Therefore, U.S. News takes numerous factors into account, ranging from scenic attractions and dining options to travelers’ votes, to select and rank the nation’s top visiting spots. Grand Canyon National Park Grand Canyon National Park, a world-famous bucket-list destination, boasts splendid hiking trails and breathtaking views. The Colorado River flows through the massive canyon, creating perfect conditions for adventurous activities like whitewater rafting. A helicopter ride enables visitors to view this natural wonder from a unique angle, while vast rock formations will leave people impressed by the greatness of nature. Maui Maui wins travelers’ hearts with idyllic beaches and thick green landscapes. Visitors can enjoy coastal driving, snorkeling or relaxing on special black-sand beaches. Watching the sunrise at Haleakalā National Park is an extraordinary experience. Besides, tasting local seafood and typical Hawaiian desserts is also an essential part of the trip. Honolulu-Oahu Honolulu-Oahu offers a perfect mix of urban lifestyle and seaside scenery. Although Waikīkī Beach is extremely popular and always packed, some quieter beaches can serve as ideal choices for travelers longing for peace. Additionally, visitors can explore historic naval memorials to learn about local history before ending their journey. 1. Why does U.S. News rank the top U.S. attractions? A. To gather feedback on local food. B. To identify the best places to visit. C. To provide hotel booking guidance. D. To boost the local tourism economy. 2. What is highlighted about Grand Canyon National Park? A. Unmatched sunrise scenery. B. Unique black-sand landscapes. C. Valuable cultural and naval relics. D. Superb hikes and thrilling activities. 3. What do we know about Honolulu-Oahu? A. Urban life is largely absent in Honolulu. B. Naval memorials are the only highlight of Oahu. C. Tourists can enjoy scenery and cultural exploration. D. Oahu barely has access to peaceful seaside scenery. B Guangzhou — My grandmother’s universe was tiny — a little apartment floating above the noisy wet market, where the air always smelled of fish and fresh dough. I showed up just twice a year, like a guest who never really stayed. But every morning, without fail, I’d wake to the gentle tap-tap-tap of her spoon against that old pot. A quiet bowl of congee (白粥) would be waiting, steam rising like soft whispers in the hazy light. At thirteen, I treated my English like a superpower. But my broken Cantonese? It stumbled and cracked — each word feeling like I was letting part of her go. When she asked, “Did you sleep well?” I answered in English, “Yes, thanks.” She would smile, push the bowl closer and say, “Eat while it’s hot.” That one word hot was the only anchor I had in a language that felt like home — yet couldn’t fully hold me. Years rolled by. I won speech contests, obtained a British passport and began to call London “home”. The more I built myself there, the more I forgot her world behind me. When university acceptance came, I zipped my suitcase shut — my heart already flying over oceans. The night before I left, she slipped into my room and pressed a lunch box into my backpack. “For the journey,” she said in Cantonese. I nodded politely, giving a distracted smile, already miles away. It wasn’t until I was mid-air, floating between two worlds, that I opened it. Congee was cool but still sweet-smelling, and under the lid, were written four characters neatly: “归来平安”. I never saw her again. Today, whenever I smell rice boiling in my London kitchen, the market noise returns — the clatter of spoons, the crack of chopsticks, the woman who offered love without a shared language. My passport gives me borders; the congee erases them. I have learned that identity is not a label to choose, but a story to taste — one spoonful at a time. Even if it’s like a voice that says, “You’re from here, too.” 4. What first reminded the author of her grandmother each morning? A. The smell of fresh dough. B. The noise from the wet market. C. The whispers of her grandmother. D. The sound of her grandma’s spoon. 5. How did the writer feel about her Cantonese in her early teens? A. Ashamed and distant. B. Confident and proud. C. Ambitious and curious. D. Indifferent and bored. 6. What best describes Grandmother’s way of showing love? A. Giving expensive gifts. B. Teaching the author Chinese. C. Preparing simple but considerate food. D. Encouraging the author to study abroad. 7. What does the author’s story convey? A. Blood is thicker than water. B. East or west, home is best. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Nearly 30% of U. S. children have a diagnosed allergy (过敏), suffering from symptoms such as hives, sneezing, or even life-threatening anaphylaxis. Large studies have confirmed that introducing potential food allergens within the first year of life significantly minimizes the danger of developing allergies later. A decade ago, doctors recommended delaying common food allergens until after the first few years. This view changed in 2015 when the LEAP study provided strong evidence that introducing peanuts to infants (婴儿) around four months old can lower peanut allergy risk by up to 80%. Follow-up studies on eggs, cow’s milk, and multiple common allergens showed similar benefits. Today, experts strongly recommend early introduction. Priya Katari, a pediatric allergist, suggests introducing all common allergens — egg, milk, soy, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame — at four to six months of age, when the child can sit upright and swallow safely without choking. This recommendation applies to most children, including those with a family history of allergies. However, there are two exceptions: children with severe eczema should be tested for allergies before food introduction, and children with a known egg allergy should be tested especially before trying peanut butter. Otherwise, serious reactions after first exposure are rare in infants under one year, though possible. Parents can start with a tiny amount, such as a quarter-teaspoon of thinned peanut butter, monitor for ten minutes, and then offer a full serving of two teaspoons. Once introduced, the allergen must remain in the child’s diet regularly. Peanut currently has specific guidelines: two teaspoons three times a week. Experts agree that just a taste may not build tolerance; taking them at a regular basis is essential. Parents need not worry about exact amounts but should ensure a varied diet including fruits, vegetables, and protein. As Martha Hartz from Mayo Clinic advises, “Whenever you introduce solid food, go ahead and introduce whatever your family eats.” 8. What can be inferred about the LEAP study? A. It suggested delaying all allergens. B. It focused mainly on eggs and milk. C. It overturned previous medical advice. D. It was the first study on food allergies. 9. Which group needs allergy tests before food introduction? A. Children with family allergy history. B. Children already exposed to peanuts. C. Children who can sit upright and swallow. D. Children with severe eczema or egg allergy. 10. What do experts suggest about maintaining tolerance? A. Regular exposure is vital. B. Exact amounts matter most. C. A single taste is enough for life. D. Peanut butter should be avoided. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Infants should avoid peanuts until age three. B. Early introduction reduces the risks of allergies. C. Delaying allergens until after the first year is advised. D. Allergy tests are required for children before solid foods. D The Nobel Prize economist, Philip Agion offered us his unique insights into artificial intelligence (AI) in the book Creative Destruction. The rise of AI has given new meaning to the idea that capitalism renews itself through “creative destruction” — replacing outdated technologies with new ones, however cruel the process. Since the industrial age began in the mid-18th century, each wave of invention has followed this pattern. But now machines can think and learn, making potential economic disruption (扰乱) far greater than ever before. Ideally, policymakers would have time to ease the transition. Businesses tend to change their working practices relatively slowly, which gives governments space to adjust. However, current conditions are unfavorable. Global growth was weak and jobs were hard to find. The regional conflicts and wars have worsened matters. When this bad situation is combined with new labour-saving technology, it creates a dangerous mix that could destroy jobs rapidly on a large scale. AI optimists point to history: every past technological wave created more jobs than it destroyed. But two potential problems arise, the author notes. First, there is no guarantee that history will repeat itself — AI may prove more transformative and disruptive than ever before. Second, the jobs destroyed by AI might be better paid than those created. In the past, machines freed humans to do more creative tasks; this time, machines might do the clever work, leaving humans with boring and badly-paid jobs. A research report envisions an AI-driven crisis by 2028. Automation wipes out well-paid jobs, reducing consumer spending power. Still, machines can work 24 hours a day without holidays or sick days, but they do not buy cars or drinks. So while each company benefits from adopting AI, economy-wide demand drops. That causes cost-cutting, more automation, and fresh layoffs. This doom loop could eventually lead to a stock market crash. The countries quickest to embrace AI, such as the United States, would be most fragile. The author concludes that the outcome depends on whether AI helps humans do their jobs better or makes them abandoned. In the first case, optimists are right; in the second, they are totally wrong. 12. What does the author say about AI compared to past inventions? A. It follows exactly the same pattern. B. It causes less economic disruption. C. It has greater destructive potential. D. It has created more jobs than before. 13. Why does the author doubt the optimists’ historical argument? A. Wars always block progress. B. AI may be more transformative. C. Governments lack management skills. D. Past technologies were less advanced. 14. What does the underlined words “doom loop” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Rapid job creation. B. An error on AI system. C. Job loss and falling demand. D. A government rescue plan. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Past Inventions’ Job Creation B. The unavoidable AI Doom Loop C. Governments’ Easing of AI Transition D. AI’s more destructive Creative Destruction 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。 Daylight is exactly what our mind and body need to stay energetic and healthy, especially during cold and dark winter months.

He kept track of his assignments, turned in homework on time and rarely got into trouble. Teachers praised him for being reliable, and his classmates trusted him. That was why he felt confident when his history teacher announced a group research project that would last for several weeks. Without hesitation, Jordan volunteered to be the leader of his group, and certainly he could manage the task. At first, everything went smoothly. Jordan divided the work clearly and wrote down each person’s role. He promised to send reminders before deadlines and keep everyone updated if anything changed. His classmates seemed relieved to have someone organized in charge. Jordan noticed their reactions and felt quietly proud. Being trusted made him feel capable. One afternoon, however, things began to go wrong. Jordan received an email from his teacher with updated instructions for the project, including a change to the final deadline. He opened it on his phone while walking home. Several students passed by, talking about other assignments. Jordan read the message quickly, told himself he would deal with it later and put the phone into his pocket. After dinner that evening, Jordan first helped his younger sister with her homework. By the time he sat down at his desk, he had forgotten the email. The next day at school, his group met to discuss progress, still unaware of the new deadline. Jordan realized his mistake only when the teacher mentioned the updated date in class. It had been moved up by a week. His stomach tightened. He glanced at his group members, who exchanged confused looks. No one said anything, but Jordan sensed their concern. The responsibility he had once felt proud of now felt heavy. For the rest of the day, Jordan avoided his group members. He considered explaining that he had not seen the email at the next group meeting. After all, no one could prove he had. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 That night, Jordan could not focus on his studies. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, he received messages from the other group members. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年春季高二年级期末考试 英语 本试卷共10页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Therefore, U.S. News takes numerous factors into account, ranging from scenic attractions and dining options to travelers’ votes, to select and rank the nation’s top visiting spots.(从海岸线到繁华大都市，美国拥有数不胜数风格各异的目的地，很难评判哪些地方称得上美国最值得游览之地。因此《美国新闻》综合景点风光、餐饮选择、游客投票等诸多因素，筛选并排名本国顶级游览胜地。)”可知，《美国新闻》给美国热门景点排名是为了选出最适合游玩的地方。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Grand Canyon National Park中“Grand Canyon National Park, a world-famous bucket-list destination, boasts splendid hiking trails and breathtaking views. The Colorado River flows through the massive canyon, creating perfect conditions for adventurous activities like whitewater rafting.(大峡谷国家公园是全球闻名的必去景点，拥有绝佳徒步路线与震撼美景。科罗拉多河穿峡谷而过，为激流漂流等冒险活动创造了绝佳条件。)”可知，大峡谷重点介绍优质徒步路线与刺激的游玩项目。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Honolulu-Oahu中“Honolulu-Oahu offers a perfect mix of urban lifestyle and seaside scenery. Although Waikīkī Beach is extremely popular and always packed, some quieter beaches can serve as ideal choices for travelers longing for peace. Additionally, visitors can explore historic naval memorials to learn about local history before ending their journey.(檀香山（瓦胡岛）完美融合都市风情与滨海风光。威基基海滩人气爆棚、常年游人如织，但也有几处更为静谧的海滩，是向往安宁的游客的绝佳之选。除此之外，游客还可以参观历史悠久的海军纪念馆，了解当地历史，为旅途画上圆满句号。)”可知，游客既能欣赏风景，也能开展人文历史探索。 B Guangzhou — My grandmother’s universe was tiny — a little apartment floating above the noisy wet market, where the air always smelled of fish and fresh dough. I showed up just twice a year, like a guest who never really stayed. But every morning, without fail, I’d wake to the gentle tap-tap-tap of her spoon against that old pot. A quiet bowl of congee (白粥) would be waiting, steam rising like soft whispers in the hazy light. At thirteen, I treated my English like a superpower. But my broken Cantonese? It stumbled and cracked — each word feeling like I was letting part of her go. When she asked, “Did you sleep well?” I answered in English, “Yes, thanks.” She would smile, push the bowl closer and say, “Eat while it’s hot.” That one word hot was the only anchor I had in a language that felt like home — yet couldn’t fully hold me. Years rolled by. I won speech contests, obtained a British passport and began to call London “home”. The more I built myself there, the more I forgot her world behind me. When university acceptance came, I zipped my suitcase shut — my heart already flying over oceans. The night before I left, she slipped into my room and pressed a lunch box into my backpack. “For the journey,” she said in Cantonese. I nodded politely, giving a distracted smile, already miles away. It wasn’t until I was mid-air, floating between two worlds, that I opened it. Congee was cool but still sweet-smelling, and under the lid, were written four characters neatly: “归来平安”. I never saw her again. Today, whenever I smell rice boiling in my London kitchen, the market noise returns — the clatter of spoons, the crack of chopsticks, the woman who offered love without a shared language. My passport gives me borders; the congee erases them. I have learned that identity is not a label to choose, but a story to taste — one spoonful at a time. Even if it’s like a voice that says, “You’re from here, too.” 4. What first reminded the author of her grandmother each morning? A. The smell of fresh dough. B. The noise from the wet market. C. The whispers of her grandmother. D. The sound of her grandma’s spoon. 5. How did the writer feel about her Cantonese in her early teens? A. Ashamed and distant. B. Confident and proud. C. Ambitious and curious. D. Indifferent and bored. 6. What best describes Grandmother’s way of showing love? A. Giving expensive gifts. B. Teaching the author Chinese. C. Preparing simple but considerate food. D. Encouraging the author to study abroad. 7. What does the author’s story convey? A. Blood is thicker than water. B. East or west, home is best. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者儿时每年去广州外婆家，外婆日日煮白粥待她。作者远赴伦敦求学，临行收到外婆带平安寄语的粥，此后再未相见，一碗粥成为她割舍不断的故土亲情印记。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But every morning, without fail, I’d wake to the gentle tap-tap-tap of her spoon against that old pot.(但每天早晨，我都会在她用勺子轻敲那只旧锅的声音中醒来。)”可知，每天早上作者都是被外婆勺子敲锅的轻响唤醒，这是清晨最先让她联想到外婆的事物。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At thirteen, I treated my English like a superpower. But my broken Cantonese? It stumbled and cracked — each word feeling like I was letting part of her go. When she asked, “Did you sleep well?” I answered in English, “Yes, thanks.” She would smile, push the bowl closer and say, “Eat while it’s hot.” That one word hot was the only anchor I had in a language that felt like home — yet couldn’t fully hold me.(十三岁时，我把英语当成了超能力。可我的粤语却支离破碎，每说一个字都显得踉跄、碎裂——仿佛我正在将她的一部分悄悄放走。当她问我：“睡得好吗？”我用英语回答：“是的，谢谢。”她便微笑着把碗推近一点，说：“趁热吃吧。”“热”这个词，是我在这语言中唯一的依靠，它让我感觉像是回到了家，却又无法完全将我牢牢托住。)”可知，13岁时作者把英语当作超能力，而自己的粤语蹩脚生硬，说每个词都感觉自己在和外婆的世界渐行渐远；面对外婆的粤语提问她只能用英语回答，对自己的粤语能力感到窘迫，和外婆的语言世界有明显距离感。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“A quiet bowl of congee (白粥) would be waiting, steam rising like soft whispers in the hazy light.(一碗安静的粥在等着我，朦胧的光线中，蒸汽像轻柔的低语一样升起。)”和第三段中“The night before I left, she slipped into my room and pressed a lunch box into my backpack. “For the journey,” she said in Cantonese.(临行前的夜晚，她悄悄走进我的房间，把一个午餐盒塞进了我的背包里。“为了旅途，”她用粤语说道。)”可知，全文中外婆表达爱的方式都和食物相关：每天清晨准时熬好一碗白粥，作者出国前默默在她包里塞好装着粥的便当，还在盖子上写下祝福。这些都是朴素日常却处处贴心的饮食照料，用最简单的食物承载了深沉的爱意。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章核心在于：外婆与作者存在语言隔阂，从未用直白的话语诉说爱意，但日复一日熬粥、临行装粥写祝福的行动，却把爱意传递得真切深沉，最终让作者长久铭记，正对应“血浓于水”的内涵 。 C Nearly 30% of U. S. children have a diagnosed allergy (过敏), suffering from symptoms such as hives, sneezing, or even life-threatening anaphylaxis. Large studies have confirmed that introducing potential food allergens within the first year of life significantly minimizes the danger of developing allergies later. A decade ago, doctors recommended delaying common food allergens until after the first few years. This view changed in 2015 when the LEAP study provided strong evidence that introducing peanuts to infants (婴儿) around four months old can lower peanut allergy risk by up to 80%. Follow-up studies on eggs, cow’s milk, and multiple common allergens showed similar benefits. Today, experts strongly recommend early introduction. Priya Katari, a pediatric allergist, suggests introducing all common allergens — egg, milk, soy, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame — at four to six months of age, when the child can sit upright and swallow safely without choking. This recommendation applies to most children, including those with a family history of allergies. However, there are two exceptions: children with severe eczema should be tested for allergies before food introduction, and children with a known egg allergy should be tested especially before trying peanut butter. Otherwise, serious reactions after first exposure are rare in infants under one year, though possible. Parents can start with a tiny amount, such as a quarter-teaspoon of thinned peanut butter, monitor for ten minutes, and then offer a full serving of two teaspoons. Once introduced, the allergen must remain in the child’s diet regularly. Peanut currently has specific guidelines: two teaspoons three times a week. Experts agree that just a taste may not build tolerance; taking them at a regular basis is essential. Parents need not worry about exact amounts but should ensure a varied diet including fruits, vegetables, and protein. As Martha Hartz from Mayo Clinic advises, “Whenever you introduce solid food, go ahead and introduce whatever your family eats.” 8. What can be inferred about the LEAP study? A. It suggested delaying all allergens. B. It focused mainly on eggs and milk. C. It overturned previous medical advice. D. It was the first study on food allergies. 9. Which group needs allergy tests before food introduction? A. Children with family allergy history. B. Children already exposed to peanuts. C. Children who can sit upright and swallow. D. Children with severe eczema or egg allergy. 10. What do experts suggest about maintaining tolerance? A. Regular exposure is vital. B. Exact amounts matter most. C. A single taste is enough for life. D. Peanut butter should be avoided. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Infants should avoid peanuts until age three. B. Early introduction reduces the risks of allergies. C. Delaying allergens until after the first year is advised. D. Allergy tests are required for children before solid foods. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了研究证实婴儿一岁内尽早接触各类致敏食物可大幅降低过敏风险。文中介绍适用人群、特殊检测要求，强调持续定期摄入致敏食物才能建立耐受。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A decade ago, doctors recommended delaying common food allergens until after the first few years. This view changed in 2015 when the LEAP study provided strong evidence that introducing peanuts to infants (幼儿) around four months old can lower peanut allergy risk by up to 80%.(十年前，医生建议推迟常见食物过敏原的引入，等到孩子出生头几年过后再食用。但这一观点在2015年发生了改变，LEAP研究提供了有力证据：在婴儿约四个月大时开始接触花生，可使花生过敏风险降低高达80%)”可知，LEAP研究推翻了以往的医学建议。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, there are two exceptions: children with severe eczema should be tested for allergies before food introduction, and children with a known egg allergy should be tested especially before trying peanut butter.(不过，有两个例外情况：患有严重湿疹的儿童在引入食物前应进行过敏测试，而已知对鸡蛋过敏的儿童在尝试花生酱之前尤其需要先做过敏测试)”可知，严重湿疹或鸡蛋过敏的儿童在引入食物前需要进行过敏测试。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Once introduced, the allergen must remain in the child’s diet regularly. Peanut currently has specific guidelines: two teaspoons three times a week. Experts agree that just a taste may not build tolerance; taking them at a regular basis is essential.(一旦引入，过敏原必须持续定期出现在孩子的饮食中。目前对花生有具体建议：每周三次，每次两茶匙。专家一致认为，仅靠一次尝试可能无法建立耐受性，坚持规律摄入)”可知，专家们建议定期暴露维持耐受性至关重要。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nearly 30% of U. S. children have a diagnosed allergy (过敏), suffering from symptoms such as hives, sneezing, or even life-threatening anaphylaxis. Large studies have confirmed that introducing potential food allergens within the first year of life significantly minimizes the danger of developing allergies later.(近30%的美国儿童被诊断出患有过敏，出现荨麻疹、打喷嚏甚至危及生命的过敏性休克等症状。大量研究证实，在出生后的第一年内接触潜在的食物过敏原，能显著降低日后患过敏的风险)”结合文章主要说明了研究证实婴儿一岁内尽早接触各类致敏食物可大幅降低过敏风险，强调持续定期摄入致敏食物才能建立耐受可知，文章主旨是早期引入可降低过敏风险。 D The Nobel Prize economist, Philip Agion offered us his unique insights into artificial intelligence (AI) in the book Creative Destruction. The rise of AI has given new meaning to the idea that capitalism renews itself through “creative destruction” — replacing outdated technologies with new ones, however cruel the process. Since the industrial age began in the mid-18th century, each wave of invention has followed this pattern. But now machines can think and learn, making potential economic disruption (扰乱) far greater than ever before. Ideally, policymakers would have time to ease the transition. Businesses tend to change their working practices relatively slowly, which gives governments space to adjust. However, current conditions are unfavorable. Global growth was weak and jobs were hard to find. The regional conflicts and wars have worsened matters. When this bad situation is combined with new labour-saving technology, it creates a dangerous mix that could destroy jobs rapidly on a large scale. AI optimists point to history: every past technological wave created more jobs than it destroyed. But two potential problems arise, the author notes. First, there is no guarantee that history will repeat itself — AI may prove more transformative and disruptive than ever before. Second, the jobs destroyed by AI might be better paid than those created. In the past, machines freed humans to do more creative tasks; this time, machines might do the clever work, leaving humans with boring and badly-paid jobs. A research report envisions an AI-driven crisis by 2028. Automation wipes out well-paid jobs, reducing consumer spending power. Still, machines can work 24 hours a day without holidays or sick days, but they do not buy cars or drinks. So while each company benefits from adopting AI, economy-wide demand drops. That causes cost-cutting, more automation, and fresh layoffs. This doom loop could eventually lead to a stock market crash. The countries quickest to embrace AI, such as the United States, would be most fragile. The author concludes that the outcome depends on whether AI helps humans do their jobs better or makes them abandoned. In the first case, optimists are right; in the second, they are totally wrong. 12. What does the author say about AI compared to past inventions? A. It follows exactly the same pattern. B. It causes less economic disruption. C. It has greater destructive potential. D. It has created more jobs than before. 13. Why does the author doubt the optimists’ historical argument? A. Wars always block progress. B. AI may be more transformative. C. Governments lack management skills. D. Past technologies were less advanced. 14. What does the underlined words “doom loop” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Rapid job creation. B. An error on AI system. C. Job loss and falling demand. D. A government rescue plan. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Past Inventions’ Job Creation B. The unavoidable AI Doom Loop C. Governments’ Easing of AI Transition D. AI’s more destructive Creative Destruction 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了经济学家阿吉翁指出AI带来更强的创造性破坏。当下经济环境加剧就业冲击，AI或取代高薪脑力工作，形成需求下滑、持续裁员的恶性循环，最终结局取决于AI如何服务人类。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But now machines can think and learn, making potential economic disruption (扰乱) far greater than ever before.(但现在机器能够思考和学习，这可能带来的经济冲击远比以往任何时候都更大)”可知，和过去的发明相比，AI拥有更大的潜在破坏性。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“First, there is no guarantee that history will repeat itself — AI may prove more transformative and disruptive than ever before.(首先，无法保证历史会重演——人工智能可能比以往任何时候都更具变革性和破坏性)”可知，作者怀疑乐观派的历史论点因为人工智能可能更具变革性。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“A research report envisions an AI-driven crisis by 2028. Automation wipes out well-paid jobs, reducing consumer spending power. Still, machines can work 24 hours a day without holidays or sick days, but they do not buy cars or drinks. So while each company benefits from adopting AI, economy-wide demand drops. That causes cost-cutting, more automation, and fresh layoffs.(一份研究报告预测，到2028年将出现由人工智能引发的危机。自动化会取代高薪工作，削弱消费者的购买力。此外机器可以全天24小时不间断运转，无需休假或请病假，但它们不会购买汽车或饮料。因此，虽然每家公司都从采用人工智能中获益，但整体经济需求却下降，导致成本削减、进一步自动化以及新一轮裁员)”可知，自动化高薪岗位消失、消费需求下滑，进而裁员、更多自动化的恶性循环。故划线词意思是“失业和需求下降”。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读五安稳，并结合第一段“The Nobel Prize economist, Philip Agion offered us his unique insights into artificial intelligence (AI) in the book Creative Destruction.(诺贝尔经济学奖得主菲利普·阿吉翁在《创造性破坏》一书中为我们提供了关于人工智能（AI）的独特见解)”可知，文章主要说明经济学家阿吉翁指出AI带来更强的创造性破坏。当下经济环境加剧就业冲击，AI或取代高薪脑力工作，形成需求下滑、持续裁员的恶性循环，最终结局取决于AI如何服务人类。D选项“人工智能更具破坏性的创造性毁灭”最符合文章标题。 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。 Daylight is exactly what our mind and body need to stay energetic and healthy, especially during cold and dark winter months. Most people tend to pick up their phones the moment they wake up, which is actually an unhealthy habit. We are supposed to start our day with plenty of natural light. ____16____ Natural light sends clear signals to our brains and helps regulate our circadian rhythm. Gentle morning light encourages the production of melatonin, a key hormone that guarantees good sleep quality at night. It also helps reduce nighttime blood pressure and allows us to enjoy deep and relaxing sleep. ____17____ Related studies have proven that only after being exposed to enough natural light are people more energetic and less troubled by sleeping problems. Modern lifestyle keeps us indoors for most of the time, resulting in a serious lack of sunlight. ____18____ Besides, more sunlight means more vitamin D for us, which helps us ease depression and anxiety. Even on cloudy days, we should also let sunlight reach us. ____19____ Checking phones right after waking up may cause stress and negative thoughts, while waking up slowly with soft natural light is the complete opposite, which helps relax our brain, develop creativity and restore energy. As the saying goes, “A day begins with morning.” ____20____ A. Our waking style greatly influences daily feelings. B. Phone screens provide people with warm light every morning. C. Thus, natural light cannot easily be replaced by man-made light. D. Winter weather stops people from going out and enjoying nature. E. Outdoor natural scenery and sunlight are helpful to reduce stress. F. Slow sunrise light can create a comfortable start to the day for us. G. Or rather, we are supposed to open curtains and spend more time outdoors. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了自然光调节人体生物钟、改善睡眠、补充维生素D并舒缓情绪。醒后立刻看手机有害，应多接触晨光，好的晨起方式能放松大脑、恢复精力。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Daylight is exactly what our mind and body need to stay energetic and healthy, especially during cold and dark winter months. Most people tend to pick up their phones the moment they wake up, which is actually an unhealthy habit. We are supposed to start our day with plenty of natural light.(充足的阳光正是我们身心保持活力和健康所必需的，尤其是在寒冷而阴暗的冬季。大多数人起床后都会立即拿起手机，这种习惯实际上并不健康。我们本应以充足的自然光开启新的一天)”可知，第一段提出“应该以充足自然光开启一天”的观点，G选项“或者说，我们本该打开窗帘，多花些时间在户外”进一步说明具体做法，顺承文意。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Natural light sends clear signals to our brains and helps regulate our circadian rhythm. Gentle morning light encourages the production of melatonin, a key hormone that guarantees good sleep quality at night. It also helps reduce nighttime blood pressure and allows us to enjoy deep and relaxing sleep.(自然光向我们的大脑发出清晰的信号，有助于调节我们的昼夜节律。柔和的晨光能促进褪黑激素的分泌，这种关键激素可确保夜间睡眠质量良好。此外，它还有助于降低夜间血压，让我们享受深度而放松的睡眠)”以及后文“Related studies have proven that only after being exposed to enough natural light are people more energetic and less troubled by sleeping problems.(相关研究表明，只有在接触足够自然光之后，人们才会更加精力充沛，并且睡眠问题也更少)”可知，第二段介绍了自然光对睡眠、生物钟的诸多好处，后文给出研究佐证自然光的优势，C选项“因此自然光难以被人造光替代”进一步强调自然光的无法替代性，符合逻辑。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Modern lifestyle keeps us indoors for most of the time, resulting in a serious lack of sunlight.(现代生活方式让我们大部分时间待在室内，导致阳光严重不足)”以及后文“Besides, more sunlight means more vitamin D for us, which helps us ease depression and anxiety. Even on cloudy days, we should also let sunlight reach us.(此外，充足的阳光有助于我们获得更多的维生素D，从而缓解抑郁和焦虑情绪。即使在阴天，我们也应让阳光照射到身上)”可知，第三段提到“缺阳光”的问题，后文补充说明阳光能帮人缓解抑郁焦虑，E选项“户外自然风景和阳光有助于减压”和后文益处表述并列，衔接自然。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Checking phones right after waking up may cause stress and negative thoughts, while waking up slowly with soft natural light is the complete opposite, which helps relax our brain, develop creativity and restore energy. (醒来后立即查看手机可能会引发压力和负面想法，而缓慢地在柔和的自然光中醒来则恰恰相反，有助于放松大脑、激发创造力并恢复精力)”可知，第四段对比了“醒后刷手机”和“醒后接触自然光”两种行为的不同影响，A选项“醒来的方式极大影响日常状态”作为总起句，统领下文，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据上文“As the saying goes, “A day begins with morning.”(俗话说：“一天之计在于晨。”)”可知，末尾引用谚语“一天之计在于晨”，F选项“舒缓的晨光能为我们创造舒适的一天开端”收尾点题，衔接恰当。 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。 The couple, Nathan and Kim Maker, were on a scuba diving (水肺潜水) trip off the Texas coast.

He kept track of his assignments, turned in homework on time and rarely got into trouble. Teachers praised him for being reliable, and his classmates trusted him. That was why he felt confident when his history teacher announced a group research project that would last for several weeks. Without hesitation, Jordan volunteered to be the leader of his group, and certainly he could manage the task. At first, everything went smoothly. Jordan divided the work clearly and wrote down each person’s role. He promised to send reminders before deadlines and keep everyone updated if anything changed. His classmates seemed relieved to have someone organized in charge. Jordan noticed their reactions and felt quietly proud. Being trusted made him feel capable. One afternoon, however, things began to go wrong. Jordan received an email from his teacher with updated instructions for the project, including a change to the final deadline. He opened it on his phone while walking home. Several students passed by, talking about other assignments. Jordan read the message quickly, told himself he would deal with it later and put the phone into his pocket. After dinner that evening, Jordan first helped his younger sister with her homework. By the time he sat down at his desk, he had forgotten the email. The next day at school, his group met to discuss progress, still unaware of the new deadline. Jordan realized his mistake only when the teacher mentioned the updated date in class. It had been moved up by a week. His stomach tightened. He glanced at his group members, who exchanged confused looks. No one said anything, but Jordan sensed their concern. The responsibility he had once felt proud of now felt heavy. For the rest of the day, Jordan avoided his group members. He considered explaining that he had not seen the email at the next group meeting. After all, no one could prove he had. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 That night, Jordan could not focus on his studies. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, he received messages from the other group members. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】That night, Jordan could not focus on his studies. The guilt of hiding his mistake weighed heavily on his heart. As a responsible group leader, he had failed to inform his teammates of the new deadline, putting the whole project at risk. He knew making up an excuse would save him from blame but ruin the trust his classmates had placed in him. After struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind to take responsibility for his carelessness and apologize sincerely to his group members. Soon, he received messages from the other group members. To his surprise, instead of complaining, they showed understanding and chose to forgive him. Everyone promised to spare extra time to speed up their work and cooperate closely to finish the project ahead of the new deadline. Moved and encouraged, Jordan felt relieved. He organized a reasonable new schedule immediately. From this lesson, Jordan learned that true responsibility means facing mistakes bravely rather than escaping from them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了一向靠谱的乔丹主动担任历史课题小组组长，起初分工有序。他偶然看到老师通知截止日期提前的邮件，事后却彻底遗忘，耽误了组员。内心煎熬的他没有选择撒谎，主动坦诚认错。同学们十分包容，愿意挤出时间赶进度。乔丹重新规划任务，也领悟到真正的担当是直面过错，而非逃避。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写内心煎熬的他没有选择撒谎，主动坦诚认错。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写同学们十分包容，愿意挤出时间赶进度。乔丹重新规划任务，也领悟到真正的担当是直面过错，而非逃避。 2.续写线索：乔丹无法专心学习→内疚感压得他心力交瘁→主动坦诚认错→同学们十分包容→愿意挤出时间赶进度→乔丹重新规划任务 3.词汇激活 行为类 毁掉：ruin/destroy 合作：cooperate /collaborate 明白：learn /be aware of 情绪类 惊讶：surprise/astonishment 真诚地：sincerely/honestly 【点睛】[高分句型1].
