shape our childhood curiosity? D. Is avoidance a path to greater curiosity? D When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 12. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 13. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 14. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 15. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. 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。 Social anxiety is more than just occasional shyness — it is a persistent and intense fear of being judged or criticized in social situations. ___16___ While it is normal to feel nervous before a speech, social anxiety can make daily activities — such as speaking in class, or attending gatherings — extremely upsetting. Researchers are learning that anxiety disorders run in families, and that they have a biological basis. Anxiety disorders typically develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life experiences. Although social anxiety is highly treatable, only about one-third of those affected seek help. ___17___ There are practical ways to cope with social anxiety. One effective approach is to face fears gradually. Start with less challenging social tasks — such as greeting a classmate — and slowly progress to more difficult ones, like giving a short presentation. ___18___ They can shift attention away from yourself and keep the conversation flowing smoothly. ___19___ But the truth is that those opinions of others have no reflection on your worth or talents. Social anxiety treatment includes learning to be flawed (有缺陷的), while at the same time rejecting the need for approval from external sources. Consistently overestimating how much and how badly others think of you only causes you to be more depressed. Rather than criticizing yourself after each social interaction, reward yourself instead. ___20___ You deserve the praise, and you will be more motivated to do it again if there are some self-high-fives or frozen yogurts on the back end. A. Positive self-talk is another helpful tool. B. Social anxiety is tied to feelings of being judged. C. Left unaddressed, it may lead to loneliness or depression. D. To prepare some open-ended questions also makes sense. E. Being a perfectionist is fine in rocket science, but not in real life. F. Individuals with this condition often imagine things going wrong in interactions. G. Whether you attended a party or started a conversation, acknowledge your effort. 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I majored in Mechanical Engineering in college and what I experienced during the job-hunting season in my final year changed my life completely.

His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change. "See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
