People with growth mindsets believe that: • You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills. • Failure is a valuable lesson. • People who are good at something are good because they build that ability. • You are in control of your abilities. have a desire to look smart, so tend to: — Avoid challenges. — Give up easily. — See effort as fruitless or worse. — Ignore useful negative feedback. — Feel threatened by the success of others. have a desire to learn, so tend to: — Welcome challenges. — Insist in the face of setbacks (挫折). — See effort as the path to mastery. — Learn from criticism. — Find lessons and encouragement in the success of others. As a result, they may stay at the same level early and achieve less than their full potential. As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement. Change can be tough, but I’ve never heard anyone say it wasn’t worth it. Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one. 1. What do people with fixed mindsets tend to do? A. Embrace challenges and insist. B. Avoid challenges and give up easily. C. Learn from criticism and failure. D. Find encouragement in others’ success. 2. What is a person with a growth mindset likely to say? A. Failure just proves I am not good enough. B.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍固定型思维模式与成长型思维模式各自秉持的观念、对应的行事倾向以及二者最终带来的不同结果，同时分享了作者切换为成长型思维模式后的切身感悟。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文左侧表格中“have a desire to look smart, so tend to: — Avoid challenges. — Give up easily.(渴望看起来聪明，因此往往会：回避挑战、轻易放弃。)”可知，拥有固定型思维模式的人倾向于回避挑战并且轻易放弃。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文右侧表格中“have a desire to learn, so tend to: — See effort as the path to mastery.(有着学习的渴望，因此往往会：将付出努力视作掌握技能的途径。)”可知，具备成长型思维的人大概率会说出“努力确实能够帮助自己精通事物”这句话。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据表格顶部配图出现书籍名称mindset，且全文围绕思维模式、个人成长进步展开科普及末尾“Change can be tough, but I’ve never heard anyone say it wasn’t worth it. Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one.(改变的过程或许艰难，但我从未听谁说过这份改变不值得。转变为成长型思维模式就能解决我所有的问题吗？并不能。但我清楚，正是这份转变让我的人生焕然一新——变得更加丰盈充实。)”讲述自身转变思维收获更好生活的感悟可知，这篇文本最有可能出自一本关于个人成长发展的书籍。 B Growing up in a steel factory community in Henan Province, Chen Dong never imagined he would reach for the stars. His childhood was filled with the roar (咆哮) of heavy machinery and the orange light of liquid steel — not the thunder of rocket engines. But a seed was planted in 2003, when news spread across the country that Yang Liwei had become China’s first man in space. Chen, then an air force pilot, felt something change within him: I want to go there too. Seven years of hard training followed after he was selected in 2010 as a member of China’s second generation of astronauts. In 2016, he boarded Shenzhou-11, spending 33 days in orbit. That mission, he reflected, taught him space is not simply a destination, but a responsibility. Then came 2025, and his greatest challenge. As the head of Shenzhou-20, Chen led his team on a 204-day orbital marathon aboard China’s space station, the longest single spaceflight in the nation’s history. They carried out more than 120 tasks, from updating equipment to performing experiments in microgravity (微重力). Four times, Chen floated outside the station into the darkness of space, each movement a careful dance with danger. But the mission presented an unexpected test. After a small crack was discovered in their original return capsule (返回舱), the team had to change to Shenzhou-21, a first in China’s spaceflight history. “We trained for this,” Chen said with calm. On November 14, 2025, they touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site in the Gobi Desert. In January 2026, the nation honored Chen with its highest space honor: the First-Class Space Service Medal. His journey — from a boy surrounded by factory smoke to one of the most experienced astronauts — speaks to a truth: the road to the stars is built on patience, courage, and a strong belief that the impossible is something not yet achieved. 4. What first inspired Chen Dong to dream of space? A. Watching his father at work. B. Learning of China’s first man in space. C. Seeing a rocket launch in person. D. Hearing rocket engine sounds as a child. 5. What made the mission of Shenzhou-20 historically significant? A. It marked China’s longest single spaceflight so far. B. The astronauts completed just 120 tasks during the flight. C. It was the first time a Chinese astronaut had spacewalked. D. The team had no choice but to return in their original return capsule. 6. What is the correct time order of the following events in Chen Dong’s life? ① He spent 33 days in orbit aboard Shenzhou-11. ② He was awarded the First-Class Space Service Medal. ③ He was selected as a member of China’s second generation of astronauts. ④ He led a 204-day mission and returned safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site. A. ① → ③ → ④ → ② B. ③ → ④ → ① → ② C. ③ → ① → ④ → ② D. ① → ④ → ③ → ② 7. Which of the following best describes Chen Dong’s character? A. Brave and generous. B. Responsible and humorous. C. Calm and determined. D. Hard-working and outgoing. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述航天员陈冬的成长经历、航天生涯，包括数次太空飞行任务、特殊应急情况以及他获得国家级航天荣誉的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But a seed was planted in 2003, when news spread across the country that Yang Liwei had become China’s first man in space. (但一颗种子在2003年播下了，当时杨利伟成为中国首位进入太空的人这一消息传遍全国。)”可知，陈冬的太空梦最初是受到中国首位进入太空的航天员杨利伟的激励。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then came 2025, and his greatest challenge. As the head of Shenzhou-20, Chen led his team on a 204-day orbital marathon aboard China’s space station, the longest single spaceflight in the nation’s history. (随后到了2025年，他面临最大的挑战。作为神舟二十号的指挥官，陈带领团队在中国空间站完成了为期204天的轨道马拉松，这是中国历史上最长的单次太空飞行。)”可知，神舟二十号任务的历史意义在于它标志着中国迄今为止最长的单次太空飞行。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Seven years of hard training followed after he was selected in 2010 as a member of China’s second generation of astronauts. In 2016, he boarded Shenzhou-11, spending 33 days in orbit. (2010年他被选为中国第二批航天员后，经历了七年的艰苦训练。2016年，他登上神舟十一号，在轨飞行33天。)”以及第三段“Then came 2025, and his greatest challenge. As the head of Shenzhou-20, Chen led his team on a 204-day orbital marathon aboard China’s space station, the longest single spaceflight in the nation’s history. (2025年，他迎来了最大挑战。作为神舟二十号任务指挥官，陈带领团队在中国空间站完成了为期204天的轨道马拉松任务——这是中国历史上单次最长的太空飞行。)和第四段“But the mission presented an unexpected test. After a small crack was discovered in their original return capsule (返回舱), the team had to change to Shenzhou-21, a first in China’s spaceflight history. ‘We trained for this,’ Chen said with calm. On November 14, 2025, they touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site in the Gobi Desert. (但任务遭遇了意外考验：原定返回舱出现裂缝后，团队不得不改乘神舟二十一号返回，这在中国航天史上尚属首次。‘我们为此训练过，’陈平静地说。2025年11月14日，他们在戈壁沙漠的东风着陆场安全着陆。)”和第五段“In January 2026, the nation honored Chen with its highest space honor: the First-Class Space Service Medal. His journey. (2026年1月，国家授予他最高航天荣誉——一级航天功勋奖章。)”可知，事件正确的时间顺序为：③被选为第二批航天员 → ①执行神舟十一号任务 → ④执行神舟二十号任务并安全返回 → ②获得一级航天功勋奖章。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘We trained for this,’ Chen said with calm. (‘我们为此训练过，’陈平静地说。)”以及全文对他历经多年艰苦训练、坚持完成漫长太空任务的描述可知，陈冬在面对突发状况时保持冷静，在追求航天梦想的过程中表现出坚定的意志。 C A new kind of building is changing city skylines worldwide. Known as “vertical forests (垂直森林)”, these towers are not just concrete and steel. They are living, breathing structures (建筑结构) covered top to bottom with hundreds of trees, thousands of low plants and plenty of flowering plants. First developed in Milan, Italy, with the Bosco Verticale towers, the idea has spread to more than 30 cities worldwide, from Nanjing to Eindhoven, with new projects completed in 2026. It offers a fresh answer to an old question: how do we make room for nature in increasingly crowded cities? The environmental advantages are powerful. All this greenery acts as a huge natural cleaner, taking in carbon dioxide and other harmful gases while giving off oxygen. The thick growth creates small habitats far above ground. Birds nest in branches, butterflies fly between flowers, and insects find shelter in the leaves. For cities where wildlife has been pushed to the edges, these towers offer much-needed support. They also provide a cooling effect. By shading surfaces and giving off water into the air, the plants lower local temperatures greatly, helping reduce the “heat island” effect that makes urban (城市的) summers uncomfortable. However, growing a sky forest is no easy task. The weight of adult trees and wet soil places great pressure on a building’s structure, demanding stronger design than flat buildings. Daily care is another challenge: watering, cutting back, and replacing plants need trained gardeners, not ordinary cleaners. Worse, extreme weather brings risks-a sudden storm or long drought can destroy months of careful growth in days. Despite these difficulties, vertical forests are growing in popularity. Schools, hospitals, and public buildings increasingly cover their walls with greenery, as more people recognize that urban development need not come at nature’s cost. With careful planning and effort, cities will become places where human life and the natural world not only coexist but truly grow well together. 8. What is one environmental benefit of vertical forests according to Paragraph 2? A. They take in oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. B. They provide perfect habitats for all urban wildlife. C. They help reduce the urban heat island effect effectively. D. They can provide fresh food for people living in the city. 9. Why is building vertical forests difficult? A. High cost and few skilled workers. B. Structural pressure and hard care. C. Bad weather and little public support. D. Less space and low plant survival. 10. How does the author feel about the future of vertical forests? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Objective. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Effective ways to solve the urban heat island problem. B. The amazing environmental advantages of vertical forests. C. The history of modern architectural development in Milan. D. The concept, benefits, challenges and future of vertical forests. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了新型建筑“垂直森林”，阐述了它的概念、环境效益、建造养护面临的挑战以及未来发展前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“By shading surfaces and giving off water into the air, the plants lower local temperatures greatly, helping reduce the “heat island” effect that makes urban summers uncomfortable.(通过遮挡建筑表面、向空气中散发水分，这些植物可以大幅降低局部温度，帮助缓解造成城市夏季不适的“热岛效应”。)”可知，垂直森林能有效帮助缓解城市热岛效应。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The weight of adult trees and wet soil places great pressure on a building’s structure, demanding stronger design than flat buildings. Daily care is another challenge: watering, cutting back, and replacing plants need trained gardeners, not ordinary cleaners.(成年树木和潮湿土壤的重量会给建筑结构带来巨大压力，要求比普通建筑采用更坚固的设计。日常养护是另一项挑战：浇水、修剪和更换植物都需要训练有素的园丁，而非普通清洁人员。)”可知，建造垂直森林的难点在于结构压力和养护难度。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite these difficulties, vertical forests are growing in popularity. Schools, hospitals, and public buildings increasingly cover their walls with greenery, as more people recognize that urban development need not come at nature’s cost. With careful planning and effort, cities will become places where human life and the natural world not only coexist but truly grow well together.(尽管存在这些困难，垂直森林正日益受到欢迎。越来越多的学校、医院和公共建筑开始在墙壁上种植绿植，因为人们越来越意识到，城市的发展不必以牺牲自然为代价。只要精心规划并付出努力，城市将成为人类生活与自然世界不仅共存，而且真正和谐共生的地方。)”可知，作者对垂直森林的未来充满希望。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了垂直森林的基本概念，第二段介绍了它的环境效益，第三段介绍了建造养护面临的挑战，第四段介绍了它的发展前景，可知本文主旨是介绍垂直森林的概念、优势、挑战与未来。 D Not long ago, at Los Angeles International Airport, I got into a taxi. On the highway, driverless cars were driving next to us. The driver asked me what I thought about AI. But before I could answer, he started sharing his worry: in the age of AI, humans will finally lose all their jobs. I agree that AI is very helpful in areas like healthcare. There are also real concerns, such as hackers misusing AI or data centers using too much energy. However, I’m not very worried about AI taking away people’s jobs. Why? It comes down to “Polanyi’s Paradox” — the idea that humans often know things they can’t explain. This limits how well AI can copy important human abilities. For example, in math, we can list step-by-step methods for collecting and analyzing data, and then teach them to students. That is explicit knowledge. But many human activities depend on abilities we understand by instinct（直觉) — we can’t easily put them into words. That is implicit knowledge. Because of this, human feelings, personal beliefs, and empathy (共情) create strong barriers that stop AI from replacing humans at work. Dr. Tom McClelland from Clare College made a good point: a computer can win a chess game, but it can’t feel the joy of winning. Those inner experiences come from human consciousness (意识) — something that plays a key role in our growth, culture, and behavior, which are the foundation of society. You cannot program consciousness. Scientists have studied it for a long time, but we still can’t even agree on what consciousness really is. These obstacles don’t necessarily help the Los Angeles taxi driver, who still has to compete with self-driving cars. But they remind us that we’ve faced similar fears before — and over the centuries, technology has improved our quality of life, not lowered it. 12. Why does the author mention the taxi driver’s worry in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a common fear about AI. B. To show the taxi driver misunderstands AI. C. To prove that driverless cars are safer than taxis. D. To express the author’s sympathy for the driver. 13. How does implicit knowledge differ from explicit knowledge? A. It is easy to explain. B. It is mainly based on instinct. C. It can be taught step by step. D. It depends on collecting and analyzing. 14. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean in Paragraph 5? A. difficulties B. solutions C. opportunities D. advantages 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will Driverless Cars Replace All Taxi Drivers? B. AI’s Energy Crisis and Hacker Threats. C. Why AI Cannot Fully Replace Human Jobs? D. A Taxi Driver’s Misunderstanding of AI. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以洛杉矶出租车司机担忧人工智能会夺走人类工作的经历开篇，通过波兰尼悖论区分显性知识与隐性知识，阐释人类意识、共情等独有特质，论证人工智能无法完全取代人类工作的核心观点。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But before I could answer, he started sharing his worry: in the age of AI, humans will finally lose all their jobs.(我还没来得及回答，他就说出了自己的担忧：在人工智能时代，人类最终会失去所有工作)”，司机的担忧是大众普遍存在的对人工智能的焦虑，作者以此引出全文核心话题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But many human activities depend on abilities we understand by instinct (直觉)— we can’t easily put them into words. That is implicit knowledge.(但许多人类活动依靠直觉形成的能力开展，难以用语言描述。这就是隐性知识)”可知，隐性知识主要依托直觉。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Because of this, human feelings, personal beliefs, and empathy(共情) create strong barriers that stop AI from replacing humans at work(因此，人类的情感、信念和共情形成了强大壁垒，阻碍人工智能取代人类工作)”可知，第五段“These obstacles”指代前文阻碍AI替代人类工作的壁垒、阻碍因素，obstacles意为“阻碍、困难”。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据的第二段“However, I’m not very worried about AI taking away people’s jobs.(然而，我并不十分担心AI会夺走人类的工作)”，文章核心围绕“为什么AI不能完全取代人类工作”展开论证，C项适合用作标题。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Listen to and Enjoy Classical Music Classical music can be exciting, deeply moving and often simply amazing. Listening to it is not a duty, and you don’t need formal training to enjoy it — just your ears and imagination. ____16____ Find music that catches your interest. ____17____ Listen freely, and you are sure to hear interesting things. Once a piece moves you, a simple online search will bring up more works by the same musician. There is no “right” or “wrong”. Just follow what sounds good to you. Try listening in different ways. Follow the melody (旋律) and notice how it changes, for melody is the heart of classical music. Pay attention to musical colours — musicians mix sounds the way painters mix colours. ____18____ Debussy’s “Clouds” moves slowly, while Haydn’s “The Rider” races with wild energy. You can also notice repeated tunes (曲调) with small changes. When an old melody appears differently, it will touch you greatly. ____19____ The same piece can sound surprisingly different in different performances. For example, William Grant Still’s piano piece “Summerland”, a musical vision of paradise (天堂), can sound calm and peaceful in one pianist’s hands, yet more searching and full of longing (渴望) in another’s. So listen widely and revisit your favourites. You may discover new things you never noticed before. Classical music is a journey of discovery, not a test. All you need to do is listen with your imagination. ____20____ A. Compare old music with new music. B. Here are a few simple ways to help you. C. Let it guide you, and enjoy the adventure. D. Remember that every performance is unique. E. You can let the music paint pictures in your mind. F. You could try to remember the names of famous pieces. G. Apps and online radio can help you find music you like. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍欣赏古典音乐的几种简单方法，告诉读者无需专业训练也能听懂、享受古典音乐，包括寻找感兴趣的曲目、用多种方式聆听、感受不同演奏版本的差异，最后指出欣赏古典音乐是一场充满想象力的探索之旅。 【16题详解】 上文“Listening to it is not a duty, and you don’t need formal training to enjoy it — just your ears and imagination.(欣赏古典音乐并非任务，你不需要专业训练，只需要耳朵与想象力。)”引出普通人也能享受古典音乐的观点。选项B“Here are a few simple ways to help you.(下面有几个简单方法可以帮到你。)”总起全文，引出下文分段介绍的各类聆听技巧。 【17题详解】 上文“Find music that catches your interest.(找到吸引你的乐曲。)”本段中心是如何找到喜欢的乐曲。选项G“Apps and online radio can help you find music you like.(各类应用与网络电台能帮你找到喜爱的音乐。)”给出寻找乐曲的渠道。后文“Once a piece moves you, a simple online search will bring up more works by the same musician.(如果一首曲子打动了你，简单线上搜索就能找到同一位作曲家更多作品。)”同样围绕线上渠道拓展内容，前后逻辑一致。 【18题详解】 上文“Pay attention to musical colours — musicians mix sounds the way painters mix colours.(留意音乐色彩，音乐家调配音色如同画家调配颜料。)”把音乐比作绘画。选项E“You can let the music paint pictures in your mind.(你可以任由音乐在脑海中勾勒画面。)”承接绘画类比，说明聆听时发挥想象的方法。 【19题详解】 后文“The same piece can sound surprisingly different in different performances.(同一首乐曲，不同演绎版本听起来差别极大。)”核心讲述演奏版本的差异性。选项D“Remember that every performance is unique.(记住每一场演绎都是独一无二的。)”为本段主旨句，总领全段。后文举同一钢琴曲由不同钢琴家演奏带来两种不同感受的例子，印证该观点。 【20题详解】 上文“Classical music is a journey of discovery, not a test. All you need to do is listen with your imagination.(古典音乐是一场探索之旅，而非一场考试。你只需带着想象力去聆听。)”总结欣赏古典音乐的核心。选项C“Let it guide you, and enjoy the adventure.(让音乐指引你，享受这场奇妙旅程。)”收尾升华，呼应前文“journey of discovery”。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 “Additional answer paper, please.” As I raised my hand, all heads turned towards me.

His wife Mary was lying in bed, her face white. She couldn’t talk much. The doctor said she needed a surgery (外科手术) to live. But the money — it was too much for them. Tom had worked all his life, but he just didn’t have that kind of money. He was so worried that he went out to the hospital garden to get some air. The wind was blowing. Leaves were everywhere. As he walked near a bench, his foot hit something. He looked down. A small black bag was sitting there, half covered by leaves. He looked around — nobody. So he picked it up. When he opened it, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Inside were thick stacks of money. Some old envelopes were tucked into (被塞进) the side pocket. On the front of one envelope, someone had written: “Dr. David Jackson, Internal Medicine (内科).” For a moment, Tom’s hand shook. This money could save Mary. He thought about her, lying there, waiting for help. But the envelope told him the money was not his — it was for someone else, someone who was probably also in trouble. He closed his eyes for a long time. Then he turned around and walked back into the hospital building. At the front desk, he put the bag down. “I found this in the garden,” he said. Then he left. That evening, Tom sat by Mary’s bed, holding her hand. She was asleep. Then he heard a knock at the door. A young man walked in, his coat wet from the rain. He held a small notebook. “Sorry to bother you, sir,” he said. “I’m a reporter from the city newspaper. Someone told me you returned a bag full of money today.” 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。 Para. 1: The reporter asked Tom why he returned the money. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: The next day, Tom’s story moved many readers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The reporter asked Tom why he returned the money. Tom looked at him calmly, “My wife is seriously ill and I do need a lot of money for her surgery. But this money is not mine. It belongs to another person who may be waiting anxiously to save their own family. If I took it, I would live with guilt forever. I can’t do that.” The reporter nodded in respect, took a few more notes, and left after saying goodnight. The next day, Tom’s story moved many readers. Hundreds of readers called the newspaper to donate money to help the honest couple. Soon Tom collected enough money for Mary’s surgery. Even the owner of the bag, Dr. Jackson, waived part of the medical fee for Mary. The surgery went perfectly, and Mary recovered gradually. Tom’s experience proves that honesty always brings good luck in the end. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。工厂工人汤姆在妻子急需手术费却无力支付时，偶然捡到一个装满钱的包。尽管内心挣扎，他依然坚守良知，将包交还医院。他的诚实被报道后，引发了社会的爱心捐助，加上包主人给减免了医疗费，妻子最终成功获救。文章借此证明了：诚实总会带来善报。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写汤姆就自己为何归还钱包做了解释。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写在大家的捐助下汤姆的妻子顺利地做了手术。 2. 续写线索：回答——表示尊敬——捐赠——做手术——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 募集：collect/raise 捐赠：donate/give away 情绪类 愧疚：guilt/shame 焦急地：anxiously/with anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】It belongs to another person who may be waiting anxiously to save their own family.

People with growth mindsets believe that: • You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills. • Failure is a valuable lesson. • People who are good at something are good because they build that ability. • You are in control of your abilities. have a desire to look smart, so tend to: — Avoid challenges. — Give up easily. — See effort as fruitless or worse. — Ignore useful negative feedback. — Feel threatened by the success of others. have a desire to learn, so tend to: — Welcome challenges. — Insist in the face of setbacks (挫折). — See effort as the path to mastery. — Learn from criticism. — Find lessons and encouragement in the success of others.

Change can be tough, but I’ve never heard anyone say it wasn’t worth it. Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one. 1. What do people with fixed mindsets tend to do? A. Embrace challenges and insist. B. Avoid challenges and give up easily.

B Growing up in a steel factory community in Henan Province, Chen Dong never imagined he would reach for the stars. His childhood was filled with the roar (咆哮) of heavy machinery and the orange light of liquid steel — not the thunder of rocket engines. But a seed was planted in 2003, when news spread across the country that Yang Liwei had become China’s first man in space. Chen, then an air force pilot, felt something change within him: I want to go there too. Seven years of hard training followed after he was selected in 2010 as a member of China’s second generation of astronauts. In 2016, he boarded Shenzhou-11, spending 33 days in orbit. That mission, he reflected, taught him space is not simply a destination, but a responsibility. Then came 2025, and his greatest challenge. As the head of Shenzhou-20, Chen led his team on a 204-day orbital marathon aboard China’s space station, the longest single spaceflight in the nation’s history. They carried out more than 120 tasks, from updating equipment to performing experiments in microgravity (微重力). Four times, Chen floated outside the station into the darkness of space, each movement a careful dance with danger. But the mission presented an unexpected test. After a small crack was discovered in their original return capsule (返回舱), the team had to change to Shenzhou-21, a first in China’s spaceflight history. “We trained for this,” Chen said with calm. On November 14, 2025, they touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site in the Gobi Desert. In January 2026, the nation honored Chen with its highest space honor: the First-Class Space Service Medal. His journey — from a boy surrounded by factory smoke to one of the most experienced astronauts — speaks to a truth: the road to the stars is built on patience, courage, and a strong belief that the impossible is something not yet achieved. 4. What first inspired Chen Dong to dream of space? A. Watching his father at work. B. Learning of China’s first man in space. C. Seeing a rocket launch in person. D. Hearing rocket engine sounds as a child. 5. What made the mission of Shenzhou-20 historically significant? A. It marked China’s longest single spaceflight so far. B. The astronauts completed just 120 tasks during the flight. C. It was the first time a Chinese astronaut had spacewalked. D. The team had no choice but to return in their original return capsule. 6. What is the correct time order of the following events in Chen Dong’s life? ① He spent 33 days in orbit aboard Shenzhou-11. ② He was awarded the First-Class Space Service Medal. ③ He was selected as a member of China’s second generation of astronauts. ④ He led a 204-day mission and returned safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site. A. ① → ③ → ④ → ② B. ③ → ④ → ① → ② C. ③ → ① → ④ → ② D. ① → ④ → ③ → ② 7. Which of the following best describes Chen Dong’s character? A. Brave and generous. B. Responsible and humorous. C. Calm and determined. D. Hard-working and outgoing. C A new kind of building is changing city skylines worldwide. Known as “vertical forests (垂直森林)”, these towers are not just concrete and steel. They are living, breathing structures (建筑结构) covered top to bottom with hundreds of trees, thousands of low plants and plenty of flowering plants. First developed in Milan, Italy, with the Bosco Verticale towers, the idea has spread to more than 30 cities worldwide, from Nanjing to Eindhoven, with new projects completed in 2026. It offers a fresh answer to an old question: how do we make room for nature in increasingly crowded cities? The environmental advantages are powerful. All this greenery acts as a huge natural cleaner, taking in carbon dioxide and other harmful gases while giving off oxygen. The thick growth creates small habitats far above ground. Birds nest in branches, butterflies fly between flowers, and insects find shelter in the leaves. For cities where wildlife has been pushed to the edges, these towers offer much-needed support. They also provide a cooling effect. By shading surfaces and giving off water into the air, the plants lower local temperatures greatly, helping reduce the “heat island” effect that makes urban (城市的) summers uncomfortable. However, growing a sky forest is no easy task. The weight of adult trees and wet soil places great pressure on a building’s structure, demanding stronger design than flat buildings. Daily care is another challenge: watering, cutting back, and replacing plants need trained gardeners, not ordinary cleaners. Worse, extreme weather brings risks-a sudden storm or long drought can destroy months of careful growth in days. Despite these difficulties, vertical forests are growing in popularity. Schools, hospitals, and public buildings increasingly cover their walls with greenery, as more people recognize that urban development need not come at nature’s cost. With careful planning and effort, cities will become places where human life and the natural world not only coexist but truly grow well together. 8. What is one environmental benefit of vertical forests according to Paragraph 2? A. They take in oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. B. They provide perfect habitats for all urban wildlife. C. They help reduce the urban heat island effect effectively. D. They can provide fresh food for people living in the city. 9. Why is building vertical forests difficult? A. High cost and few skilled workers. B. Structural pressure and hard care. C. Bad weather and little public support. D. Less space and low plant survival. 10. How does the author feel about the future of vertical forests? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Objective. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Effective ways to solve the urban heat island problem. B. The amazing environmental advantages of vertical forests. C. The history of modern architectural development in Milan. D. The concept, benefits, challenges and future of vertical forests. D Not long ago, at Los Angeles International Airport, I got into a taxi. On the highway, driverless cars were driving next to us. The driver asked me what I thought about AI. But before I could answer, he started sharing his worry: in the age of AI, humans will finally lose all their jobs. I agree that AI is very helpful in areas like healthcare. There are also real concerns, such as hackers misusing AI or data centers using too much energy. However, I’m not very worried about AI taking away people’s jobs. Why? It comes down to “Polanyi’s Paradox” — the idea that humans often know things they can’t explain. This limits how well AI can copy important human abilities. For example, in math, we can list step-by-step methods for collecting and analyzing data, and then teach them to students. That is explicit knowledge. But many human activities depend on abilities we understand by instinct（直觉) — we can’t easily put them into words. That is implicit knowledge. Because of this, human feelings, personal beliefs, and empathy (共情) create strong barriers that stop AI from replacing humans at work. Dr. Tom McClelland from Clare College made a good point: a computer can win a chess game, but it can’t feel the joy of winning. Those inner experiences come from human consciousness (意识) — something that plays a key role in our growth, culture, and behavior, which are the foundation of society. You cannot program consciousness. Scientists have studied it for a long time, but we still can’t even agree on what consciousness really is. These obstacles don’t necessarily help the Los Angeles taxi driver, who still has to compete with self-driving cars. But they remind us that we’ve faced similar fears before — and over the centuries, technology has improved our quality of life, not lowered it. 12. Why does the author mention the taxi driver’s worry in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a common fear about AI. B. To show the taxi driver misunderstands AI. C. To prove that driverless cars are safer than taxis. D. To express the author’s sympathy for the driver. 13. How does implicit knowledge differ from explicit knowledge? A. It is easy to explain. B. It is mainly based on instinct. C. It can be taught step by step. D. It depends on collecting and analyzing. 14. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean in Paragraph 5? A. difficulties B. solutions C. opportunities D. advantages 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will Driverless Cars Replace All Taxi Drivers? B. AI’s Energy Crisis and Hacker Threats. C. Why AI Cannot Fully Replace Human Jobs? D. A Taxi Driver’s Misunderstanding of AI. 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。 How to Listen to and Enjoy Classical Music Classical music can be exciting, deeply moving and often simply amazing. Listening to it is not a duty, and you don’t need formal training to enjoy it — just your ears and imagination. ____16____ Find music that catches your interest. ____17____ Listen freely, and you are sure to hear interesting things. Once a piece moves you, a simple online search will bring up more works by the same musician. There is no “right” or “wrong”. Just follow what sounds good to you. Try listening in different ways. Follow the melody (旋律) and notice how it changes, for melody is the heart of classical music. Pay attention to musical colours — musicians mix sounds the way painters mix colours. ____18____ Debussy’s “Clouds” moves slowly, while Haydn’s “The Rider” races with wild energy.

His wife Mary was lying in bed, her face white. She couldn’t talk much. The doctor said she needed a surgery (外科手术) to live. But the money — it was too much for them. Tom had worked all his life, but he just didn’t have that kind of money. He was so worried that he went out to the hospital garden to get some air. The wind was blowing. Leaves were everywhere. As he walked near a bench, his foot hit something. He looked down. A small black bag was sitting there, half covered by leaves. He looked around — nobody. So he picked it up. When he opened it, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Inside were thick stacks of money. Some old envelopes were tucked into (被塞进) the side pocket. On the front of one envelope, someone had written: “Dr. David Jackson, Internal Medicine (内科).” For a moment, Tom’s hand shook. This money could save Mary. He thought about her, lying there, waiting for help. But the envelope told him the money was not his — it was for someone else, someone who was probably also in trouble. He closed his eyes for a long time. Then he turned around and walked back into the hospital building. At the front desk, he put the bag down. “I found this in the garden,” he said. Then he left. That evening, Tom sat by Mary’s bed, holding her hand. She was asleep. Then he heard a knock at the door. A young man walked in, his coat wet from the rain. He held a small notebook. “Sorry to bother you, sir,” he said. “I’m a reporter from the city newspaper. Someone told me you returned a bag full of money today.” 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。 Para. 1: The reporter asked Tom why he returned the money. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: The next day, Tom’s story moved many readers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
