The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: ● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. ● A total of up to six points can be earned each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 1. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. MTR Station. D. LWS Building. 2. What are participants required to do to score? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Choose a pre-set route. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Complete a round trip. 3. How many points do you get daily by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍学校推出“Walk for Green”校园步行环保活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building.(从地铁站出发，“绿色行走”活动为同学们推荐了校园内的多条步行路线，其中有一条路线会经过YIA大楼、LSK大楼和LWS大楼)”可知，“绿色行走”活动从地铁站开始。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Important Notes部分“● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points.(● 步行者必须在一小时内完成一次行程（可以是向上走或者向下走），才能获得积分)”可知，参与者要选择预先设定好的路线。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Walking Journey Points图表内容可，“YIA Building ↔ LSK Building”对应2分，“LSK Building ↔ LWS Building”对应1分，从YIA Building步行至LWS Building需经过LSK Building，总积分为 2+1=3 分。 B Speeding up and flying over a car while switching hands with a between-the-legs movement to throw the ball home, Chen Dengxing, aged 39 and standing 1.76 meters tall, made history by becoming the first athlete from China to win the dunk (扣篮) contest of the world’s biggest streetball competition in 2025. Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice. The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China’s dunk team told him, “With your bounce and explosiveness, you don’t belong behind a bank counter.” Cha’s encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker. To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. Erom the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced. Now Chen has founded a dunk park which has quickly attracted many visitors who are eager to learn from him or simply witness his high-flying skills firsthand. “I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage,” Chen said. 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Chen’s great achievement. B. The rules of the dunk contest. C. Chen’s physical appearance. D. The history of the dunk contest. 5. What does Chen’s career shift show? A. Risk-taking guarantees success. B. Opportunities favor prepared mind. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Natural talent outweighs hard work. 6. Which of the following best describes Chen in his professional training? A. Generous and sincere. B. Focused and devoted. C. Determined and brave. D. Patient and ambitious. 7. Why did Chen set up a dunk park? A. To select coaches. B. To attract visitors. C. To support dunkers. D. To meet followers. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述39岁的陈登星成为中国首位获世界最大街球赛事扣篮大赛冠军的运动员，及他的成长与传承故事。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Speeding up and flying over a car while switching hands with a between-the-legs movement to throw the ball home, Chen Dengxing, aged 39 and standing 1.76 meters, made history by becoming the first athlete from China to win the dunk (扣篮) contest of the world’s biggest streetball competition in 2025.(39岁、身高1.76米的陈登星加速飞越一辆汽车，同时双手在腿间切换将球扣进篮筐，他创造了历史，成为2025年世界最大街球赛事扣篮大赛中首位夺冠的中国运动员。)”可知，该段核心是介绍陈登星取得的重大成就。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“ Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice.(陈登星从小就展现出运动天赋，上学期间曾练习跳高和跳远。大学毕业后，他开始担任银行职员。但他对扣篮的热情从未消退，因此在业余时间，他会去附近的球场练习扣篮。)”以及第三段中Cha Tianyi的鼓励让他走上职业扣篮道路可知，陈登星始终保持对扣篮的热爱与练习，做好了准备，才抓住了机会实现职业转型，体现“机会垂青有准备的人”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“ To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. Erom the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced.(为了提升扣篮技巧，陈登星收集了世界各地顶级扣篮选手的精彩集锦视频，并仔细研究。从助跑的节奏到起跳的力量，他精准分析每一个细节，不放过任何一个动作。他每天花约四小时训练 —— 两小时力量训练，两小时扣篮练习。即便外出参加其他活动，他也会随身携带篮球，随时练习)”可知，他训练时专注细节、投入大量时间，“专注且投入”最能描述他。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage(我会传授自己的训练方法和比赛经验，让年轻运动员进步更快。我的目标是培养更多有潜力的扣篮选手，帮助他们登上国际舞台。)”可知，陈登星创办扣篮公园是为了支持扣篮选手。故选C项。 C Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap, instead it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black. Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising. Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group, because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”, asked if Elon Musk’s tweets of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias. Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather (经受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School. But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering? Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda? All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too? 8. What do the words “this trap” underlined in the first paragraph refer to? A. Having a racial bias. B. Responding to wrong texts. C. Criticizing political figures. D. Going against historical facts. 9. What did Gemini refuse to do? A. Argue for higher education. B. Write a fossil-fuel lobby ad. C. Call Hamas a terrorist group. D. Judge Elon Musk’s memes. 10. What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch? A. Creative. B. Promising. C. Illegal. D. Debatable. 11. What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph? A. Its security is doubted. B. It lacks financial support. C. It needs further improvement. D. Its employees are irresponsible. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍谷歌人工智能模型Gemini存在明显的立场偏见，其图像生成和文本回答多次出现争议内容，分析问题源于测试不足与人为刻意微调，并引发大众对谷歌企业文化与发展问题的思考。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors.(其他图像生成工具饱受批评，因为在被要求生成企业家、医生的图像时，它们往往只展示白人男性形象。)”可知，传统AI绘图工具存在种族偏见的问题，谷歌希望Gemini规避这一问题，因此this trap指代“存在种族偏见”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group.(它拒绝为化石燃料游说团体撰写招聘广告。)”可知，Gemini拒绝撰写化石燃料游说团体的广告。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather the potential risks and bad publicity.(发布聊天机器人，让用户发现并快速修复异常问题，能加快企业发展速度，但企业需要承担潜在风险和负面舆论。)”可知，这位教授认为提前上线产品有利有弊，此举具有争议性。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?(他表示正在修复Gemini，但谷歌本身是否也需要整改？)”可推知，谷歌不仅产品存在问题，企业自身也存在不足，需要进一步改进。 D Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty. Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon.” His point is unsettling. The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices. The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.” Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward. Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system(seek rewards), the Protect system(avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system(engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition(直觉)not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.” 12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon feeding? A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts. C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity. 13. Which might be a “moment of unease”? A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds. B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill. C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition. D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field. 14. What can make leaders fail according to the author? A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience. C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The trap of right answers B. The power of human intuition C. The limits of simple solutions D. The wisdom of open doubt 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“执着追求标准答案、过度信奉确定性的弊端”展开，论述了标准答案思维带来的种种局限与失误。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon.(笃定在某种程度上蒙蔽我们，填鸭式的求知方式只会让人学到表面形式，无法真正思考。)”以及后文“The very habits we rely on to feel smart—rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions—are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.(我们依赖的那些习惯——比如急于达成最终目标、简化复杂问题、用糖衣包裹最初的反应——正是阻碍我们做出明智选择的原因。)”可知，过度追求确定、标准答案，会限制思考、破坏决策能力。即确定性可能会破坏决策。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty.(它们就是帕尔马所说的“不安时刻”：涉及多重标准的选择，包含相互冲突的目标、高风险和深刻的不确定性。)”可知，该短语“moments of unease”指代两难、冲突、无法简单抉择的处境。B选项“父母生病时仍想出国求职”存在目标冲突与两难抉择，符合定义。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.(我亲眼目睹过，经验丰富的领导者会忽视警示信号，因为他们沉迷于“感觉正确”的状态。他们本该停下来思考或深入探究，却把情况简化了，因而错失了怀疑所指向的机遇。)”可知，领导者失败的原因是忽视疑虑、不愿审视不确定因素。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文核心围绕“执着追求标准答案、过度信奉确定性的弊端”展开，论述了标准答案思维带来的种种局限与失误，A选项“标准答案的陷阱”符合主题，适合用作标题。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Art of Protecting Your Peace Learning to protect your peace is essential for maintaining emotional well-being. When we don’t prioritize peace, we waste energy trying to change things we can’t control. Instead, practicing gentler responses — what some call “underreacting” — helps us navigate challenges more calmly. ____16____ It’s about choosing how to respond in a way that preserves your well-being. Practice mindfulness regularly. Mindfulness and meditation are effective tools for cultivating peace. Meditation teaches you to let go of annoying thoughts instead of fighting them. Similarly, mindfulness practices like deep breathing or taking a sensory walk allow you to focus on the present moment. ____17____ ____18____ When faced with something upsetting, ask yourself, “Do I really care about this?” If the answer is no, let it go. If you’re unsure, dig deeper with questions like, “Why should I care?” or “Do I have the energy to deal with this?” Shifting your attention away from unimportant issues prevents unnecessary stress. Be mindful of your triggers. Overreacting often stems from external factors like hunger, stress, or fatigue. Understanding these triggers allows you to avoid difficult situations when you’re not at your best. ____19____ Similarly, show compassion to others who might be reacting poorly due to their own struggles, but remember to set boundaries against mistreatment. Write to release emotions. Journaling is a powerful tool for processing emotions. By putting your thoughts and frustrations on paper, you can distance yourself from them and see what truly matters. ____20____ Remember, protecting your peace doesn’t mean holding back emotions. It’s okay to cry, scream, or confide in friends. The goal is to respond thoughtfully and limit harm, both to yourself and others. Sometimes, even a small step — like taking a deep breath — can make all the difference. A. Evaluate what matters. B. Take a pause before reacting. C. This clarity often reveals that many issues are not worth the fight. D. This doesn’t mean ignoring problems or pretending everything is fine. E. “Underreacting” refers to avoiding issues or acting as though all is perfect. F. For instance, don’t tackle sensitive discussions when you’re tired or overwhelmed. G. These practices help you develop the habit of responding calmly instead of reacting impulsively. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过多种方式来保护内心的平和，包括正念练习、评估事情重要性、留意触发因素及写日记等。 【16题详解】 上文“Instead, practicing gentler responses — what some call ‘underreacting’ — helps us navigate challenges more calmly.(相反，练习更温和的反应——有些人称之为“反应不足”——帮助我们更冷静地应对挑战)”及下文“It’s about choosing how to respond in a way that preserves your well-being.(而是关于选择如何以一种保护你幸福的方式做出反应)”说明保护内心平和不是不反应，而是以一种保护幸福的方式做出反应，空处承上启下，D选项中的“This doesn’t mean”与上文形成转折关系，进一步解释“反应不足”的真正含义，即不是忽视问题或假装一切都好，而是有选择地做出反应。所以D选项“这并不意味着忽视问题或假装一切都好”与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“Similarly, mindfulness practices like deep breathing or taking a sensory walk allow you to focus on the present moment.(同样，像深呼吸或进行感官漫步这样的正念练习可以让你专注于当下)”说明正念练习的作用，空处应该继续解释这些练习的好处，G选项中的“These practices”指代上文中的“mindfulness practices”，所以G选项“这些练习有助于你养成冷静应对的习惯，而不是冲动反应”总结了这些练习带来的习惯改变，符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 下文“When faced with something upsetting, ask yourself, ‘Do I really care about this?’ If the answer is no, let it go. If you’re unsure, dig deeper with questions like, ‘Why should I care?’ or ‘Do I have the energy to deal with this?’ Shifting your attention away from unimportant issues prevents unnecessary stress.(当你面对令人烦恼的事情时，问问自己，‘我真的在乎这件事吗？’如果答案是否定的，就放手吧。如果你不确定，可以用这样的问题深入挖掘：‘我为什么要在乎？’或者‘我有精力处理这件事吗？’将注意力从不重要的问题上转移开，可以避免不必要的压力)”说明本段主要讲的是评估事情的重要性，空处位于段首，应该概括本段内容，A选项“评估什么才是重要的”，概括本段主旨，适合作为段落小标题。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“Understanding these triggers allows you to avoid difficult situations when you’re not at your best.(了解这些触发因素可以让你在状态不佳时避免陷入困境)”说明了解触发因素的好处，空处应该举例说明如何避免触发因素，F选项中的“例如，当你疲惫或不堪重负时，不要进行敏感讨论”举例说明具体做法，符合语境。故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“By putting your thoughts and frustrations on paper, you can distance yourself from them and see what truly matters.(通过把你的想法和挫折写在纸上，你可以与它们保持距离，看看什么才是真正重要的)”说明写日记的好处，空处应该继续解释写日记带来的结果，C选项“这种清晰的洞察往往表明，许多问题其实并不值得去争执”中的“This clarity”指代上文中的“see what truly matters”，承接上文，说明这种清晰认知带来的结果，符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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。 There was a time when one of my classmates noticed me in class.

I stopped __4__my hair and fell in line."可知，作者长期拉直头发隐藏卷发并且拒绝参与泳池、海滩活动，本质是害怕他人因看到自己的卷发而发现自己在骗人。故选B。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有一天，我和往常一样，一只手拿着一些烧焦的头发，另一只手拿着直发器在浴室里。A. pulling拉；B. throwing扔；C. hiding躲藏；D. holding拿着。根据后文“some burnt hair in one hand and a hair straightener in the other as usual”可知，作者“拿着”烧焦的头发和直发器。故选D项。 【27题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：但是突然我的头发再也拉不直了。A. naturally自然地；B. temporarily暂时地；C. suddenly突然地；D. obviously明显地。根据前文“as usual”以及后文“my hair wouldn’t straighten anymore”可知，之前都能拉直，这次“突然”拉不直了。故选C项。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我还试着把每一缕头发都压下去。A. press down on压下；B. look back on回顾；C. relate to与……有关；D. take to喜欢上。根据后文“It wasn’t smoothing the curl.”可知，作者想把卷发“压下去”让它变顺。故选A项。 【29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：拉直头发并没有让我的生活更轻松，反而让我更焦虑。A. doubted怀疑；B. eased减轻；C. damaged损坏；D. shaped塑造。根据后文“but made me more anxious”可知，拉直头发没有“减轻”作者生活的压力，反而让作者更焦虑。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：因此，我把这个没用的工具扔进了垃圾桶。A. odd奇怪的；B. smelly有臭味的；C. pricey昂贵的；D. useless无用的。根据前文“hair wouldn’t straighten anymore”及“but made me more anxious”可知，直发器对作者而言已失去作用，变得“无用”，因此被丢弃。故选D项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：33岁的我，现在把我的卷发看作是我自然个性的反映。A. mirror反映，镜子；B. product产品；C. memory记忆；D. reward奖励。根据后文“of my natural personality”可知，作者把卷发看作是自己自然个性的“反映”。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：把羞耻从阴影中释放出来，深深抚慰了我的灵魂。A. comforted抚慰；B. excited使兴奋；C. contented使满足；D. surprised使惊讶。根据前文“Bringing the shame out of the shadows”可知，接纳自我、摆脱过往的羞愧，会“抚慰”内心，缓解长期的焦虑。故选A项。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：无论是不是卷发，我们在某些方面都是独特的。A. optimistic乐观的；B. confident自信的；C. unique独特的；D. wise明智的。根据后文“I also come to understand that __14__, too, doesn’t follow a straight path.”以及语境可知，作者领悟到每个人在某些方面都是“独特的”。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我也明白了成长也不是一条笔直的路。A. exploration探索；B. treatment治疗；C. ambition野心；D. growth成长。根据后文“keep moving forward in our growth”可知，此处指“成长”不是一条笔直的路。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，我们可以坚持让我们与众不同的东西，并在成长中继续前进。A. contribute贡献；B. stick坚持；C. react反应；D. submit提交。根据后文“to what makes us different and keep moving forward in our growth”可知，作者认为我们应该“坚持”让我们与众不同的东西。stick to为固定短语，意为“坚持”。故选B项。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 China is a country with a rich cultural heritage ____36____ (stretch) back thousands of years.

Additionally 44. greater 45. accessible 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍中国利用数字化技术保护文化遗产，以敦煌莫高窟、故宫数字化项目为例，阐述数字技术在文物保存、复刻、学术研究以及方便大众接触文化遗产等方面的重要作用。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：中国拥有绵延数千年的悠久文化遗产。句子已有谓语动词is，空格处为非谓语结构；cultural heritage和stretch是主动关系，因此用现在分词作后置定语修饰cultural heritage。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，随着时间的推移，再加上自然灾害、战争等其他因素，许多珍贵文物遭到损毁。空格前有定冠词the，后有介词of，此处需填入名词；passage作名词可表示 “（时间的）流逝”，the passage of time为固定搭配，意为“时光流逝”。 【38题详解】 考查含情态动词的被动语态。句意：近年来，中国运用数字化技术保护文化遗产，使文物能够留存下来，供后代观赏研究。it 指代cultural heritage，与preserve是被动关系；情态动词can后接动词原形，被动语态结构为can be done。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：中国数字化文物保护最知名的案例之一是敦煌莫高窟项目，该项目的目标是借助3D扫描和虚拟现实软件建立洞窟数字档案。先行词为the Dunhuang Mogao Cave Project，空格后接名词goal，二者属于所属关系，用whose引导非限制性定语从句，意为“……的”。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：依靠这项技术，故宫能够向全球游客展示文物，同时不会产生损坏珍贵艺术品的风险。根据句子语义，此处表示“没有、免于”，后接动名词risking，介词without符合语境。 【41题详解】 考查不定式。句意：3D 打印技术让国内研究人员能够复刻文物，包括古代佛像与清代青铜狮子。固定结构enable sb. to do sth.，不定式在句中作宾语补足语，表示“使某人能够做某事”。 【42题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：3D打印技术让国内研究人员能够复刻文物，包括古代佛像和一尊清代青铜狮子。lion是可数名词单数，此处表泛指；bronze以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词a修饰。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：此外，文化遗产数字化对学术研究和教育事业也起到关键作用。空格用来修饰整个句子，需要使用副词；形容词additional对应的副词形式是additionally，置于句首首字母大写。 【44题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：数字化成果让研究者可以比以往更细致地研究艺术品。句中出现比较标志词than，形容词great需要变形为比较级greater。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：数字化让文化遗产对公众更加容易接触，尤其是农村居民，他们原本无法亲自前往遗址参观。固定句式 make sth. + adj.表示“使某物变得……”，access的形容词形式 accessible，意为“可抵达的、易接触的”。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是校英文报记者李华，为引导学生了解中国历史，培养爱国情怀，你校上周举办了主题为“溯史寻踪，礼敬千秋”(Trace History, Honor Ages)的历史文化节。请你给校英文报写一篇活动报道，具体内容包括： 1.活动过程(至少三个环节) ； 2.师生反响。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.可适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 参考词汇：patriotism爱国主义 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Trace History, Honor Ages To enrich students’ knowledge of Chinese history and cultivate noble patriotism among teenagers, our school successfully held a grand History and Culture Festival themed "Trace History, Honor Ages" last week.

Every morning, he rode his old bicycle to school. His family was financially disadvantaged—his parents worked as cleaners and barely made enough money to pay the bills. So Kay always tried to be careful with his things, afraid of causing any extra trouble. One Tuesday morning, the sky was gray and it looked like it would rain. Kay hurried on his bicycle, worried about being late for class. As he turned a corner near the community park, a big bus suddenly appeared from the opposite direction. It was coming so fast that Kay didn’t have time to think. To avoid crashing into the bus, he quickly turned his bicycle to the right. But before he could stop, his bike hit a small black car parked by the roadside with a loud “bang”. Kay fell off his bike and scraped (擦伤) his knee. He stood up in a panic and checked the car. Oh, no! The car’s left headlight was completely broken, and there was a long scratch (刮痕) on the door. Kay’s heart started beating fast. He looked around—there was no one on the street, and he didn’t see any security cameras nearby. “I could just leave,” he thought. “No one will know it was me.” But then he thought about the car’s owner. The owner must have spent a lot of money on this car. If he left, the owner would have to pay for the repair all by himself. Kay looked into his schoolbag. He found a piece of sticky note and a pen. He wrote: “Dear car owner, I’m Kay, a student. I hit your car by accident this morning. I’m sorry. Please call 555–7890 so we can talk about the repair.” He stuck the note on the car’s windshield (风挡) and then rode to school, feeling a little nervous but also calm. 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。 At night, Tina, the car owner, noticed the broken headlight first. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At night, Tina, the car owner, returned to her car and noticed the broken headlight first. She was shocked and annoyed when she saw the damage. “What on earth happened?” she murmured to herself. Then her eyes caught the sticky note on the windshield. She read it carefully, learning about Kay’s accident in detail. She took out her phone and dialed the number Kay had left without hesitation. Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry at all. When Kay answered the phone, she said gently, “Hello, Kay. I’m Tina, the car owner. I saw your note. Accidents happen, and I really appreciate your honesty. Don’t worry about the money for the repair. I can manage it easily. You just focus on your studies.” Kay was extremely relieved and deeply grateful. He thanked Tina repeatedly. From that day on, Kay learned that honesty was always the best choice, and it could even bring unexpected kindness and understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了家境贫寒的学生Kay意外撞坏他人汽车后，主动留下联系方式承担责任，车主因他的诚实选择不予追责的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当晚，车主Tina回到车旁，首先注意到了破碎的前灯。”以及第二段首句内容“出乎Kay的意料，Tina一点也没生气。”可知，第一段可描写Tina看到了Kay的留言，拨通了Kay的电话。 ②由第二段首句内容“出乎Kay的意料，Tina一点也没生气。”可知，第二段可描写Tina原谅了Kay，让他不用偿还修理费，并表扬了他的诚实。 2.续写线索：Tina看到了破碎的前灯，非常恼火——她看到了Kay留下的便利贴——Tina详细了解了Kay的情况，并拨打了他的电话——电话接通后，Tina并没有发火——她表扬了Kay的诚实，并表示不需要Kay付维修费用——Kay如释重负，非常感激Tina 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①知道：learn/ know ②专注：focus on/ concentrate on ③成功做：manage it/ make it 情绪类 ①恼怒的：annoyed/angry ②感激的：grateful/ thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】She was shocked and annoyed when she saw the damage.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】From that day on, Kay learned that honesty was always the best choice, and it could even bring unexpected kindness and understanding.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期高二第三次监测英语试卷 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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.

The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: ● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. ● A total of up to six points can be earned each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 1. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. MTR Station. D. LWS Building. 2. What are participants required to do to score? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Choose a pre-set route. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Complete a round trip. 3. How many points do you get daily by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. B Speeding up and flying over a car while switching hands with a between-the-legs movement to throw the ball home, Chen Dengxing, aged 39 and standing 1.76 meters tall, made history by becoming the first athlete from China to win the dunk (扣篮) contest of the world’s biggest streetball competition in 2025. Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice. The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China’s dunk team told him, “With your bounce and explosiveness, you don’t belong behind a bank counter.” Cha’s encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker. To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. Erom the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced. Now Chen has founded a dunk park which has quickly attracted many visitors who are eager to learn from him or simply witness his high-flying skills firsthand. “I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage,” Chen said. 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Chen’s great achievement. B. The rules of the dunk contest. C. Chen’s physical appearance. D. The history of the dunk contest. 5. What does Chen’s career shift show? A. Risk-taking guarantees success. B. Opportunities favor prepared mind. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Natural talent outweighs hard work. 6. Which of the following best describes Chen in his professional training? A. Generous and sincere. B. Focused and devoted. C. Determined and brave. D. Patient and ambitious. 7. Why did Chen set up a dunk park? A. To select coaches. B. To attract visitors. C. To support dunkers. D. To meet followers. C Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap, instead it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black. Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising. Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group, because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”, asked if Elon Musk’s tweets of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias. Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather (经受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School. But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering? Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda? All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too? 8. What do the words “this trap” underlined in the first paragraph refer to? A. Having a racial bias. B. Responding to wrong texts. C. Criticizing political figures. D. Going against historical facts. 9. What did Gemini refuse to do? A. Argue for higher education. B. Write a fossil-fuel lobby ad. C. Call Hamas a terrorist group. D. Judge Elon Musk’s memes. 10. What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch? A. Creative. B. Promising. C. Illegal. D. Debatable. 11. What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph? A. Its security is doubted. B. It lacks financial support. C. It needs further improvement. D. Its employees are irresponsible. D Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty. Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon.” His point is unsettling. The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices. The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.” Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward. Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system(seek rewards), the Protect system(avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system(engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition(直觉)not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.” 12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon feeding? A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts. C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity. 13. Which might be a “moment of unease”? A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds. B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill. C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition. D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field. 14. What can make leaders fail according to the author? A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience. C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The trap of right answers B. The power of human intuition C. The limits of simple solutions D. The wisdom of open doubt 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Art of Protecting Your Peace Learning to protect your peace is essential for maintaining emotional well-being. When we don’t prioritize peace, we waste energy trying to change things we can’t control. Instead, practicing gentler responses — what some call “underreacting” — helps us navigate challenges more calmly. ____16____ It’s about choosing how to respond in a way that preserves your well-being. Practice mindfulness regularly. Mindfulness and meditation are effective tools for cultivating peace. Meditation teaches you to let go of annoying thoughts instead of fighting them. Similarly, mindfulness practices like deep breathing or taking a sensory walk allow you to focus on the present moment. ____17____ ____18____ When faced with something upsetting, ask yourself, “Do I really care about this?” If the answer is no, let it go. If you’re unsure, dig deeper with questions like, “Why should I care?” or “Do I have the energy to deal with this?” Shifting your attention away from unimportant issues prevents unnecessary stress. Be mindful of your triggers. Overreacting often stems from external factors like hunger, stress, or fatigue. Understanding these triggers allows you to avoid difficult situations when you’re not at your best. ____19____ Similarly, show compassion to others who might be reacting poorly due to their own struggles, but remember to set boundaries against mistreatment. Write to release emotions. Journaling is a powerful tool for processing emotions. By putting your thoughts and frustrations on paper, you can distance yourself from them and see what truly matters. ____20____ Remember, protecting your peace doesn’t mean holding back emotions. It’s okay to cry, scream, or confide in friends. The goal is to respond thoughtfully and limit harm, both to yourself and others. Sometimes, even a small step — like taking a deep breath — can make all the difference. A. Evaluate what matters. B. Take a pause before reacting. C. This clarity often reveals that many issues are not worth the fight. D. This doesn’t mean ignoring problems or pretending everything is fine. E. “Underreacting” refers to avoiding issues or acting as though all is perfect. F. For instance, don’t tackle sensitive discussions when you’re tired or overwhelmed. G. These practices help you develop the habit of responding calmly instead of reacting impulsively. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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。 There was a time when one of my classmates noticed me in class.

Every morning, he rode his old bicycle to school. His family was financially disadvantaged—his parents worked as cleaners and barely made enough money to pay the bills. So Kay always tried to be careful with his things, afraid of causing any extra trouble. One Tuesday morning, the sky was gray and it looked like it would rain. Kay hurried on his bicycle, worried about being late for class. As he turned a corner near the community park, a big bus suddenly appeared from the opposite direction. It was coming so fast that Kay didn’t have time to think. To avoid crashing into the bus, he quickly turned his bicycle to the right. But before he could stop, his bike hit a small black car parked by the roadside with a loud “bang”. Kay fell off his bike and scraped (擦伤) his knee. He stood up in a panic and checked the car. Oh, no! The car’s left headlight was completely broken, and there was a long scratch (刮痕) on the door. Kay’s heart started beating fast. He looked around—there was no one on the street, and he didn’t see any security cameras nearby. “I could just leave,” he thought. “No one will know it was me.” But then he thought about the car’s owner. The owner must have spent a lot of money on this car. If he left, the owner would have to pay for the repair all by himself. Kay looked into his schoolbag. He found a piece of sticky note and a pen. He wrote: “Dear car owner, I’m Kay, a student. I hit your car by accident this morning. I’m sorry. Please call 555–7890 so we can talk about the repair.” He stuck the note on the car’s windshield (风挡) and then rode to school, feeling a little nervous but also calm. 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。 At night, Tina, the car owner, noticed the broken headlight first. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
