Located near Lake Michigan, Lakeside Stadium has become a popular place for football games, concerts and international events since its reopening in 2021. Lakeside Stadium is the home field of the Chicago Wolves football team. It also hosts college games, music festivals and community sports programs. If you plan to attend an event there, the following information may help. Parking Parking spaces around the stadium are limited on event days. Visitors are encouraged to buy parking passes in advance through the stadium’s website or the ParkGo app. This can help them avoid higher prices at the gate and save time when entering the parking areas. For football games, parking lots usually open four hours before kickoff. For concerts and community events, they open two hours before the start time. Parking costs between $40 and $85. The North Lot is closest to Gate A, while the South Lot is better for visitors sitting near Gates C and D. Tailgating (赛前车尾聚会) is allowed only in the Blue and Green Lots. Overnight parking is not allowed. Transportation Visitors who do not want to drive can take Metro Line 3 to Lakeside Station, about a six-minute walk from Gate B. On major event days, free shuttle buses run between the station and the stadium every 12 minutes. City Bus 16 stops near Gate D. Rideshare and taxi services use a separate pick-up and drop-off area on Harbor Street, about five minutes from Gate C. Hotels Lakeview Hotel is across the street from Gate A and is best for visitors who want the shortest walk. Central Garden Inn is about two miles away and usually offers lower prices.

B In a stunning upset that has sent shockwaves through the world of motorcycle racing, French rider Valentin Debise clinched (赢得) a commanding victory for Chinese manufacturer ZX Moto at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) Supersport round held in Portugal last Saturday. Riding the brand-new 820RR-RS model developed independently by ZX Moto, Debise reached the finish line nearly four seconds ahead of all other competitors. Famous traditional racing powerhouses including Ducati, Yamaha and Kawasaki all fell behind. This remarkable achievement is a historic breakthrough, as ZX Moto has become the first Chinese motorcycle brand to claim a championship title in the world-famous WorldSBK competition. Watching the race live in Chongqing, Zhang Xue, founder of ZX Moto, shared a heartfelt post on social media, summarizing his long and tough journey: “When you stick to a career out of genuine passion rather than just chasing success, you will eventually get unexpected rewards.” The glorious victory is never accidental. It is built on Zhang Xue’s years of perseverance. The 39-year-old entrepreneur was born in the remote and impoverished mountainous area of Huaihua, Hunan Province. His life took a big turn in 2006. At the age of 19, he took the initiative to contact a local TV station, saying he was skilled at motorcycle stunts (摩托车特技) and hoped to be recorded. The TV crew gave up and left after watching him fall down many times. Determined not to lose this rare chance, Zhang rode over 100 kilometers in the heavy rain to catch up with the team. His sincere efforts touched the staff, who finally agreed to offer him one hour of airtime. Thanks to this short program, he signed a contract with a professional racing team and stepped into the racing circle officially. However, constant sports injuries and tight budgets made him realize that he would never become a top professional racer. He then made a career change. In 2013, he came to Chongqing with only a small amount of savings. He sold refitted motorcycles (改装摩托车) online to accumulate startup funds. Four years later, he co-founded Kove Moto. Under his efforts, the brand’s annual sales grew from 800 units to 30,000 units. After leaving Kove Moto, Zhang set up ZX Moto in Chongqing in April 2024, devoting himself fully to this new career. 4. What made ZX Moto’s victory in Portugal especially remarkable? A. It marked Debise’s first appearance in WSBK Championship. B. It proved the 820RR-RS was used by most riders in the race. C. It showed that a Chinese brand could beat established racing powers. D. It helped ZX Moto replace Ducati and Yamaha in WSBK Championship. 5. How did Zhang Xue get his first real chance to enter the racing world? A. He won the TV crew over through persistence. B. He gained notice after a difficult stunt show. C. He got help from a local team after the program. D. He used online sales to fund his racing career. 6. What can be inferred from Zhang Xue’s career path? A. Media attention ensured his later success. B. Racing setbacks destroyed his motorcycle dream. C. Kove Moto made his business success effortless. D. His racing past helped shape his business vision. 7. Which of the following best describes Zhang Xue? A. Talented and easy-going. B. Sensitive and reserved. C. Determined and forward-looking. D. Ambitious and humble. C Scientists at MIT have published a study suggesting that rice seeds can sense the sound of raindrops hitting water. The researchers believe that the seeds use this information to help them “decide” when to sprout (发芽). The researchers wanted to make sure that the seeds were responding to the sound of rain rather than to rainwater itself. Therefore, they focused on rice seeds, which are usually grown in water, so that all the seeds would be equally wet. For the experiment, they placed thousands of rice seeds in shallow pools of water, where all the seeds had enough water to sprout. Some pools were kept completely quiet, while others were hit with falling drops of water to imitate light, medium, or heavy rain. On average, the seeds exposed to the artificial raindrops sprouted about 30-40% faster than those kept in quiet pools. The scientists believe that this faster sprouting might give the seeds a better chance of surviving. Dr. Nicholas Makris, who led the study, says, “The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.” Although it may seem strange to think of seeds as “hearing,” sound is simply a form of vibration (振动). The researchers believe that the seeds respond to vibrations in the water caused by falling raindrops, which are much stronger underwater than in the air. Inside the seed cells are tiny, heavy grains called “statoliths.” Like snow in a snow globe, these grains help seeds determine which way is down, allowing their roots to grow into the soil and their shoots to grow toward the light. When the vibrations from the water drops reached the seeds, these statoliths shook around inside the seed cells. The scientists think this may have triggered the seeds to sprout earlier. The researchers believe that sensing the sound of rain may help seeds determine whether they are in a suitable place to grow. Seeds that can detect rain vibrations are probably close enough to the surface to receive moisture (水分) and grow toward the light. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By presenting a personal story. B. By comparing different viewpoints. C. By referring to a scientific study. D. By raising a practical question. 9. What did the experiment find about the seeds exposed to the fake raindrops? A. They sprouted faster indoors than they would have in natural rain. B. They showed a clear sprouting advantage over those in silent water. C. They required more water to achieve the same sprouting speed. D. They only sprouted faster when the rain was heavy enough. 10. What does the underlined word “triggered” mean? A. Relieved. B. Activated. C. Liberated. D. Motivated. 11. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Rice Seeds Sense the Sound of Rain. B. Rice Seeds Grow Faster in Quiet Pools. C. Scientists Discover How Statoliths Work. D. Growing Rice Requires Artificial Raindrops. D In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before? Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution. In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also lead to overpopulation and worsen laborers’ conditions. England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs. The history repeats itself today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all. 12. Which question can paragraph 2 answer? A. How might AI reshape the job market? B. Why has technology replaced human work? C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution? D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers? 13. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude? A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The indifference of the government. C. The appearance of spinning and weaving. D. The suffering of workers and the society. 14. What message does the text intend to convey? A. Every step forward is progress. B. History is where you find the future. C. Technology makes the complex simple. D. With great power comes great responsibility. 15. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI. C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology. 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项。 Finding Your Own Pace in a High-Speed High School Walking through the hallways, it is easy to feel like you are falling behind. You see classmates finishing advanced math while you struggle with the basics, or hear friends discussing weekend internships while you just want to sleep.

My commute involves taking two trains — I transfer (换乘) at a station, switching from the subway to a country train. The station I transfer to is in a really rough area, where cracked concrete walls are covered with graffiti, and the smell of cigarettes hangs in the air — even the staff here look permanently tired. It was the day before payday, and I’d just come off a night shift. My eyes burned with tiredness as I dragged my feet toward the station. I thought I had enough money on my travel card, but I didn’t. At first, I thought it was a problem with my card, so I approached a staff member. From the name tag on her chest, I knew her name was Lucy. “Excuse me,” I said, my voice rough from the night shift, “I think my card might not be working.” She looked up from her paperwork, her tired eyes softening as she noticed my messy appearance. “Let me check that for you,” Lucy said. Later, Lucy’s eyebrows drew together in concern as she studied the screen. “You’re all out of money on your card.” She printed a receipt showing my top-up history (充值记录), usage records, and the balance. Sure enough, the balance read zero. This brought me to the edge of tears, as it meant being stuck in the rough area for over twelve hours until my paycheck arrived. “I... I see,” I managed to say. I explained helplessly that I wouldn’t be paid until the next day and needed to get home to town. I spoke quickly and awkwardly, my words all mixed up. Lucy leaned slightly over the counter, and listened to me carefully, like a mother bird observing a fallen chick. I really wanted to borrow money from her, but I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn’t know her at all. I guessed she wouldn’t trust a stranger easily — maybe she would even laugh at me. How disappointed I felt! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Surprisingly, Lucy reached into her own pocket and handed me her staff card. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I brought homemade cookies to Lucy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第二学期高二期末测试 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2．选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清晰。 3．请按题号顺序在各题答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 4．保持答题卡卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 5．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Riding the brand-new 820RR-RS model developed independently by ZX Moto, Debise reached the finish line nearly four seconds ahead of all other competitors. Famous traditional racing powerhouses including Ducati, Yamaha and Kawasaki all fell behind. This remarkable achievement is a historic breakthrough, as ZX Moto has become the first Chinese motorcycle brand to claim a championship title in the world-famous WorldSBK competition. Watching the race live in Chongqing, Zhang Xue, founder of ZX Moto, shared a heartfelt post on social media, summarizing his long and tough journey: “When you stick to a career out of genuine passion rather than just chasing success, you will eventually get unexpected rewards.” The glorious victory is never accidental. It is built on Zhang Xue’s years of perseverance. The 39-year-old entrepreneur was born in the remote and impoverished mountainous area of Huaihua, Hunan Province. His life took a big turn in 2006. At the age of 19, he took the initiative to contact a local TV station, saying he was skilled at motorcycle stunts (摩托车特技) and hoped to be recorded. The TV crew gave up and left after watching him fall down many times. Determined not to lose this rare chance, Zhang rode over 100 kilometers in the heavy rain to catch up with the team. His sincere efforts touched the staff, who finally agreed to offer him one hour of airtime. Thanks to this short program, he signed a contract with a professional racing team and stepped into the racing circle officially. However, constant sports injuries and tight budgets made him realize that he would never become a top professional racer. He then made a career change. In 2013, he came to Chongqing with only a small amount of savings. He sold refitted motorcycles (改装摩托车) online to accumulate startup funds. Four years later, he co-founded Kove Moto. Under his efforts, the brand’s annual sales grew from 800 units to 30,000 units. After leaving Kove Moto, Zhang set up ZX Moto in Chongqing in April 2024, devoting himself fully to this new career. 4. What made ZX Moto’s victory in Portugal especially remarkable? A. It marked Debise’s first appearance in WSBK Championship. B. It proved the 820RR-RS was used by most riders in the race. C. It showed that a Chinese brand could beat established racing powers. D. It helped ZX Moto replace Ducati and Yamaha in WSBK Championship. 5. How did Zhang Xue get his first real chance to enter the racing world? A. He won the TV crew over through persistence. B. He gained notice after a difficult stunt show. C. He got help from a local team after the program. D. He used online sales to fund his racing career. 6. What can be inferred from Zhang Xue’s career path? A. Media attention ensured his later success. B. Racing setbacks destroyed his motorcycle dream. C. Kove Moto made his business success effortless. D. His racing past helped shape his business vision. 7. Which of the following best describes Zhang Xue? A. Talented and easy-going. B. Sensitive and reserved. C. Determined and forward-looking. D. Ambitious and humble. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述中国摩托品牌ZX Moto夺得世界超级摩托车锦标赛冠军及其创始人张雪的奋斗历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Famous traditional racing powerhouses including Ducati, Yamaha and Kawasaki all fell behind. This remarkable achievement is a historic breakthrough, as ZX Moto has become the first Chinese motorcycle brand to claim a championship title in the world-famous WorldSBK competition.(杜卡迪、雅马哈、川崎等传统知名赛车品牌全部落后。这项亮眼成就是历史性突破，ZX Moto成为首个在知名世界超级摩托车锦标赛夺冠的中国摩托品牌)”可知，这场胜利的特殊之处在于中国品牌击败老牌赛车强队。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The TV crew gave up and left after watching him fall down many times. Determined not to lose this rare chance, Zhang rode over 100 kilometers in the heavy rain to catch up with the team. His sincere efforts touched the staff, who finally agreed to offer him one hour of airtime.(摄制组看他多次摔倒后放弃离开。张雪不愿错失良机，冒雨骑行一百多公里追上摄制团队。他的执着打动工作人员，对方最终同意给他一小时播出时长)”可知，他依靠坚持不懈打动摄制组，获得踏入赛车圈的机会。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, constant sports injuries and tight budgets made him realize that he would never become a top professional racer.

After leaving Kove Moto, Zhang set up ZX Moto in Chongqing in April 2024, devoting himself fully to this new career.(但接连不断的运动伤病，再加上预算有限，让他意识到自己永远无法成为顶尖职业赛车手，于是他选择转行。2013年，他只带着少量积蓄来到重庆，靠在网上售卖改装摩托车积攒创业资金。四年后，他联合创立凯越摩托。在他的努力下，该品牌年销量从800台增长至3万台。离开凯越摩托后，张于2024年4月在重庆创立 ZX 摩托，全身心投入这份全新事业)”可推断，早年的赛车经历让他认清自身局限，进而转型创业，赛车经历塑造了他的商业格局。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The TV crew gave up and left after watching him fall down many times. Determined not to lose this rare chance, Zhang rode over 100 kilometers in the heavy rain to catch up with the team.(摄制组看他多次摔倒后便放弃拍摄、转身离去。但张不愿错失这次难得的机会，冒着大雨骑行一百多公里追上了摄制团队)”可知，体现了他的决心，不轻易放弃追求自己的目标。根据第四段“However, constant sports injuries and tight budgets made him realize that he would never become a top professional racer. He then made a career change.(但频发的运动伤病加上拮据的资金状况，让他认清自己难以成为顶尖职业赛车手，于是他选择转行)”可知，及时从车手转型经商、打造国产赛车品牌冲击国际赛事，体现他富有远见。 C Scientists at MIT have published a study suggesting that rice seeds can sense the sound of raindrops hitting water. The researchers believe that the seeds use this information to help them “decide” when to sprout (发芽). The researchers wanted to make sure that the seeds were responding to the sound of rain rather than to rainwater itself. Therefore, they focused on rice seeds, which are usually grown in water, so that all the seeds would be equally wet. For the experiment, they placed thousands of rice seeds in shallow pools of water, where all the seeds had enough water to sprout. Some pools were kept completely quiet, while others were hit with falling drops of water to imitate light, medium, or heavy rain. On average, the seeds exposed to the artificial raindrops sprouted about 30-40% faster than those kept in quiet pools. The scientists believe that this faster sprouting might give the seeds a better chance of surviving. Dr. Nicholas Makris, who led the study, says, “The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.” Although it may seem strange to think of seeds as “hearing,” sound is simply a form of vibration (振动). The researchers believe that the seeds respond to vibrations in the water caused by falling raindrops, which are much stronger underwater than in the air. Inside the seed cells are tiny, heavy grains called “statoliths.” Like snow in a snow globe, these grains help seeds determine which way is down, allowing their roots to grow into the soil and their shoots to grow toward the light. When the vibrations from the water drops reached the seeds, these statoliths shook around inside the seed cells. The scientists think this may have triggered the seeds to sprout earlier. The researchers believe that sensing the sound of rain may help seeds determine whether they are in a suitable place to grow. Seeds that can detect rain vibrations are probably close enough to the surface to receive moisture (水分) and grow toward the light. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By presenting a personal story. B. By comparing different viewpoints. C. By referring to a scientific study. D. By raising a practical question. 9. What did the experiment find about the seeds exposed to the fake raindrops? A. They sprouted faster indoors than they would have in natural rain. B. They showed a clear sprouting advantage over those in silent water. C. They required more water to achieve the same sprouting speed. D. They only sprouted faster when the rain was heavy enough. 10. What does the underlined word “triggered” mean? A. Relieved. B. Activated. C. Liberated. D. Motivated. 11. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Rice Seeds Sense the Sound of Rain. B. Rice Seeds Grow Faster in Quiet Pools. C. Scientists Discover How Statoliths Work. D. Growing Rice Requires Artificial Raindrops. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了麻省理工学院的一项研究，介绍了水稻种子可以感知雨声、相关实验过程、实验结论以及种子感知雨声发芽的原理和生存意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists at MIT have published a study suggesting that rice seeds can sense the sound of raindrops hitting water.(麻省理工学院的科学家发表了一项研究，该研究表明水稻种子可以感知雨滴击打水面的声音)”可知，作者通过引用一项科学研究引出文章主题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On average, the seeds exposed to the artificial raindrops sprouted about 30-40% faster than those kept in quiet pools.(平均而言，接触人造雨滴的种子比放置在静止水池中的种子发芽速度快30%至40%)”可知，接受人造雨滴刺激的种子，相比静水中的种子拥有明显的发芽优势。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“When the vibrations from the water drops reached the seeds, these statoliths shook around inside the seed cells. The scientists think this may have triggered the seeds to sprout earlier.(当水滴的振动传到种子时，这些平衡石会在种子细胞内晃动。科学家认为这可能triggered种子提前发芽)”可知，水滴的振动触发了种子，使其提前发芽，triggered 在此处意为“激活、触发”，与 Activated 词义一致。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“Scientists at MIT have published a study suggesting that rice seeds can sense the sound of raindrops hitting water.(麻省理工学院的科学家发表了一项研究，该研究表明水稻种子可以感知雨滴击打水面的声音)”可知，全文围绕水稻种子可感知雨声这一核心内容展开。A选项“水稻种子感知雨声”精准概括文章主旨，适合用作最佳标题。 D In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before? Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution. In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also lead to overpopulation and worsen laborers’ conditions. England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs. The history repeats itself today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all. 12. Which question can paragraph 2 answer? A. How might AI reshape the job market? B. Why has technology replaced human work? C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution? D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers? 13. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude? A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The indifference of the government. C. The appearance of spinning and weaving. D. The suffering of workers and the society. 14. What message does the text intend to convey? A. Every step forward is progress. B. History is where you find the future. C. Technology makes the complex simple. D. With great power comes great responsibility. 15. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI. C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文结合工业革命历史及Ricardo的观点，探讨AI对职场的影响，指出需借助合理政策引导AI，避免重蹈历史覆辙。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly.(与过去改变世界的工具如机械织布机一样，人工智能也将极大地重塑职场。)”可知，第二段回答了人工智能将如何重塑就业市场这个问题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view.(失去生计的织布工人无路可走，工厂几乎没有创造出新岗位，这就造成工人薪资下降、社会动荡。目睹了这一系列后果后，Ricardo改变了自己的看法。)”可知，工人与社会遭受的苦难让Ricardo改变了态度。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The history repeats itself today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.”(历史正在今天重演。约翰逊指出，随着人工智能时代来临，AI 吸引了大量人才，这一点和上世纪 90 年代末互联网热潮十分相似。但历史 —— 尤其是工业革命的经历告诉我们：“全新的神奇机器，并不能保证大多数人都能从中获益。”)”可知，这篇文章想传达的信息是我们能从历史中找到应对未来的启示。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all.(通过审慎的政策，人工智能可以避免重蹈覆辙，共同构建包容的未来。当技术以智慧和责任为导向时，它就能成为强大的工具，帮助人们提升福祉，缩小不平等，并为所有人创造更多机遇。)”可知，下文最可能谈论引导人工智能发展的具体政策案例。 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项。 Finding Your Own Pace in a High-Speed High School Walking through the hallways, it is easy to feel like you are falling behind. You see classmates finishing advanced math while you struggle with the basics, or hear friends discussing weekend internships while you just want to sleep.

To transform 38. which 39. are committed 40. favorable 41. increasingly 42. that 43. as 44. have been taken 45. guidance 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了宣城山区通过发展乡村生态旅游实现经济发展的情况。讲述了当地的自然景观吸引游客，政府为打造旅游胜地所做的努力，包括升级基础设施、平衡保护与发展，以及相关政策带动传统文化保护和旅游发展，其成功经验对全国乡村发展具有指导意义。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：令人叹为观止的风景，以蜿蜒的河流和古老的茶园为特色，吸引了越来越多的城市游客，他们想从城市生活中短暂逃离。本句已有谓语动词have attracted，此处应用非谓语动词，landscapes与feature之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词featuring作后置定语，修饰landscapes，表示“以……为特色”。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了将该地区转变为一个首要的旅游目的地，当地政府在升级基础设施方面付出了巨大努力。此处用动词不定式作目的状语，表示目的是将该地区转变为旅游目的地，句首单词首字母大写。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：一条新建的生态公路极大地促进了当地经济发展，游客可以在这条公路上欣赏自然风景。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是A newly built ecological highway，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which。 【39题详解】 考查固定短语及时态。句意：规划者致力于在保护和发展之间达成微妙的平衡，而不是以牺牲环境为代价追求短期利益。be committed to是固定短语，意为“致力于”，此处描述的是现在的情况，应用一般现在时，主语planners是复数，所以be动词用are。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：随着有利政策的实施，许多老房子被改建成了当地的民宿。此处修饰名词policies，应用形容词favorable，意为“有利的”。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：受到这些项目显著成功的鼓舞，当地居民现在越来越多地参与到传统文化的保护中。此处修饰动词involved，应用副词increasingly，意为“越来越多地”。 【42题详解】 考查强调句。句意：正是对绿色发展的执着，使这些曾经偏远的村庄变成了繁荣的旅游中心。分析句子结构可知，此句是强调句，其结构为“It is/was +被强调部分+ that +其他部分”，此处被强调的是the dedication to green development，所以用that。 【43题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：游客常常对乡村的真正魅力印象深刻，并将其描述为一个诗意的地方，在那里他们可以真正放松身心。describe...as...为固定短语，意为“把……描述为……”，所以此处用as。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：近年来，为了保护当地环境和促进可持续旅游，已经采取了一系列措施，而宣城的成功经验可以为全国的乡村发展提供切实的指导。根据时间状语“In recent years”可知，此处应用现在完成时，且measures与take之间是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，其结构为“have/has been +过去分词”，主语a series of measures是复数，所以用have been taken。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：近年来，为了保护当地环境和促进可持续旅游，已经采取了一系列措施，而宣城的成功经验可以为全国的乡村发展提供切实的指导。形容词practical后接名词，guide的名词形式为guidance，意为“指导”。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你校英文报“Teen Voice”栏目正在举行题为“What Matters Most to Success: Talent, Effort or Methods?”的征文活动。请你写一篇短文投稿。 内容包括： 1．对三者按重要程度进行排序； 2．简要说明你的理由。 注意： 1．词数80左右； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 What Matters Most to Success: Talent, Effort or Methods? From my perspective, the three factors rank as Methods first, Effort second, and Talent last. A proper method acts as the right compass, saving us from wasting time on meaningless repeated attempts. Even full devotion can turn into blind toil without a clear, workable method. Talent, though a natural advantage, can hardly bring steady progress if we lack targeted effort and a scientific path. With a smart method guiding consistent effort, even average learners can make steady breakthroughs far beyond their initial limits. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以“What Matters Most to Success: Talent, Effort or Methods?”为题，写一篇短文向校英文报投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 因素：factor→element 恰当的：proper→appropriate 稳定的：steady→jarless 在我看来：from my perspective→as far as I can see 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：With a smart method guiding consistent effort, even average learners can make steady breakthroughs far beyond their initial limits. 拓展句：If we use a smart method to guide consistent effort, even average learners can make steady breakthroughs far beyond their initial limits. 【点睛】[高分句型1] A proper method acts as the right compass, saving us from wasting time on meaningless repeated attempts. (运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] Talent, though a natural advantage, can hardly bring steady progress if we lack targeted effort and a scientific path. (运用了though引导的让步状语从句的省略和if引导的条件状语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段英文，使之构成一篇的短文。 I have just moved and started a new job. My commute involves taking two trains — I transfer (换乘) at a station, switching from the subway to a country train. The station I transfer to is in a really rough area, where cracked concrete walls are covered with graffiti, and the smell of cigarettes hangs in the air — even the staff here look permanently tired. It was the day before payday, and I’d just come off a night shift. My eyes burned with tiredness as I dragged my feet toward the station. I thought I had enough money on my travel card, but I didn’t. At first, I thought it was a problem with my card, so I approached a staff member. From the name tag on her chest, I knew her name was Lucy. “Excuse me,” I said, my voice rough from the night shift, “I think my card might not be working.” She looked up from her paperwork, her tired eyes softening as she noticed my messy appearance. “Let me check that for you,” Lucy said. Later, Lucy’s eyebrows drew together in concern as she studied the screen. “You’re all out of money on your card.” She printed a receipt showing my top-up history (充值记录), usage records, and the balance. Sure enough, the balance read zero. This brought me to the edge of tears, as it meant being stuck in the rough area for over twelve hours until my paycheck arrived. “I... I see,” I managed to say. I explained helplessly that I wouldn’t be paid until the next day and needed to get home to town. I spoke quickly and awkwardly, my words all mixed up. Lucy leaned slightly over the counter, and listened to me carefully, like a mother bird observing a fallen chick. I really wanted to borrow money from her, but I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn’t know her at all. I guessed she wouldn’t trust a stranger easily — maybe she would even laugh at me. How disappointed I felt! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Surprisingly, Lucy reached into her own pocket and handed me her staff card. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I brought homemade cookies to Lucy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Surprisingly, Lucy reached into her own pocket and handed me her staff card. “Here,” she said, her voice filled with warmth. “This will cover your fare. Just return it whenever you can. I know you must be desperate to get home after that long night shift.” I was completely taken aback by her selfless act. Overwhelmed with gratitude, I stammered, “I can't thank you enough. You've truly saved me today. I'll return it as soon as possible.” She patted my arm reassuringly and said, “No rush. Safe journey.” With a heavy heart full of thanks, I took the card and made my way to the train. The next day, I brought homemade cookies to Lucy. As I handed her the box, I said, “Lucy, these are a small token of my appreciation for your kindness. You really helped me out of a tight spot.” She opened the box, her face lighting up. “These look amazing! Thank you so much. It was nothing, really.” We chatted for a moment, and I told her how her gesture had made me realize the power of kindness. From then on, I was determined to pay it forward, just as she had done for me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述 “我”刚换工作，在换乘站发现交通卡没钱，因第二天才发工资陷入困境，向工作人员Lucy求助时，虽未开口借钱，但Lucy主动帮忙的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“可知，第一段可描写“我”对她此举的反应、感谢以及后续用卡回家展开 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写“我”送饼干给 Lucy 表达感谢，以及我们之间的交流和此事对“我”的影。 2.续写线索：Lucy 借卡给“我”——“我”惊讶并感谢——用卡回家——第二天“我”送饼干感谢Lucy——交流中“我”表达感受并决心传递善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递给：hand /pass ②帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude /appreciation ②下定决心的：determined /resolute 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She looked up from her paperwork, her tired eyes softening as she noticed my messy appearance.（运用了独立主格结构 her tired eyes softening，以及 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】I really wanted to borrow money from her, but I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn’t know her at all.（运用了 but 连接的并列句以及 because 引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
