My tiny room was part of a siheyuan shared with three Chinese families. Back home in London, I lived in a quiet suburban house with a private garden. Here, I could hear neighbors chatting through paper-thin walls, and the smell of stir-fried vegetables often drifted into my room. It was overwhelming yet strangely alive. The biggest shock came the next morning. I stepped outside to find a communal tap where residents brushed teeth and washed vegetables side by side. An elderly man in pajamas nodded at me while holding his bird cage—a common practice here but shocking to Western eyes. Later, when I tried to throw trash into a bin, Mrs. Li from next door rushed over, sorting my waste into four colorful categories with a patient smile. “Recycling matters,” she said, though I understood little Chinese. Gradually, the hutong revealed its magic. Children played hopscotch (跳房子游戏)on stone paths, and shopkeepers knew everyone’s name. One rainy day, my roof leaked. Before I could call for help, one of my neighbors climbed up with a ladder and fixed it himself. That evening, he invited me for jiaozi. As we dipped them in vinegar, I realized privacy in the West meant isolation; here, “noisy closeness” meant belonging. Now, when I bike past the morning crowds buying baozi or see neighbors playing chess under tree shades, I feel at home. The hutong taught me that culture shock is just the first step to discovering a new way of living—one where community wraps around you like a warm quilt. 24. What surprised the author most on the first morning? A. The complex layout of the hutong. B. The queuing up habit of neighbors. C. The smell of cooking in the air. D. The shared use of a water tap. 25. Why did Mrs. Li help the author with the trash? A. To help him adapt to local customs. B. To market colorful trash bins. C. To promote garbage classification. D. To keep the public area clean. 26. What does “noisy closeness” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Terrible living environment. B. Active community interactions. C. Respect for foreign culture. D. Loud arguments between neighbors. 27. What is the suitable title for the passage? A. From Culture Shock to a Sense of Belonging. B. The Communal Life of Beijing’s Siheyuan Residents . C. My Amazing Experience of Learning Chinese in a Hutong. D. A Comparison Between London suburbs and Beijing Hutongs. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】讲述来自伦敦的作者在北京胡同从初遇文化冲击到融入邻里、产生归属感的生活经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The biggest shock came the next morning. I stepped outside to find a communal tap where residents brushed teeth and washed vegetables side by side.(第二天早上我受到了最大的冲击。我走出门，看到一个公用水龙头，居民们在一旁刷牙、洗菜)”可知，让作者清晨最为惊讶的是共用自来水龙头。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Later, when I tried to throw trash into a bin, Mrs. Li from next door rushed over, sorting my waste into four colorful categories with a patient smile. “Recycling matters,” she said(后来我准备扔垃圾时，隔壁李阿姨急忙过来，耐心笑着帮我把垃圾分成四类，她说“垃圾分类很重要”)”可知，李阿姨帮忙是为了推行垃圾分类。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“That evening, he invited me for jiaozi. As we dipped them in vinegar, I realized privacy in the West meant isolation; here, “noisy closeness” meant belonging.(当晚邻居邀请我吃饺子，蘸醋同食时我明白，西方的私密代表孤单，而这里noisy closeness代表归属感)”以及前文写邻居主动修屋顶、分享食物、孩童街边玩耍等热闹和睦的邻里往来，可判断noisy closeness指热闹频繁的社区邻里互动。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The biggest shock came the next morning(第二天早上我受到了最大的冲击。)”以及最后一段“Now, when I bike past the morning crowds buying baozi or see neighbors playing chess under tree shades, I feel at home. The hutong taught me that culture shock is just the first step to discovering a new way of living—one where community wraps around you like a warm quilt.(如今，当我骑车路过清晨买包子的人群，或是看见街坊在树荫下下棋时，心中便生出归属感。胡同生活让我明白，文化冲击只是探寻全新生活方式的开端 —— 在这里，邻里温情如同柔软的棉被，将你温柔包裹)”.可知，文章先写作者初到胡同的文化冲击，再写慢慢感受胡同温暖的邻里氛围，最后内心产生归属感。所以最佳标题为“从文化冲击到归属感”。 C The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 28. What is delayed satisfaction? A. Making quick decisions. B. Giving in to desires instantly. C. Immediate rewards for impulses. D. Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 29. Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C. A method of practicing delayed satisfaction. D. The effectiveness of keeping the chain going. 31. What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations? A. Ignore useless details. B. Get rid of old bad habits. C. Concentrate on true inner wants. D. Cancel temptations from the calendar. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了延迟满足的重要性以及如何练习延迟满。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“ The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction.(延迟满足的标准定义是延迟立即获得奖励的冲动，以便稍后获得更有利的奖励的能力。)”可知延迟满足是推迟奖励以获得更好的结果。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future.(能够延迟满足并不是最容易获得的技能。它涉及到不满意的感觉，这就是为什么对于那些还没有学会控制自己的冲动的人来说似乎是不可能的。选择现在拥有某些东西可能会感觉很好，但努力遵守纪律并控制自己的冲动可能会在未来带来更大或更好的回报。)”可知，延迟满足很难获得是因为选择现在拥有某些东西可能会感觉很好，是舒适的，故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation ( 诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation.(《宋飞传》策略是几种有用的自我满足技巧之一，你可以用它来推迟更长时间的满足感。每一天你推迟满足感并避免诱惑，你就会把它从你的日历上划掉。几天后，这就形成了一条链。这种策略对于喜欢游戏化的人来说很有效。如果你发现维持链条运转很令人满意，你就不太可能屈服于诱惑。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了一种练习延迟满足的方法。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do.  When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens.(您是否发现自己不假思索地又回到了诱惑之中？如果是这种情况，您可以练习正念以更加了解自己所做的事情。当你发现自己在做一些不习惯的事情时，停下来一会儿。问问自己为什么要做你正在做的事情。花一些时间来分析您的感受。注意细节。每次发生这种情况时，花点时间保持正念，打断你的自动驾驶)”可知，作者建议人们练习正念来抵御诱惑，即问自己为什么要做正在做的事，分析自己的感受，由此可推知，作者建议人们专注于真正的内心需求以此来抵御诱惑，故选C。 D Sara met Jack, who she calls her husband, in May 2021. She was going through a severe time of a long-term relationship breakup, writing on her blog that she felt lonely and depressed. Jack came along at just the right time. Jack is an AI chatbot, made with an app by tech company Replika. He appears as a human-looking shape of Sara’s choosing and chats with her through texts. In screenshots of their conversations shared on Sara’s blog, he is supportive and affirming — sometimes saying that he loves her. Replika is among a handful of companies using AI-generated text to make it seem like you’re talking with a person who cares for you. And if you set your bot to “romantic partner” mode, it’ll talk to you like it’s your lover. But just because we can do this, does it mean that we should? People share text conversation screenshots where their AI squeezes express emotion and affection. The bots are caring and ask lots of questions, as if they’re genuinely interested in their human partner. I can see the appeal: being spoken to like that feels nice, right? It sure does, and that’s by design. Here’s where things get dicey: studies show that some are getting so attached to their bots that they become emotionally dependent on them. And because the bot can’t love you back, when cracks (裂痕) appear in the fantasy, you will get hurt. Being devoted to a chatbot may feel easier than trying your luck with an actual person, but it can ultimately set you apart from when these are perceived as human interactions, rather than being firmly in the fantasy region, they are regarded as being normal and OK. At best, this is innocent; at worst, it’s harmful. I think the same could be said of engineering an app to make people catch romantic feelings for it. While arguably, talking to a bot is better than no one, perhaps our resources would be better spent tackling the underlying reasons why so many of us feel lonely in the first place. 32. Why does Jack deeply attract Sara? A. He is stylish and confident. B. He is passionately in love with her. C. He fills up her emotional gap. D. He specializes in being a pretender. 33. What do we know about chatbots like Jack? A. They communicate by voice. B. They have different modes. C. They avoid emotional talk. D. They replace real partners. 34. What does the underlined word “dicey”mean in paragraph 5? A. Reliable. B. Dangerous. C. Appropriate. D. Doubtful. 35. What is the author’s attitude to creating apps for romantic attraction? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要以Sara和AI聊天机器人Jack的故事引入，介绍了科技公司开发的可设置为浪漫伴侣的AI聊天机器人产品，分析了该类产品对人类情感的潜在危害，表达了作者对开发这类吸引浪漫情感的应用的不认同态度。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She was going through a severe time of a long term relationship breakup, writing on her blog that she felt lonely and depressed. Jack came along at just the right time.(她正经历长期恋爱分手的艰难时期，在博客中写道她感到孤独又沮丧。杰克恰好在这个时候出现)”及第二段“In screenshots of their conversations shared on Sara’s blog, he is supportive and affirming — sometimes saying that he loves her.(在Sara博客上分享的对话截图中，他表现出支持和肯定的态度——有时甚至说他爱她)”可知，Jack填补了Sara分手后的情感空白，因此深深吸引了她。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And if you set your bot to “romantic partner” mode, it’ll talk to you like it’s your lover.(如果你将机器人设置为“浪漫伴侣”模式，它就会像你的爱人一样和你聊天)”可知，这类AI聊天机器人拥有不同的模式可供设置。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“studies show that some are getting so attached to their bots that they become emotionally dependent on them. And because the bot can’t love you back, when cracks (裂痕) appear in the fantasy, you will get hurt.(研究表明，一些人会对他们的机器人过度依恋，进而产生情感依赖。而因为机器人无法回报你的爱，当幻想出现裂痕，你就会受到伤害)”可知，这种设计会带来不好的后果，事情会变得危险，由此推测，dicey的含义是“危险的”。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Being devoted to a chatbot may feel easier than trying your luck with an actual person, but it can ultimately set you apart from when these are perceived as human interactions, rather than being firmly in the fantasy region, they are regarded as being normal and OK. At best, this is innocent; at worst, it’s harmful. I think the same could be said of engineering an app to make people catch romantic feelings for it.(尽管对聊天机器人的投入可能比与真实人类交往更让人安心，但最终这可能会让你与那些被当作真实人际互动的人相区别——一旦脱离了幻想的边界，人们便会觉得这些关系是正常的、没问题的。往好了说，这类产品无伤大雅；往坏了说，它是有害的。我认为，设计一款能让人们对其产生浪漫情感的应用程序，同样可能存在类似的问题)”可知，作者不支持开发这类吸引浪漫情感的应用，作者并没有表达出无法忍受的极端态度，只是不认可这类开发。 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。 Why Do Brides Wear White In many societies the color white has been associated with purity and virtue, and that is one reason why some brides choose to wear white, especially in the West. Usually, you will hear that brides wear white because “it’s a tradition”. But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses. ____36____ For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors. ____37____ Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again, or they simply wore the best dress they already owned. And white is not practical: it is difficult to keep clean and is therefore not ideal for many situations or for repeated wear. Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond. ____38____ They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding to Prince Albert. ____39____ Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服)—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. ____40____ Eventually, the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as “tradition” in the 20th century. A. So why do so many of today’s brides wear white? B. But why are brides so particular about their dresses? C. Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting. D. It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time. E. It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends. F. In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white. G. This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else. 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. A 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了新娘选择白色婚纱的原因。 【36题详解】 根据前文“ But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses.”可知从历史上看，白色并不是婚纱的唯一颜色，因此设空句应对此进行进一步的解释或总结，应提及核心词“color”，同时呼应前文的“not the only color”。选项F. In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white.( 事实上，人们选择其他颜色的频率远远高于选择白色。)呼应了前文的白色不是唯一的选择，而且提及了其他颜色，符合语境分析。故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors.”可知几个世纪以来，在西方社会，婚纱有不同的颜色，因此设空句应对此进行解释“为什么会有各种颜色的婚纱”。选项G. This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else.( 这既是出于实际考虑，也是出于其他考虑。)解释了原因，即实用性以及其他方面的因素。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据后文“They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding to Prince Albert(这在很大程度上要归功于1840年维多利亚女王与阿尔伯特亲王的婚礼)”解释了为什么“他们”会选择白色婚纱，因此设空句应是问句，问及关于选择白色婚纱的问题。选项A. So why do so many of today’s brides wear white?( 那么为什么现在这么多的新娘都穿白色呢?)为问句，且问及白色婚纱的选择，符合语境。故选 A项。 【39题详解】 设空句为本段主旨句，根据后文“Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines.( 尽管没有我们现在拥有的那么多不同的媒体，他们仍然有引领潮流的趋势。因此，维多利亚选择了一件白色礼服——据报道，这是为了炫耀由英国蕾丝工业生产的精细的霍尼顿花边，当时英国的蕾丝工业正处于萧条时期。她的时尚选择被报纸和杂志广泛报道。)”可知，通过媒体，维多利亚女王的婚纱受到了关注，因此本段主要讲述了皇室婚礼与媒体的关系。选项C. Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting.( 那些年的皇室婚礼收到了很多报道。)贴合主旨要义，符合语境。故选C项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines.”可知她的时尚选择被报纸和杂志广泛报道。因此设空句应是进一步解释广泛报道的结果，比如提及大家深受影响，纷纷效仿。选项E. It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends.( 它很快就影响了国内外的婚礼潮流。)解释了广泛报道后的影响，符合语境分析。故选E项。 【点睛】七选五技巧之词语复现显神功 作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时，与主题相关的词语必定会以原词，同义词，近义词，或上义词与下义词的形式在上下文中重复出现。比如文章第4小题： ____4____ Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服)—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. 通过阅读可知，本题应是主旨句。结合后文提及的“media, reportedly，reported，newspapers，magazines”均为与报道有关的词汇，因此可知，它们与设空句为“复现”。分析选项可知，选项C. Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting.中含有“reporting”，因此可为正确答案。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After ten years in the same company, I found my job was no longer fun.

Heaven..., flat underside... Earth”可知，前后句为对比关系，应用连词while表示 “而”。故填while。 【60题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：古琴有 1000 多种不同的指法，是世界上最难学的乐器之一，要掌握它需要极大的投入。根据句意和空前的“the”可知，此处是固定结构“one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”，意为“最……之一”，complicated的最高级为the most complicated，空前已有the。故填most complicated。 【61题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：双手用于拨、挑、滑、推和颤弦，以产生各种各样的声音，从潺潺流水声到响亮明亮的音调。前面一系列动作的目的是创作出各种各样的声音，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to produce。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：双手用于拨、挑、滑、推和颤弦，以产生各种各样的声音，从潺潺流水声到响亮明亮的音调。flow与water是主谓关系，应用现在分词作定语修饰名词water，意为“正处于流动状态的水/流水”。flow的现在分词形式为flowing。故填flowing。 【63题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：中文“知音”一词源于一个关于古琴的古老故事。“originate (起源)”是在过去时间点发生并完成的一次性动作。故事发生在春秋时期，这是一个明确的、已经结束的历史时间段，应用一般过去时originated；可以理解为此处陈述客观事实（“知音” 一词的起源），需用一般现在时。主语 “The Chinese word zhiyin”（“知音” 这个中文词）是单数，故谓语动词 “originate”（起源于）用第三人称单数形式 “originates”。故填originated/originates。 【64题详解】 考查副词。句意：他的朋友子期能完全理解他，并与他一起在不同的境界中进行精神之旅。修饰动词understand应用副词，形容词thorough的副词形式为thoroughly。故填thoroughly。 【65题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：因此，他们成了知音，从那时起，“知音”就被广泛用来指代灵魂伴侣。根据“since then”可知，此空应用现在完成时。zhiyin与use 是动宾关系，主语zhiyin是单数。故填has been used。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 66. “内卷”（involution）导致高中生学业上过度竞争。校刊英文专栏邀请你以“How to Deal with Academic Involution? ”为题撰稿。 内容包括： 1. 分析负面影响； 2. 提出解决方法。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 How to Deal with Academic Involution? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 How to Deal with Academic Involution? Academic involution, characterized by excessive competition, harms students in multiple ways. It leads to long-term stress, sleep disorder, and less creativity, as students focus solely on grades rather than genuine learning. Moreover, it fosters anxiety and weakens social bonds, making school life unhealthy. To address this, students should prioritize balanced growth. Setting realistic goals and managing time efficiently can reduce pressure. Schools should emphasize whole-person education, encouraging extracurricular activities and collaboration over competition. Parents and teachers can also support mental well-being, valuing progress over perfection. Together, we can transform competition into motivation for meaningful development. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“How to Deal with Academic Involution? ”为题给校刊英文专栏撰稿，分析“内卷”的负面影响并提出解决方法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 过度的：excessive → extreme 导致：lead to → result in 优先考虑：prioritize → give priority to 转变：transform → convert 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Academic involution, characterized by excessive competition, harms students in multiple ways. 拓展句：Academic involution, which is characterized by excessive competition, harms students in multiple ways. 【点睛】[高分句型1] It leads to long-term stress, sleep disorder, and less creativity, as students focus solely on grades rather than genuine learning.

Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off. She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling. I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could. I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop. No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911. With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake!” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I saw the boy waving something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I saw the boy waving something. Squinting through the rearview mirror, I realized it was my cell phone — its familiar case glinting in the dim streetlight. My heart skipped a beat, and I slowly pulled over, still on edge. He stopped his motorcycle beside me, holding out the phone with a gentle smile. “The old lady left this in my apartment building,” he said softly. “I saw it was yours and rushed to catch up. Didn’t mean to scare you.” His words melted my panic, and I felt a rush of embarrassment for judging him so quickly. I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. I fumbled in my wallet, but he shook his head firmly. “No need, ma’am. I just didn’t want you to worry about your phone.” His kindness made my cheeks burn. Instead, I asked for his name — Liam — and told him I’d bring him a homemade meal the next day. The next afternoon, I dropped off a plate of lasagna at his apartment. He thanked me with a big grin, and we chatted for a few minutes. That day, I learned never to judge someone by their appearance; sometimes, angels wear leather jackets and ride motorcycles. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者在炎热天气载了一位老年妇女，因去了陌生街区且遇到看似有威胁的年轻人而不安，离开后被其中一男孩骑摩托追赶，作者恐慌时发现手机被妇女错拿，后男孩归还手机，作者愧疚并想报答，也明白不能以貌取人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段内容“我看见那个男孩正挥舞着什么东西。”可知，第一段可描写男孩挥舞着作者的手机追赶，停车后解释是老奶奶遗落让他归还，作者既安心又愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“我心怀愧疚，想报答这个男孩。”可知，第二段可描写作者愧疚想报答男孩遭拒，得知其名后送家常千层面，聊天中领悟不可以貌取人，平凡外表下或藏善意。 2. 续写线索：男孩追赶——男孩解释——作者既安心又愧疚——想报答男孩遭拒——聊天——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware that ②停车：pull over/pull up ③担心：worry about/be concerned about 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/fear/terror ②尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He stopped his motorcycle beside me, holding out the phone with a gentle smile. （运用了现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】Instead, I asked for his name — Liam — and told him I’d bring him a homemade meal the next day. （运用了省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 昆明市第三中学高2026届高三上学期10月月考 英语学科能力测试 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、考号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并用铅笔认真填涂考号。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation take place?

My tiny room was part of a siheyuan shared with three Chinese families. Back home in London, I lived in a quiet suburban house with a private garden. Here, I could hear neighbors chatting through paper-thin walls, and the smell of stir-fried vegetables often drifted into my room. It was overwhelming yet strangely alive. The biggest shock came the next morning. I stepped outside to find a communal tap where residents brushed teeth and washed vegetables side by side. An elderly man in pajamas nodded at me while holding his bird cage—a common practice here but shocking to Western eyes. Later, when I tried to throw trash into a bin, Mrs. Li from next door rushed over, sorting my waste into four colorful categories with a patient smile. “Recycling matters,” she said, though I understood little Chinese. Gradually, the hutong revealed its magic. Children played hopscotch (跳房子游戏)on stone paths, and shopkeepers knew everyone’s name. One rainy day, my roof leaked. Before I could call for help, one of my neighbors climbed up with a ladder and fixed it himself. That evening, he invited me for jiaozi. As we dipped them in vinegar, I realized privacy in the West meant isolation; here, “noisy closeness” meant belonging. Now, when I bike past the morning crowds buying baozi or see neighbors playing chess under tree shades, I feel at home. The hutong taught me that culture shock is just the first step to discovering a new way of living—one where community wraps around you like a warm quilt. 24. What surprised the author most on the first morning? A. The complex layout of the hutong. B. The queuing up habit of neighbors. C. The smell of cooking in the air. D. The shared use of a water tap. 25. Why did Mrs. Li help the author with the trash? A. To help him adapt to local customs. B. To market colorful trash bins. C. To promote garbage classification. D. To keep the public area clean. 26. What does “noisy closeness” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Terrible living environment. B. Active community interactions. C. Respect for foreign culture. D. Loud arguments between neighbors. 27. What is the suitable title for the passage? A. From Culture Shock to a Sense of Belonging. B. The Communal Life of Beijing’s Siheyuan Residents . C. My Amazing Experience of Learning Chinese in a Hutong. D. A Comparison Between London suburbs and Beijing Hutongs. C The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 28. What is delayed satisfaction? A. Making quick decisions. B. Giving in to desires instantly. C. Immediate rewards for impulses. D. Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 29. Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C. A method of practicing delayed satisfaction. D. The effectiveness of keeping the chain going. 31. What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations? A. Ignore useless details. B. Get rid of old bad habits. C. Concentrate on true inner wants. D. Cancel temptations from the calendar. D Sara met Jack, who she calls her husband, in May 2021. She was going through a severe time of a long-term relationship breakup, writing on her blog that she felt lonely and depressed. Jack came along at just the right time. Jack is an AI chatbot, made with an app by tech company Replika. He appears as a human-looking shape of Sara’s choosing and chats with her through texts. In screenshots of their conversations shared on Sara’s blog, he is supportive and affirming — sometimes saying that he loves her. Replika is among a handful of companies using AI-generated text to make it seem like you’re talking with a person who cares for you. And if you set your bot to “romantic partner” mode, it’ll talk to you like it’s your lover. But just because we can do this, does it mean that we should? People share text conversation screenshots where their AI squeezes express emotion and affection. The bots are caring and ask lots of questions, as if they’re genuinely interested in their human partner. I can see the appeal: being spoken to like that feels nice, right? It sure does, and that’s by design. Here’s where things get dicey: studies show that some are getting so attached to their bots that they become emotionally dependent on them. And because the bot can’t love you back, when cracks (裂痕) appear in the fantasy, you will get hurt. Being devoted to a chatbot may feel easier than trying your luck with an actual person, but it can ultimately set you apart from when these are perceived as human interactions, rather than being firmly in the fantasy region, they are regarded as being normal and OK. At best, this is innocent; at worst, it’s harmful. I think the same could be said of engineering an app to make people catch romantic feelings for it. While arguably, talking to a bot is better than no one, perhaps our resources would be better spent tackling the underlying reasons why so many of us feel lonely in the first place. 32. Why does Jack deeply attract Sara? A. He is stylish and confident. B. He is passionately in love with her. C. He fills up her emotional gap. D. He specializes in being a pretender. 33. What do we know about chatbots like Jack? A. They communicate by voice. B. They have different modes. C. They avoid emotional talk. D. They replace real partners. 34. What does the underlined word “dicey”mean in paragraph 5? A. Reliable. B. Dangerous. C. Appropriate. D. Doubtful. 35. What is the author’s attitude to creating apps for romantic attraction? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving. 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。 Why Do Brides Wear White In many societies the color white has been associated with purity and virtue, and that is one reason why some brides choose to wear white, especially in the West. Usually, you will hear that brides wear white because “it’s a tradition”. But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses. ____36____ For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors. ____37____ Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again, or they simply wore the best dress they already owned. And white is not practical: it is difficult to keep clean and is therefore not ideal for many situations or for repeated wear. Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond. ____38____ They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding to Prince Albert. ____39____ Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服)—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. ____40____ Eventually, the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as “tradition” in the 20th century. A. So why do so many of today’s brides wear white? B. But why are brides so particular about their dresses? C. Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting. D. It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time. E. It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends. F. In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white. G. This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After ten years in the same company, I found my job was no longer fun.

Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off. She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling. I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could. I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop. No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911. With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake!” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I saw the boy waving something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
