Under the accord, nations committed themselves to keeping global temperatures well below a two-degree-Celsius increase over preindustrial levels and to striving to limit that increase to 1.5°C. These goals were ambitious and required greenhouse gas emissions to begin declining by 2025. Yet emissions continue to rise. In 2015 the average global temperature was 1.1°C hotter than it was during the preindustrial period. Today it is around 1.4°C. The increase is grim but not the end of the story, especially if humans can stop climate pollution quickly enough to reverse (反转) the warming trend. Of course, even if we follow through on current commitments, there will be climate consequences regardless. One of the key bright spots since the Paris Agreement was signed is the rapid growth of renewable energy. A particular win has been that solar power facilities are coming online much faster than anyone expected in 2015. Better yet, energy from these facilities is being stored for nighttime use thanks to battery technology. 1. Which country will experience the most extremely hot days? A. Brazil. B. China. C. Mexico. D. Indonesia. 2. A 5-year-old will experience about ________ times as many heat waves as a 65-year-old. A. 3 B. 5 C. 7 D. 9 3. What can we learn about the Paris Agreement according to the text? A. It has reversed the warming trend. B. It has helped promote renewable energy. C. It managed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. D. It aimed to keep global temperature increases below 1.5°C. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了《巴黎协定》的气候目标与当前全球变暖的现状。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一张“各国变暖情景”统计图可知，在4摄氏度升温情景下，印度尼西亚的年炎热天数远高于巴西、中国、墨西哥，是四个选项中炎热天数最多的国家，因此印度尼西亚会经历最多极端炎热天数。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二张“不同年龄极端事件暴露度”统计图的热浪部分可知，相较于前工业时期，2025年65岁人群遭遇热浪的增长倍数约为5，5岁儿童遭遇热浪的增长倍数约为35，计算得35÷5=7，即5岁儿童经历的热浪次数约为65岁人群的7倍。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“One of the key bright spots since the Paris Agreement was signed is the rapid growth of renewable energy.(自从《巴黎协定》签署以来，最主要的亮点之一就是可再生能源的快速增长)”可知，《巴黎协定》帮助推动了可再生能源的发展。 B Leslie Shogren went to Semicolon Books in Chicago to celebrate her birthday. When she checked out, she asked the woman at the register if she was Danielle Moore, the bookstore’s owner. “Yeah, are you Leslie?” Moore replied, flashing her signature bright smile. She slipped Leslie a birthday card signed by each staff member, thanking her for celebrating her birthday at the store. Leslie was surprised. Sure, she had messaged the bookstore on its social media, asking its hours and casually mentioning she’d be visiting for her birthday. But still. “Moore didn’t need to do that,” she says. “When people go above and beyond with an act of hospitality (好客) like that, it really sticks with you.” She and her family are store regulars today. Inside the bookstore, shelves stretch from floor to ceiling, with front-facing books displayed like art. The walls are packed with prints, paintings and quotes. Comfortable couches invite visitors to read, and handmade pillows featuring literary icons add to the homey vibe (氛围). It’s important to Moore that customers consider the store a “third space” — not home or the workplace, but someplace that still fosters a sense of belonging and connection. Driven by her childhood experience of having no books to read, Moore also welcomes students into the store. They can pick out what they want for free. So far, through its #ClearTheShelves program, Semicolon has given 13,000 books to students in Chicago Public Schools. Moore and her staff have carefully selected books for 52 schools and donated books and funds to 27 Chicago organizations. “We like to take everything we make and give it back,” she says. Semicolon sits in West Town, a trendy area full of small shops, restaurants and museums. Andrea Beschel, of a nearby audio electronics repair shop says, “Moore was the first business owner who came in, interacted with us and invited us to events, so that was really cool.” “She brings great atmosphere to the block,” adds Cesar Buendia, the owner of a neighboring barbershop. “She came in and offered us books for our clients to read while they wait.” 4. What did Leslie do before visiting the bookstore? A. She purchased a birthday card for the owner. B. She booked a private reading room in advance. C. She called the owner to confirm her arrival time. D. She managed to get some information about it online. 5. What is central to Moore’s vision of a bookstore? A. A warm atmosphere. B. Innovative interior design. C. Competitively priced books. D. A distinctive book collection. 6. Which of the following best describes Moore? A. Smart and commercially talented. B. Thoughtful but slightly unrealistic. C. Generous and community-minded. D. Considerate but somewhat reserved. 7. Why are neighbors’ words mentioned? A. To illustrate the services of Semicolon. B. To highlight the popularity of West Town. C. To show the ways Semicolon builds community ties. D. To make a comparison between Semicolon and other shops. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述书店店主摩尔用心经营书店、暖心对待顾客，并热心公益回馈社区，收获大家好评的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sure, she had messaged the bookstore on its social media, asking its hours and casually mentioning she’d be visiting for her birthday.(当然，她曾在社交媒体上给这家书店发过消息，询问营业时间并随口提到自己要来这里过生日)”可知，莱斯利去书店前，曾在网上联系书店，获取了相关信息。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Comfortable couches invite visitors to read, and handmade pillows featuring literary icons add to the homey vibe. It’s important to Moore that customers consider the store a “third space” — not home or the workplace, but someplace that still fosters a sense of belonging and connection.(舒适的沙发吸引访客阅读，印有文学名人的手工抱枕增添温馨氛围。摩尔很重视让顾客把书店当作“第三空间”，不是家也不是职场，而是能带来归属感与联结感的地方)”可知，摩尔经营书店的核心理念是营造温暖舒心的氛围。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“So far, through its #ClearTheShelves program, Semicolon has given 13,000 books to students in Chicago Public Schools. Moore and her staff have carefully selected books for 52 schools and donated books and funds to 27 Chicago organizations.(迄今为止，通过清空书架项目，这家书店已向芝加哥公立学校学生捐赠一万三千本书。摩尔和员工为五十二所学校选书，还向二十七家当地机构捐书捐款)”以及暖心善待顾客的行为可知，摩尔为人慷慨大方，十分有社区公益意识。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Semicolon sits in West Town, a trendy area full of small shops, restaurants and museums. Andrea Beschel, of a nearby audio electronics repair shop says, “Moore was the first business owner who came in, interacted with us and invited us to events, so that was really cool.” “She brings great atmosphere to the block,” adds Cesar Buendia, the owner of a neighboring barbershop. “She came in and offered us books for our clients to read while they wait.”(分号书店坐落于西城街区，这里潮流气息浓厚，遍布小众商铺、餐厅与博物馆。 附近一家音频电子维修店的店主安德里亚·贝舍尔说：“穆尔是第一位主动上门、和我们交流往来，还邀请我们参加活动的商户老板，这点真的特别好。” 隔壁理发店老板塞萨尔·布恩迪亚补充道：“她给整条街区带来了很棒的氛围。她还主动送来书籍，方便顾客等候时翻阅。”)”可知，引用邻居的话，是为了体现这家书店主动拉近邻里关系、搭建社区联结的多种方式。 C You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport. But an interesting recent research has triggered the discussion. It is highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance (极限耐力) competitions is as low as 4 percent, while it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when it comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. When it comes to the marathon, we know that finishing times are greatly influenced by VO2max (最大摄氧量). However, these factors have been shown to be less influential in ultra-endurance performance. What this means is that success in ultra-marathons must be determined by the interplay of other physiological characteristics. If we look at the physiology, men tend to have more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events. Besides, as distances increase and intensity subsequently decreases, we rely more on fat to provide energy to our working muscles. Research currently suggests that compared to males, endurance-trained females use more fat even at rest and so they have spare essential carbohydrate stores. This would mean they’re less likely to hit “the wall” in a race. Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of which might lead to a better performance. As persuasive as these theories are, it’s hard to properly draw a firm conclusion that women excel in ultra-endurance sports. Ultra-endurance events appeal to a very small and specialized part of the population rather than the mainstream and the small numbers of women participating make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time. 8. What can we learn about the research from Paragraph 1? A. Men perform better than women in sports on the whole. B. Ultra-endurance sports are gaining popularity among women. C. Men are comparatively at a disadvantage in traditional endurance sport. D. The performance divide between men and women closes as distances grow. 9. Which of the following accounts for women’s better ultra-endurance performance? A. They have more type II muscle fibers. B. They are better at burning fat for energy. C. They are less dependent on carbohydrate. D. They care more about competition results. 10. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The intention of the research. B. The influence of the research. C. The limitation of the research. D. The conclusion of the research. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To make a comparison between males and females in sports. B. To clarify a fact that females are equally competent in sports. C. To explain why women make better ultra-endurance athletes. D. To advocate more women engaging in ultra-endurance sports. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文对比男女运动员耐力赛事表现，从生理构造、能量供给、心理素质分析女性极限耐力运动优势，同时点明相关研究存在不足。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when it comes to events like ultra-distance swimming.(而且，这种情况似乎随着赛事时间的延长而逐渐减少，以至于在超长距离游泳等项目中，女性甚至超过了男性)”可知，比赛距离增加，男女运动差距逐渐缩小。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Research currently suggests that compared to males, endurance-trained females use more fat even at rest and so they have spare essential carbohydrate stores.(目前的研究表明，与男性相比，耐力训练过的女性即使在静息状态下也消耗更多的脂肪，因此她们体内拥有额外的必需碳水化合物储备)”可知，女性更擅长分解脂肪供能，适配长距离耐力运动。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Ultra-endurance events appeal to a very small and specialized part of the population rather than the mainstream and the small numbers of women participating make it challenging to draw conclusions.(超长距离赛事吸引的是极少数特定人群，而非主流群体，而参与其中的女性人数较少，因此很难得出结论)”可知，本段点明该项研究存在局限性。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇提出研究发现，随后从多个角度分析女性更擅长极限耐力运动的原因，最后补充研究的局限性，因此本文的写作目的是解释为什么女性更适合成为极限耐力运动员。 D William Blake once said, “Make the errors of a wise man, not the perfection of a fool.” Last week, we received an email pointing out a few grammatical errors in our latest issue. It specifically targets a feature written by someone for whom English is a second, possibly even third, language. As a publisher, should we have caught those mistakes? Of course. But we didn’t. We missed them, and that’s on us. Now, if we had relied on ChatGPT or some other AI tool — those errors would have been eliminated. AI doesn’t make grammatical mistakes, but it does make factual ones. And that’s where the difference lies. AI writes with mechanical fluency, an odd smoothness that, at first glance, might seem impressive. But there’s no soul in it. No human aspect, which is often where the charm and character of a story lie. When you read Adventure, you’re not consuming an unimaginative, algorithmic mixture of facts and details, woven together from a thousand other sources. What you get is something raw, something real — real people doing real things, telling real stories — experiences lived and shared. That’s a distinction that matters. In an era where fake news, AI-generated images, and even virtual sports clouds the lines between truth and fake information, we choose reliability over perfection. We own our mistakes. They’re the marks on an organic apple — imperfect but honest. Sure, you could buy a flawless, genetically modified apple, polished and sprayed to maintain perfection. It might look good but how would it taste? Would it nourish you the same way? Would it carry the same depth of flavour that comes from sun, soil and time? Adventure isn’t about a perfect, polished version of the world. It’s about telling stories that aren’t smoothed to perfection but that pulse with life, with humanity. So yes, we made a mistake, and we’ll probably make more, but we’ll own them. Because we’re not in the business of chasing perfection. We’re in the business of telling real stories, about real adventures, experienced by real people. 12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 3? A. Ignored. B. Removed. C. Resisted. D. Predicted. 13. What can we infer about stories from Adventure? A. Soulless but honest. B. Imperfect but reliable. C. Imaginary but charming. D. Artificial but impressive. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward AI tools being used in publishing? A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned. 15. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Errors of a Wise Man B. An Apology to Readers C. Risks of AI in Publishing D. The Pursuit of Perfection 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章从《Adventure》刊物被读者指出存在语法错误的事切入，对比AI写作和人类写作的特点，阐明了出版方选择真实可靠而非虚假完美，坚持讲述人类真实故事的立场。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Last week, we received an email pointing out a few grammatical errors in our latest issue.(上周，我们收到一封电子邮件，指出我们最新一期的一些语法错误。)”可知，最新一期《Adventure》出现语法错误被读者指出；根据第三段中“if we had relied on ChatGPT or some other AI tool — those errors would have been eliminated.(如果我们当时使用ChatGPT 或其他人工智能工具——那些错误就会被eliminated)”以及“AI doesn’t make grammatical mistakes(人工智能不会犯语法错误)”可知，划线词所在句运用了虚拟语气，是对过去情况的假设，指出AI本身不犯语法错误，当时如果使用人工智能工具，就能去掉原本存在的语法错误，eliminated表示“去除、清除”，与Removed意思最接近。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“What you get is something raw, something real — real people doing real things, telling real stories — experiences lived and shared. That’s a distinction that matters.(你得到的是一些原始的、真实的东西——真实的人在做真实的事情，讲真实的故事——生活和分享的经历。这是一个重要的区别。)”以及第六段“Adventure isn’t about a perfect, polished version of the world. It’s about telling stories that aren’t smoothed to perfection but that pulse with life, with humanity.(《Adventure》不是关于一个完美、经过修饰的世界版本。它是关于讲述那些没有被打磨至完美、却充满生命力和人性脉动的故事。)”可知，杂志《Adventure》的故事虽然不完美，但真实可靠。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“AI doesn’t make grammatical mistakes, but it does make factual ones. And that’s where the difference lies. AI writes with mechanical fluency, an odd smoothness that, at first glance, might seem impressive. But there’s no soul in it. No human aspect, which is often where the charm and character of a story lie.(人工智能不会犯语法错误，但会犯事实错误。这就是区别所在。人工智能以机械流畅的方式写作，这种奇怪的流畅，乍一看可能令人印象深刻。可文字毫无灵魂，缺少人文气息，而这份人情味，恰恰是故事独特韵味与风骨的来源)”、第四段“What you get is something raw, something real — real people doing real things, telling real stories — experiences lived and shared.(你得到的是一些原始的、真实的东西——真实的人在做真实的事情，讲真实的故事——生活和分享的经历。)”以及第五段“we choose reliability over perfection(我们选择可靠性而非完美)”可知，作者推崇真人真实故事，认为AI缺乏人性和灵魂，且明确表示不追求AI那种“完美”，可见作者对在出版中使用AI工具持不赞成的态度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“William Blake once said, “Make the errors of a wise man, not the perfection of a fool.”(宁要智者的瑕疵，不要愚人的完美)”以及全文可知，作者开篇引用名言，随后围绕杂志坦然承认语法错误，引出AI虽能消除语法错误但缺乏灵魂的对比，进而阐述拒绝AI营造的虚假完美，坚持讲述真实、有瑕疵但可靠的故事的立场；A选项“Errors of a Wise Man(聪明人的错误)”呼应开篇名言，点明“宁愿有错误也不追求完美”的主旨，适合作为最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给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。 Most arguments are not actually about the thing people are arguing about, from unwashed dishes to workplace strategy disagreements. Underneath most conflicts is something much deeper: a need to feel heard, respected, safe, valued, or understood. Many high achievers struggle because they approach conversations the way they approach business: Solve the problem, make the point, and win the outcome. ___16___ Because the moment someone feels emotionally cornered, the nervous system stops listening and starts defending. In other words, once people feel attacked, they’re no longer trying to understand you or considering your point of view. ___17___ That’s why many ordinary arguments always turn into horrible quarrels. ___18___ When their confidence from certainty gets threatened, they start to feel unsafe. So their defense mechanism is to overexplain, defend harder, interrupt, and bring up past details. Ironically, the stronger the need to win the argument, the weaker the connection usually becomes. Negative behaviors like criticism and defensiveness are major causes of broken relationships, none of which include active listening. Human beings are emotional before they are logical. Rising emotions activate the brain’s threat-detecting area, cutting off blood flow to the part responsible for reasoning and empathy, and their nervous systems prioritize survival protection over mutual communication. ___19___ Healthy communication differs greatly from competitive arguing. It focuses on mutual understanding rather than one-sided victory. Giving emotional recognition to others does not mean you agree with their views. ___20___ A calm attitude and sincere listening build emotional safety, which is the foundation for long-term healthy relationships. Ultimately, people always remember the feelings a conversation brings rather than perfect logical arguments. A. Many people become addicted to certainty. B. Instead, they’re trying to protect themselves. C. It does create a bridge and promote effective communication. D. This is why even intelligent people may say things they regret. E. People often ignore the importance of self-regulation in conflicts. F. Tone and facial expressions also matter greatly in daily communication. G. That strategy works great for negotiations but terribly for human connection. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了大多数争执根源是渴望被理解尊重，情绪化使人失去理智，健康沟通重在共情倾听，而非争辩输赢。 【16题详解】 上文“Many high achievers struggle because they approach conversations the way they approach business: Solve the problem, make the point, and win the outcome. (许多高成就者之所以挣扎，因为他们用处理工作事务的方式与人交谈：解决问题、亮出观点、争取赢下争论。)”介绍了成功者的沟通策略。后文“Because the moment someone feels emotionally cornered, the nervous system stops listening and starts defending. (因为当有人感到情绪走投无路时，神经系统就会停止倾听并开始防御。)”用Because引出原因，阐述这种沟通模式会让对方产生情绪防备，带来负面效果。G选项“That strategy works great for negotiations but terribly for human connection. (这种策略在商务谈判中十分奏效，但是对于人际交往却收效极差。)”中That strategy指代前文以输赢为目标的沟通方式，既肯定该方法在商业场景的价值，又引出人际交往中的弊端，自然衔接下文的原因解释，起到承上启下的过渡作用。 【17题详解】 上文“In other words, once people feel attacked, they’re no longer trying to understand you or considering your point of view. (换句话说，一旦人们感受到攻击，就不会再试着理解你，也不会再顾及你的想法。)”写明人受到攻击后会放弃理性沟通。下文“That’s why many ordinary arguments always turn into horrible quarrels. (这就是日常口角常常升级为激烈争吵的缘由。)”点明最终结果。B选项“Instead, they’re trying to protect themselves. (相反，他们只会一心保护自己。)”形成语义转折，精准解释人们放弃理性思考后的本能行为，搭建起“放弃理解”与“争吵爆发”之间的逻辑链条。 【18题详解】 下文“When their confidence from certainty gets threatened, they start to feel unsafe. So their defense mechanism is to overexplain, defend harder, interrupt, and bring up past details. (当他们对自己观点的确信受到挑战时，内心就会失去安全感，进而开启防御模式：反复辩解、强行反驳、打断对方、翻旧账。)”分析人们执着于确定性所产生的一系列过激行为。A选项“Many people become addicted to certainty. (许多人执着于自己观点的绝对正确性。)”是本段的主题句，能够统领整段内容，与下文核心词汇certainty前后呼应。 【19题详解】 上文“Rising emotions activate the brain’s threat-detecting area, cutting off blood flow to the part responsible for reasoning and empathy, and their nervous systems prioritize survival protection over mutual communication. (情绪激动会激活大脑的危险预警区域，让负责理性思考与换位思考的大脑区域供血不足，人的神经系统会优先自保，不再进行双向沟通。)”从生理学角度解释情绪失控会让人丧失理智。D选项“This is why even intelligent people may say things they regret. (这就是即便是聪明人，也会说出让自己后悔的话的原因。)”中This指代前面大脑生理变化的原理，由生理原因推导出情绪失控导致言语失当这一结果，逻辑闭环完整。 【20题详解】 上文“Giving emotional recognition to others does not mean you agree with their views. (给予对方情感上的理解与认可，并不等同于你认同对方的观点。)”先理清一个认知误区。下文“A calm attitude and sincere listening build emotional safety, which is the foundation for long-term healthy relationships. (平和的态度与真诚倾听能够营造情绪安全感，这是长久健康人际关系的基石)”讲述良性沟通的价值。C选项“It does create a bridge and promote effective communication. (但这种情感认可能够搭建沟通桥梁，推动有效交流。)”，前后两句形成转折关系，先说明情感认可不等于妥协，再点明它在沟通中的积极作用，完美衔接上下文语义。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Wu Yize, a 22-year-old snooker player, returned to China after his world championship win.

I grabbed my backpack and headed to the library for my favorite after-school activity: Writing Club. “Today we will share our stories with a critique (评论) partner. It means to give helpful feedback so someone can tell their best story,” said Miss Lisa, our writing teacher. My partner was Penny. I handed my story to her, nervous. I had no problem coming up with great story ideas, but I did struggle with spelling and grammar. Penny didn’t look at me or smile as she pushed her story across the table toward me. Why was she worried? She always got perfect scores on her spelling and grammar tests. I read her story. It was about a dog named Sunny saving a family from a flood. “Wow, great story,” I told her. “I don’t have any suggestions. It’s perfect!” “Yours too,” she whispered. She didn’t even look at me as she passed mine back. When the club ended, Penny rushed out, dropping a book in haste. I picked it up: Sunny the Brave. My heart sank as the plot matched her story exactly. She hadn’t written it — she had copied it. It wasn’t fair. I thought about telling Miss Lisa, but Miss Lisa had already left. Outside of the school, I spotted Penny sitting on a bench, crying. Instead of accusing her, I simply handed her the book. Seeing her tears, I remembered my job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback. But what should I say? I kept thinking about Penny and her story. When I got home, I found Mom in the kitchen making dinner with Dad. Dad chopped (切割) vegetables carefully, while Mom added spices (调料) freely. Their dinners turned out delicious. Mom and Dad had different skills, each using their strengths, making them a great team. That gave me an idea to suggest to Penny. 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。 The next morning, I found Penny outside the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Penny’s eyes widened with hope. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, I found Penny outside the classroom. Her eyes were swollen, and she froze when I approached. “I... I need to explain,” she stammered, clutching her notebook. “I panicked about creating an original story. When I saw Sunny the Brave, I thought copying was the only way to impress everyone. I just couldn’t come up with ideas.” Her voice shook. I nodded, recalling Mom’s messy spice experiments and Dad’s careful measuring. “You don’t need to copy,” I said gently. “Look, I’m great at coming up with ideas, but you’re amazing at grammar and spelling. We have different strengths. What if we worked on a story together?”  Penny’s eyes widened with hope. She smiled and agreed eagerly. We spent lunchtime brainstorming. She organized sentences while I crafted the plot. By Friday, we presented our story to Miss Lisa. “Remarkable teamwork!” she exclaimed. “The creative ideas and polished writing balance each other perfectly.” Penny smiled at me, and I realized this was what critique truly meant — not just correcting mistakes, but mixing strengths to create magic. As we high-fived, I thought of Dad’s measuring spoons and Mom’s bold spices. Together, we’d made something far better than perfection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以校园写作俱乐部活动为线索展开，讲述了主人公在写作互评中发现搭档Penny抄袭他人故事，内心纠结后受到父母分工合作做饭的启发，最终选择用合作互助而非指责的方式，帮助Penny正视问题、发挥自身优势的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容 “第二天早上，我在教室外找到了Penny。” 可知，第一段可描写主人公主动向Penny提起抄袭一事，倾听她的苦衷，并提出两人发挥各自优势合作写作的想法。 ②由第二段首句内容 “Penny的眼睛里燃起了希望。” 可知，第二段可描写Penny欣然接受合作提议，两人分工完成原创故事，最终得到老师认可，作者也明白了写作互评的真正意义。 2. 续写线索 主动沟通——提出合作——携手创作——获得认可——明白真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 走近：approach/come near 紧握：clutch/grasp/hold 构思：brainstorm/create a plot/come up with ideas 情绪类 惊慌：panicked/be in a panic 渴望地：eagerly/hankeringly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes were swollen, and she froze when I approached.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] When I saw Sunny the Brave, I thought copying was the only way to impress everyone.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和省略that的宾语从句） [高分句型3] Penny smiled at me, and I realized this was what critique truly meant — not just correcting mistakes, but mixing strengths to create magic.（运用了省略that的宾语从句和what连接的表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度南京市七校联合体第二学期期末调研试卷 高二英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Under the accord, nations committed themselves to keeping global temperatures well below a two-degree-Celsius increase over preindustrial levels and to striving to limit that increase to 1.5°C. These goals were ambitious and required greenhouse gas emissions to begin declining by 2025. Yet emissions continue to rise. In 2015 the average global temperature was 1.1°C hotter than it was during the preindustrial period. Today it is around 1.4°C. The increase is grim but not the end of the story, especially if humans can stop climate pollution quickly enough to reverse (反转) the warming trend. Of course, even if we follow through on current commitments, there will be climate consequences regardless. One of the key bright spots since the Paris Agreement was signed is the rapid growth of renewable energy. A particular win has been that solar power facilities are coming online much faster than anyone expected in 2015. Better yet, energy from these facilities is being stored for nighttime use thanks to battery technology. 1. Which country will experience the most extremely hot days? A. Brazil. B. China. C. Mexico. D. Indonesia. 2. A 5-year-old will experience about ________ times as many heat waves as a 65-year-old. A. 3 B. 5 C. 7 D. 9 3. What can we learn about the Paris Agreement according to the text? A. It has reversed the warming trend. B. It has helped promote renewable energy. C. It managed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. D. It aimed to keep global temperature increases below 1.5°C. B Leslie Shogren went to Semicolon Books in Chicago to celebrate her birthday. When she checked out, she asked the woman at the register if she was Danielle Moore, the bookstore’s owner. “Yeah, are you Leslie?” Moore replied, flashing her signature bright smile. She slipped Leslie a birthday card signed by each staff member, thanking her for celebrating her birthday at the store. Leslie was surprised. Sure, she had messaged the bookstore on its social media, asking its hours and casually mentioning she’d be visiting for her birthday. But still. “Moore didn’t need to do that,” she says. “When people go above and beyond with an act of hospitality (好客) like that, it really sticks with you.” She and her family are store regulars today. Inside the bookstore, shelves stretch from floor to ceiling, with front-facing books displayed like art. The walls are packed with prints, paintings and quotes. Comfortable couches invite visitors to read, and handmade pillows featuring literary icons add to the homey vibe (氛围). It’s important to Moore that customers consider the store a “third space” — not home or the workplace, but someplace that still fosters a sense of belonging and connection. Driven by her childhood experience of having no books to read, Moore also welcomes students into the store. They can pick out what they want for free. So far, through its #ClearTheShelves program, Semicolon has given 13,000 books to students in Chicago Public Schools. Moore and her staff have carefully selected books for 52 schools and donated books and funds to 27 Chicago organizations. “We like to take everything we make and give it back,” she says. Semicolon sits in West Town, a trendy area full of small shops, restaurants and museums. Andrea Beschel, of a nearby audio electronics repair shop says, “Moore was the first business owner who came in, interacted with us and invited us to events, so that was really cool.” “She brings great atmosphere to the block,” adds Cesar Buendia, the owner of a neighboring barbershop. “She came in and offered us books for our clients to read while they wait.” 4. What did Leslie do before visiting the bookstore? A. She purchased a birthday card for the owner. B. She booked a private reading room in advance. C. She called the owner to confirm her arrival time. D. She managed to get some information about it online. 5. What is central to Moore’s vision of a bookstore? A. A warm atmosphere. B. Innovative interior design. C. Competitively priced books. D. A distinctive book collection. 6. Which of the following best describes Moore? A. Smart and commercially talented. B. Thoughtful but slightly unrealistic. C. Generous and community-minded. D. Considerate but somewhat reserved. 7. Why are neighbors’ words mentioned? A. To illustrate the services of Semicolon. B. To highlight the popularity of West Town. C. To show the ways Semicolon builds community ties. D. To make a comparison between Semicolon and other shops. C You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport. But an interesting recent research has triggered the discussion. It is highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance (极限耐力) competitions is as low as 4 percent, while it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when it comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. When it comes to the marathon, we know that finishing times are greatly influenced by VO2max (最大摄氧量). However, these factors have been shown to be less influential in ultra-endurance performance. What this means is that success in ultra-marathons must be determined by the interplay of other physiological characteristics. If we look at the physiology, men tend to have more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events. Besides, as distances increase and intensity subsequently decreases, we rely more on fat to provide energy to our working muscles. Research currently suggests that compared to males, endurance-trained females use more fat even at rest and so they have spare essential carbohydrate stores. This would mean they’re less likely to hit “the wall” in a race. Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of which might lead to a better performance. As persuasive as these theories are, it’s hard to properly draw a firm conclusion that women excel in ultra-endurance sports. Ultra-endurance events appeal to a very small and specialized part of the population rather than the mainstream and the small numbers of women participating make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time. 8. What can we learn about the research from Paragraph 1? A. Men perform better than women in sports on the whole. B. Ultra-endurance sports are gaining popularity among women. C. Men are comparatively at a disadvantage in traditional endurance sport. D. The performance divide between men and women closes as distances grow. 9. Which of the following accounts for women’s better ultra-endurance performance? A. They have more type II muscle fibers. B. They are better at burning fat for energy. C. They are less dependent on carbohydrate. D. They care more about competition results. 10. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The intention of the research. B. The influence of the research. C. The limitation of the research. D. The conclusion of the research. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To make a comparison between males and females in sports. B. To clarify a fact that females are equally competent in sports. C. To explain why women make better ultra-endurance athletes. D. To advocate more women engaging in ultra-endurance sports. D William Blake once said, “Make the errors of a wise man, not the perfection of a fool.” Last week, we received an email pointing out a few grammatical errors in our latest issue. It specifically targets a feature written by someone for whom English is a second, possibly even third, language. As a publisher, should we have caught those mistakes? Of course. But we didn’t. We missed them, and that’s on us. Now, if we had relied on ChatGPT or some other AI tool — those errors would have been eliminated. AI doesn’t make grammatical mistakes, but it does make factual ones. And that’s where the difference lies. AI writes with mechanical fluency, an odd smoothness that, at first glance, might seem impressive. But there’s no soul in it. No human aspect, which is often where the charm and character of a story lie. When you read Adventure, you’re not consuming an unimaginative, algorithmic mixture of facts and details, woven together from a thousand other sources. What you get is something raw, something real — real people doing real things, telling real stories — experiences lived and shared. That’s a distinction that matters. In an era where fake news, AI-generated images, and even virtual sports clouds the lines between truth and fake information, we choose reliability over perfection. We own our mistakes. They’re the marks on an organic apple — imperfect but honest. Sure, you could buy a flawless, genetically modified apple, polished and sprayed to maintain perfection. It might look good but how would it taste? Would it nourish you the same way? Would it carry the same depth of flavour that comes from sun, soil and time? Adventure isn’t about a perfect, polished version of the world. It’s about telling stories that aren’t smoothed to perfection but that pulse with life, with humanity. So yes, we made a mistake, and we’ll probably make more, but we’ll own them. Because we’re not in the business of chasing perfection. We’re in the business of telling real stories, about real adventures, experienced by real people. 12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 3? A. Ignored.

Underneath most conflicts is something much deeper: a need to feel heard, respected, safe, valued, or understood. Many high achievers struggle because they approach conversations the way they approach business: Solve the problem, make the point, and win the outcome. ___16___ Because the moment someone feels emotionally cornered, the nervous system stops listening and starts defending. In other words, once people feel attacked, they’re no longer trying to understand you or considering your point of view. ___17___ That’s why many ordinary arguments always turn into horrible quarrels. ___18___ When their confidence from certainty gets threatened, they start to feel unsafe. So their defense mechanism is to overexplain, defend harder, interrupt, and bring up past details. Ironically, the stronger the need to win the argument, the weaker the connection usually becomes. Negative behaviors like criticism and defensiveness are major causes of broken relationships, none of which include active listening. Human beings are emotional before they are logical. Rising emotions activate the brain’s threat-detecting area, cutting off blood flow to the part responsible for reasoning and empathy, and their nervous systems prioritize survival protection over mutual communication. ___19___ Healthy communication differs greatly from competitive arguing. It focuses on mutual understanding rather than one-sided victory. Giving emotional recognition to others does not mean you agree with their views. ___20___ A calm attitude and sincere listening build emotional safety, which is the foundation for long-term healthy relationships. Ultimately, people always remember the feelings a conversation brings rather than perfect logical arguments. A. Many people become addicted to certainty. B. Instead, they’re trying to protect themselves. C. It does create a bridge and promote effective communication. D. This is why even intelligent people may say things they regret. E. People often ignore the importance of self-regulation in conflicts. F. Tone and facial expressions also matter greatly in daily communication. G. That strategy works great for negotiations but terribly for human connection. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Wu Yize, a 22-year-old snooker player, returned to China after his world championship win.

I grabbed my backpack and headed to the library for my favorite after-school activity: Writing Club. “Today we will share our stories with a critique (评论) partner. It means to give helpful feedback so someone can tell their best story,” said Miss Lisa, our writing teacher. My partner was Penny. I handed my story to her, nervous. I had no problem coming up with great story ideas, but I did struggle with spelling and grammar. Penny didn’t look at me or smile as she pushed her story across the table toward me. Why was she worried? She always got perfect scores on her spelling and grammar tests. I read her story. It was about a dog named Sunny saving a family from a flood. “Wow, great story,” I told her. “I don’t have any suggestions. It’s perfect!” “Yours too,” she whispered. She didn’t even look at me as she passed mine back. When the club ended, Penny rushed out, dropping a book in haste. I picked it up: Sunny the Brave. My heart sank as the plot matched her story exactly. She hadn’t written it — she had copied it. It wasn’t fair. I thought about telling Miss Lisa, but Miss Lisa had already left. Outside of the school, I spotted Penny sitting on a bench, crying. Instead of accusing her, I simply handed her the book. Seeing her tears, I remembered my job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback. But what should I say? I kept thinking about Penny and her story. When I got home, I found Mom in the kitchen making dinner with Dad. Dad chopped (切割) vegetables carefully, while Mom added spices (调料) freely. Their dinners turned out delicious. Mom and Dad had different skills, each using their strengths, making them a great team. That gave me an idea to suggest to Penny. 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。 The next morning, I found Penny outside the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Penny’s eyes widened with hope. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
