It gives you something to return to in your next writing session, so you aren’t starting from a blank page. Don’t be stubborn, get some rest and you’ll find you return to writing with fresh eyes.” — Nicole Glove, author of The Starseekers “Write wildly, and write what excites you. Of course, the market and its expectations will always be a consideration, but the writing process is joyful because your creativity is boundless. As with ‘don’t self-reject’, please don’t ‘self-limit’. Everything else is already trying to do that to you.” — Hien Nguyen, author of Twin Tides “Read widely and thoughtfully. As a writer, you are asking complete strangers to spend hours of their time in the world of your stories. Engaging with other authors’ work is crucial to learning how to make your stories as convincing and well-fulfilled as possible.” — Vanessa Lawrence, author of Sheer “Don’t try to force your will on a book before you know what it is — or what it needs. Writing is a kind of trust exercise: you do the work, you show up again and again, and over time the story begins to meet you. And listen to your obsessions (痴迷的事物). Whatever you can’t stop thinking about — that’s your compass.” — Paula McLain, author of Skylark 1. Which author advises learning from others? A. Nicole Glove. B. Hien Nguyen. C. Vanessa Lawrence. D. Paula McLain. 2. Which two authors advocate listening to one’s inner voice? A. Nicole Glove and Paula McLain. B. Hien Nguyen and Paula McLain. C. Hien Nguyen and Vanessa Lawrence. D. Nicole Glove and Vanessa Lawrence. 3. What are the four quotes mainly intended to do? A. To promote new story books. B. To provide writing strategies. C. To inspire people to read widely. D. To help writers ease pressure. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要展示四位作家分享实用有效的写作心得与创作建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Read widely and thoughtfully. As a writer, you are asking complete strangers to spend hours of their time in the world of your stories. Engaging with other authors’ work is crucial to learning how to make your stories as convincing and well-fulfilled as possible.”(“广泛且深度地阅读。作为作者，你是在邀请完全陌生的读者花数小时沉浸在你构建的故事世界里。用心研读其他作者的作品，是学会把自己的故事打磨得足够有说服力、足够饱满的关键。”)”可知 Vanessa Lawrence建议阅读他人作品、向其他创作者学习。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Write wildly, and write what excites you. Of course, the market and its expectations will always be a consideration, but the writing process is joyful because your creativity is boundless. As with ‘don’t self-reject’, please don’t ‘self-limit’. Everything else is already trying to do that to you.”(“放开手写，写那些真正让你充满热情的内容。当然你始终需要考虑市场及其预期，但写作的乐趣正源于你不受束缚的创造力。就像‘别先自我否定’一样，也请不要‘自我设限’，外界已经在处处给你设限了。”)”可知，要遵从内心热爱；再根据最后一段中“And listen to your obsessions. Whatever you can’t stop thinking about — that’s your compass.(听从内心执念，你念念不忘的事物就是创作指引。)”可知，二人都倡导遵从内心想法，倾听内心声音。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。全文四段分别给出持续写作、释放创作欲、广泛阅读、跟随故事本心四种写作方法，全部是给创作者的写作技巧与策略。 B Bubba, a strikingly handsome parrot, proved to be the most lovely little companion one could ever wish for. It was at my local pet shop that I brought him home, when the larger parrots persistently pushed him away from the seed dish and even off the end of the perch (栖木). He must have taken a liking to the name I gave him, for he picked it up with remarkable speed. I made a habit of keeping him informed of my daily activities and routinely inquired whether the music I played met with his approval. What never failed to amuse me was his practice of new vocabulary; whenever he mispronounced a word, he would mutter (嘀咕) loudly — a behaviour I interpreted as his own form of self-criticism. I would keep Bubba’s cage door open unless he engaged in some mischief, when I would shut him in until he behaved. It was not long before he mastered the phrase, “Bubba’s a good boy.” Upon his release, I was showered with abundant kisses! Among all my memories, the one I treasure most is of his final Christmas. He uttered, “What doing?” I explained that the following day would be Christmas Day, and that the decorations were bound to lift our spirits. The next morning, he emerged early kissing me, which continued throughout the entire day. That evening, as I settled him into his cage, he had a very contented expression on his face. On his final day, he refused to let go of me, lying in the palm of my hand for hours on end. At bedtime, he cried in complaint the moment I placed him into his cage; consequently, I asked whether he would prefer to remain in my bedroom — a question that was followed by lots of kissing sounds. After the customary music, I instructed him to lie down and make himself comfortable. In the morning, I found him lying still, one wing over his head. To this day, I remain convinced that he still pays me visits. 4. What was probably the author’s original motivation for buying Bubba? A. Sympathy. B. Affection. C. Curiosity. D. Guilt. 5. What does the author focus on in Paragraph 2? A. Bubba’s self-criticism. B. Bubba’s super memory. C. Bubba’s funny pronunciations. D. Bubba’s learning experiences. 6. Which is closest to the underlined word “mischief” in meaning? A. Game-playing. B. Language-learning. C. Trouble-making. D. Mistake-reviewing. 7. Which is the best title of the story? A. Two Is Company. B. Always Love You. C. Living in Harmony. D. The Kiss That Stayed. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者与鹦鹉布巴相伴的温馨过往及离别后的深切思念。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段中“It was at my local pet shop that I brought him home, when the larger parrots persistently pushed him away from the seed dish and even off the end of the perch (栖木).(我是在当地的宠物店把它带回家的，当时店里体型更大的鹦鹉总把它从食盆边挤开，甚至直接把它从栖木末端推下去。)”可知，布巴在宠物店受到其他鹦鹉的欺负，作者出于同情才把它带回家。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“He must have taken a liking to the name I gave him, for he picked it up with remarkable speed. I made a habit of keeping him informed of my daily activities and routinely inquired whether the music I played met with his approval. What never failed to amuse me was his practice of new vocabulary; whenever he mispronounced a word, he would mutter (嘀咕) loudly — a behaviour I interpreted as his own form of self-criticism.(它肯定很喜欢我给它取的这个名字，很快就学会了叫自己的名字。我习惯把自己每天的行程都告诉它，还常会问问它我放的音乐合不合心意。最让我觉得好笑的是它练习新词的样子：每次念错单词，它就会大声嘀咕——我把这个小举动当成了它独有的自我纠正方式。)”可知，整段围绕鹦鹉学习名字、练习新词的经历展开。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“I would keep Bubba’s cage door open unless he engaged in some mischief, when I would shut him in until he behaved.(平时我都敞开布巴的笼门，除非它mischief，我才会把它关起来，直到它安分下来。)”可知，出现mischief就关笼子约束它，mischief意为“捣乱、惹麻烦”。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其是第三段中“The next morning, he emerged early kissing me, which continued throughout the entire day.(第二天一早它就早早凑过来亲我，一整天都黏着我。)”，最后一段“On his final day, he refused to let go of me, lying in the palm of my hand for hours on end. At bedtime, he cried in complaint the moment I placed him into his cage; consequently, I asked whether he would prefer to remain in my bedroom — a question that was followed by lots of kissing sounds. After the customary music, I instructed him to lie down and make himself comfortable. In the morning, I found him lying still, one wing over his head. To this day, I remain convinced that he still pays me visits.(在它生命的最后一天，它死死黏着我不肯松开，在我的掌心里躺了好几个小时。到了睡觉的点，我刚把它放进笼子它就委屈地叫起来，于是我问它愿不愿意留在我的卧室里，话音刚落它就发出了一连串亲昵的亲嘴声。听完常听的音乐后，我让它躺好舒舒服服休息。第二天早上，我发现它静静躺着，一只翅膀搭在头上。直到今天，我仍坚信它还会时常回来看我。)”可知，文章主要讲述作者与鹦鹉布巴相伴的温馨过往及离别后的深切思念。文章描写布巴亲吻作者的动作以及生命最后旅程一连串亲昵的亲嘴声，D选项“永驻的吻”最能体现这份深情。 C The Shakers, a time-honored community that settled in the United States in the 1700s, crafted objects of quiet, understated elegance. Among all their handmade wares — baskets, brooms and blankets — the Shaker chair stands as the most revealing symbol of their way of life. These chairs were never intended as fine art or cultural icons; they were built solely for function. Every element, from straight wooden legs to tightly woven seats, served a clear practical end. No carvings, paint or decorative flourishes (花饰) were added unless they strengthened the frame or boosted comfort. With clean, plain lines, each piece existed only to be used. The unique grace of a Shaker chair stems from this truth: it was built by someone who truly believed an angel might come and sit upon it. Rooted in that faith, the Shakers crafted every chair with extraordinary care. Any rough edge was seen as an insult (冒犯) to the person who would use it. This deep devotion to craftsmanship turned ordinary furniture into pieces where every surface, joint and woven fiber met a precise, uncompromising standard. Above all, the material world was a way of supporting spiritual life. In 1987, a tall Shaker revolving chair sold for $88,000, a then-record price for the furniture. Yet the Shakers themselves never wanted to be remembered for their handmade pieces. “I do not wish to be remembered merely as a chair,” said the late Shaker Sister Mildred Barker. “I hope people will recall what my life truly stood for.” To her, the chair was never a memorial — it was simply a tool that let her community live out its core beliefs. Only a tiny Shaker community survives today. That ideal of having everything exactly as it should be may now feel unattainable, yet we can still catch a glimpse of it in the quiet grace of a Shaker chair. It stands quietly plain and complete to the eye, as if nothing is missing, and nothing extra is needed. 8. How did the Shakers make their chairs? A. They added nothing without a purpose. B. They painted chairs in vivid colors. C. They avoided any carving on each chair. D. They decorated chairs with elegant lines. 9. Why did the Shakers make their chairs with great care? A. They seek high chair profits. B. They anticipate angel visitors. C. They stick to their traditional belief. D. They want to reshape their craftsmanship. 10. Which statement best interprets Sister Mildred Barker’s words? A. A Shaker chair enriches the Shakers’ spiritual life. B. Craftsmanship is more important than racial belief. C. The Shakers should be remembered for their furniture. D. A carefully crafted object is not the life that created it. 11. What qualities would the Shakers probably value? A. Modesty and perfection. B. Nobleness and elegance. C. Diligence and confidence. D. Conventionality and creativity. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍震颤派椅子简约实用的设计特点，其制作源于独特信仰，椅子只是践行理念的工具，从中能窥见震教徒追求恰到好处的生活理想。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“No carvings, paint or decorative flourishes (花饰) were added unless they strengthened the frame or boosted comfort. With clean, plain lines, each piece existed only to be used.(除非能够加固结构或是提升舒适度，否则不会增添雕刻、涂装与各类装饰纹样。线条简洁朴素，每一件器物生来只为投入使用。)”可知，震颤派制作椅子时不添加任何无目的的装饰。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“The unique grace of a Shaker chair stems from this truth: it was built by someone who truly believed an angel might come and sit upon it. Rooted in that faith, the Shakers crafted every chair with extraordinary care. Any rough edge was seen as an insult (冒犯) to the person who would use it. (震颤派座椅独有的雅致源自这样一种事实：打造椅子的匠人坚信，或许会有天使落座其上。秉持这份信仰，震颤派匠人极其用心地制作每一把椅子。任何一处粗糙的边缘，都被视作对使用者的不敬。)”可知，他们精心制作椅子是因为坚守自己的传统信仰。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中““I do not wish to be remembered merely as a chair,” said the late Shaker Sister Mildred Barker. “I hope people will recall what my life truly stood for.” To her, the chair was never a memorial — it was simply a tool that let her community live out its core beliefs.(已故震颤派修女米尔德里德・巴克说道：“我不希望人们只记住一把椅子。我希望人们铭记我一生所坚守的信念。”在她看来，椅子从来不是纪念物，只是社群践行核心信仰的工具。)”可知，米尔德里德・巴克修女认为精心制作的物品并不等于创造它的生命本身。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段中“Among all their handmade wares — baskets, brooms and blankets — the Shaker chair stands as the most revealing symbol of their way of life. These chairs were never intended as fine art or cultural icons; they were built solely for function. Every element, from straight wooden legs to tightly woven seats, served a clear practical end. No carvings, paint or decorative flourishes (花饰) were added unless they strengthened the frame or boosted comfort. With clean, plain lines, each piece existed only to be used.(在他们各式各样的手工艺品 —— 篮子、扫帚与毛毯之中，震颤派座椅最能体现他们的生活方式。制作这类座椅并非为了打造艺术品或是文化象征，纯粹出于实用需求。笔直的木腿、编织密实的椅面，每一处构造都有着明确的实用目的。除非能够加固结构或是提升舒适度，否则不会增添雕刻、涂装与各类装饰纹样。线条简洁朴素，每一件器物生来只为投入使用。)”以及第二段中“The unique grace of a Shaker chair stems from this truth: it was built by someone who truly believed an angel might come and sit upon it. Rooted in that faith, the Shakers crafted every chair with extraordinary care. Any rough edge was seen as an insult (冒犯) to the person who would use it. (震颤派座椅独有的雅致源自这样一种信念：打造椅子的匠人坚信，或许会有天使落座其上。秉持这份信仰，震颤派匠人极其用心地制作每一把椅子。任何一处粗糙的边缘，都被视作对使用者的不敬。)”可知，震颤派推崇谦逊和追求完美的品质。 D According to an analysis by Harvard Business Review, therapy (治疗) and companionship are the top ways people are using generative AI, but some people form emotional dependencies leading to withdrawal from their real lives. Research found that heavy daily use was correlated with increased loneliness. AI tools are known to routinely invent information and present it confidently as fact. You can ask a chatbot to use verified or scientific sourcing and to share the links of all the articles it’s referencing, but the only way to ensure accuracy is to fact-check the information yourself. AI-generated images and videos are increasingly commonplace online. The current tools make it possible for anyone to create images and videos so realistic that it’s often no longer possible to distinguish what’s real from what’s AI. As far as trust goes, it’s also vital to remember that AI chatbots are created by companies struggling to beat each other in a competitive market. “Trust AI as much as you trust a car dealer,” Celebi says. “Sure, they’re here to provide you a service, but the AI works for a tech giant.” Connected to that, it’s important to keep data privacy risks in mind. If you share personal details and private thoughts with AI tools, know that protection of your information is far from guaranteed. Despite these concerns, tech companies are now enthusiastically developing AI agents to act on your behalf, sometimes autonomously. Imagine AI not just planning your vacation but booking your flight and hotel with your credit card fully on its own. Future agents could act like a “chief of staff,” handling your emails, scheduling meetings, and setting reminders. It is the next step to potentially creating the kind of true AI assistant sci-fi has dreamed of for decades. Overall, though, it’s a common sense in the tech industry that no one can predict how AI technology will evolve. It is we human beings that decide whether or not to use it, trust it and regulate it. 12. Which risk of using generative AI is mentioned in the text? A. AI tools emerge as a threat to medical care system. B. Long chat experiences may cause mental problems. C. Tech companies share users’ private data for profit. D. AI agents often make wrong decisions autonomously. 13. What does Celebi suggest about AI chatbots? A. They should follow the example of car dealers. B. They break the law by selling clients’ information. C. They struggle to hold the line to survive in the market. D. They serve the interests of their producers all the time. 14. What can be inferred about future AI agents? A. They will replace human workers in office jobs. B. They are being designed to prioritize user privacy. C. They may perform financial deals for their masters. D. They will probably keep families away from troubles. 15. What attitude does the author take towards AI? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍生成式人工智能利弊、各类使用风险及人类掌握AI发展主动权。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“According to an analysis by Harvard Business Review, therapy (治疗) and companionship are the top ways people are using generative AI, but some people form emotional dependencies leading to withdrawal from their real lives. Research found that heavy daily use was correlated with increased loneliness.(《哈佛商业评论》的一项分析显示，治疗与陪伴是人们使用生成式AI的首要场景，但部分人会对其产生情感依赖，进而脱离现实生活。研究发现，每日重度使用AI与孤独感加剧存在关联)”可知，长时间使用AI聊天可能导致心理健康问题。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中““Trust AI as much as you trust a car dealer,” Celebi says. “Sure, they’re here to provide you a service, but the AI works for a tech giant.” (“你对AI的信任度，最多只能等同于你对汽车经销商的信任度，”Celebi表示，“他们确实是来为你提供服务的，但AI本质上服务于科技巨头。”)”可知，Celebi暗示AI聊天机器人始终为其生产者的利益服务。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段中“Imagine AI not just planning your vacation but booking your flight and hotel with your credit card fully on its own.(想象一下，AI不仅规划你的假期，还能完全自主地用你的信用卡预订航班和酒店)”可知，未来的AI代理可能会为主人执行财务交易。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“According to an analysis by Harvard Business Review, therapy (治疗) and companionship are the top ways people are using generative AI, but some people form emotional dependencies leading to withdrawal from their real lives. Research found that heavy daily use was correlated with increased loneliness.(《哈佛商业评论》的一项分析显示，治疗与陪伴是人们使用生成式AI的首要场景，但部分人会对其产生情感依赖，进而脱离现实生活。研究发现，每日重度使用AI与孤独感加剧存在关联)”可知，文章先列举生成式人工智能带来的各类风险，根据第四段中“Despite these concerns, tech companies are now enthusiastically developing AI agents to act on your behalf, sometimes autonomously.(尽管存在这些顾虑，科技公司正积极研发人工智能代理，有时可以自主代表用户行事)”介绍人工智能广阔的发展前景。作者着重指出众多潜在风险，提醒人们理性看待人工智能，体现出谨慎的态度。 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。 Many people think of poetry as something only studied in classrooms or read by literature lovers. They might see it as difficult verses to analyze for exams or as a form of art reserved for scholars. ____16____ From managing emotions to strengthening relationships, poetry offers benefits that anyone can enjoy. One of the most powerful uses of poetry is emotional expression. ____17____ Yet a poem can say what we cannot. Writing a few lines about how you feel can help you process difficult experiences and celebrate happy ones. Reading poetry also provides comfort, as you discover that others have felt the same way. ____18____ The rhythms and rhymes of poetry make information easier to remember. This is why song lyrics stick in our heads and why children learn the alphabet through rhymes. You can use simple poems to remember shopping lists, study key facts, or teach young children new concepts. Poetry also sharpens observation skills. A good poem asks you to notice small details — the way light falls on a table, the sound of footsteps in an empty hall. By reading or writing poetry regularly, you train yourself to pay closer attention to the world around you. ____19____ Instead of remaining on the page, poetry builds community. Sharing a poem at a family gathering, writing one for a friend’s birthday, or joining a local poetry reading group creates connections between people. ____20____ From love and loss to hope and gratitude, poetry speaks to every emotion that makes us human. By bringing poetry into daily life, you can find new ways to express yourself, connect with others, and see the world more clearly. A. In addition, poetry strengthens communication. B. Another practical application is memory and learning. C. Words may fail us in moments of joy, grief, or confusion. D. Poetry gives us a shared language for experiences that matter most. E. Even casual talks can be engaging when influenced by poetic thinking. F. In reality, poetry can enrich everyday life in practical and meaningful ways. G. This heightened insight can make ordinary moments richer and more meaningful. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要论述了诗歌在日常生活中的实用价值和积极意义。 【16题详解】 由上文“They might see it as difficult verses to analyze for exams or as a form of art reserved for scholars. (他们可能将诗歌看作用于考试分析的晦涩诗句，或是仅供学者欣赏的艺术形式。)”及下文“From managing emotions to strengthening relationships, poetry offers benefits that anyone can enjoy. (从调节情绪到增进人际关系，诗歌能带来人人都可以感受的益处。)”可知，上文介绍大众对诗歌的狭隘认知，下文介绍诗歌的诸多好处，本空应起到转折作用，指出诗歌的实际价值。F选项“事实上，诗歌能够以实用且富有意义的方式丰富日常生活。”承上启下，符合语境。 【17题详解】 由上文“One of the most powerful uses of poetry is emotional expression.

This is why song lyrics stick in our heads and why children learn the alphabet through rhymes. (诗歌的节奏和韵律使信息更容易记忆。这就是为什么歌词会印在我们的脑海里，以及为什么孩子们通过韵律学习字母表。)”可知，本段主要讲诗歌在记忆和学习方面的实际应用。本空为本段主题句。B选项“另一项实际用途是辅助记忆与学习。”总领全段内容，符合语境。 【19题详解】 由上文“By reading or writing poetry regularly, you train yourself to pay closer attention to the world around you.(经常读写诗歌，会训练自己更加留意周遭世界。)”可知，上文讲述诗歌锻炼观察力，本空承接上文，说明敏锐洞察力带来的影响。G选项“这种更强的感悟力能够让平凡瞬间变得更加丰富且富有意义。”能承接上文，符合语境。 【20题详解】 由上文“Sharing a poem at a family gathering, writing one for a friend’s birthday, or joining a local poetry reading group creates connections between people. (家庭聚会分享诗歌、为友人写诗或是参加诗会，能够搭建人与人之间的联结。)”及下文“From love and loss to hope and gratitude, poetry speaks to every emotion that makes us human. (从爱与失去到希望与感恩，诗歌诉说人类共有的各类情感。)”可知，上文说诗歌搭建人与人之间的联结，下文说诗歌诉说人类共有的各类情感，此处要说明诗歌是人们共享的情感语言。D 选项“诗歌为我们提供了诉说最重要人生经历的共通语言。”承上启下，符合语境。 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。 Three-year-old Heidi ran around the backyard when she knocked down a glass jar, which collapsed into pieces of glass.

Inside rests an old pocket watch, another precious gift I received from him. My childhood was mostly accompanied by my grandfather, whose gentle love filled every ordinary day, telling me stories and showing me how to carve. Influenced by my grandfather, I also developed a keen interest in carving. Last month, I went to the city park to relax. I sat on a bench, enjoying the gentle wind and the sound of children laughing nearby. I took out the watch and held it in my hand, running my fingers over its scratched (有划痕的) surface, recalling my happy days spent with Grandpa. Suddenly, a little boy ran over, his eyes caught by my watch, totally attracted. “May I touch it?” I raised my head, smiled and passed it to him. Watching him showing such great affection for it, I began to teach him how to tell time and wind the watch. I also told him the story between my grandpa and I, and how important the watch was to me. To our surprise, we have something in common and he also enjoys carving. We chatted happily for a long time until it was getting dark. Unwilling to leave, we said goodbye to each other and left the park. Before going to bed, I realized that my watch was missing. Overwhelmed by panic, I rushed back to the park immediately. I searched every corner carefully, but all my efforts were in vain. With the precious watch lingering (萦绕) in my mind, I felt extremely bad, lying in bed, hard to fall asleep. Finally, I decided to take a chance, so I posted a LOST AND FOUND online, praying someone would give me a ray of hope. 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。 Early the next morning, a phone call broke my uneasy silence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, we met at the park every weekend. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Early the next morning, a phone call broke my uneasy silence. Curious and excited, I picked up the phone. It was the little boy I met in the park. He said he found my pocket watch after I left and waited a long time in vain. Having seen my notice online, he dialed the number. We met at the park gate and he handed me the watch with a bright smile. I thanked him sincerely, taking out a small carved wooden bird I’d made as a gift for him. His eyes lit up with joy as he saw the lifelike work. From then on, we met at the park every weekend. We would bring our carving works and share our carving skills beside the quiet bench. I told him more warm memories about my grandfather and the precious wooden box, while he proudly showed me his newly-made animal carvings. I often took out the old pocket watch, wound it slowly and enjoyed the peaceful afternoon time with him together. The watch carrying grandpa’s soft love linked us closely. It felt as if my grandfather’s gentle warmth was quietly flowing to the little boy through our simple common hobby. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者不慎丢失了爷爷赠送的旧怀表，在发布寻物启事后，被前一天在公园偶遇的热爱雕刻的小男孩捡到并归还，二人因此结缘的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写来电的正是那个小男孩，他捡到怀表，二人相约公园见面归还怀表，我赠送手工木雕向他致谢。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写我俩定期相约交流雕刻技艺，分享与木雕、怀表相关的温暖回忆，怀表承载的温情联结起我们二人。 2. 续写线索：丢失怀表焦急万分——网上发布寻物启事——清晨接到男孩来电——公园见面取回怀表、赠送木雕——周末相约公园切磋雕刻——怀表承载温情维系两人友谊 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①接起电话：pick up the phone/answer the call/respond to the ring ②分享我们的雕刻技艺：share our carving skills / exchange our carving techniques 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled ②高兴：joy/happiness/pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型1】He said he found my pocket watch after I left and waited a long time in vain.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略，after引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】It felt as if my grandfather’s gentle warmth was quietly flowing to the little boy through our simple common hobby.（运用了as if引导的表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荆州市2025—2026学年度高二年级质量检测 英语试卷 2026.7 本试卷共12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) 第一节(共5小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音读两遍。 1.

It gives you something to return to in your next writing session, so you aren’t starting from a blank page. Don’t be stubborn, get some rest and you’ll find you return to writing with fresh eyes.” — Nicole Glove, author of The Starseekers “Write wildly, and write what excites you. Of course, the market and its expectations will always be a consideration, but the writing process is joyful because your creativity is boundless. As with ‘don’t self-reject’, please don’t ‘self-limit’. Everything else is already trying to do that to you.” — Hien Nguyen, author of Twin Tides “Read widely and thoughtfully. As a writer, you are asking complete strangers to spend hours of their time in the world of your stories. Engaging with other authors’ work is crucial to learning how to make your stories as convincing and well-fulfilled as possible.” — Vanessa Lawrence, author of Sheer “Don’t try to force your will on a book before you know what it is — or what it needs. Writing is a kind of trust exercise: you do the work, you show up again and again, and over time the story begins to meet you. And listen to your obsessions (痴迷的事物). Whatever you can’t stop thinking about — that’s your compass.” — Paula McLain, author of Skylark 1. Which author advises learning from others? A. Nicole Glove. B. Hien Nguyen. C. Vanessa Lawrence. D.

To help writers ease pressure. B Bubba, a strikingly handsome parrot, proved to be the most lovely little companion one could ever wish for. It was at my local pet shop that I brought him home, when the larger parrots persistently pushed him away from the seed dish and even off the end of the perch (栖木). He must have taken a liking to the name I gave him, for he picked it up with remarkable speed. I made a habit of keeping him informed of my daily activities and routinely inquired whether the music I played met with his approval. What never failed to amuse me was his practice of new vocabulary; whenever he mispronounced a word, he would mutter (嘀咕) loudly — a behaviour I interpreted as his own form of self-criticism. I would keep Bubba’s cage door open unless he engaged in some mischief, when I would shut him in until he behaved. It was not long before he mastered the phrase, “Bubba’s a good boy.” Upon his release, I was showered with abundant kisses! Among all my memories, the one I treasure most is of his final Christmas. He uttered, “What doing?” I explained that the following day would be Christmas Day, and that the decorations were bound to lift our spirits. The next morning, he emerged early kissing me, which continued throughout the entire day. That evening, as I settled him into his cage, he had a very contented expression on his face. On his final day, he refused to let go of me, lying in the palm of my hand for hours on end. At bedtime, he cried in complaint the moment I placed him into his cage; consequently, I asked whether he would prefer to remain in my bedroom — a question that was followed by lots of kissing sounds. After the customary music, I instructed him to lie down and make himself comfortable. In the morning, I found him lying still, one wing over his head. To this day, I remain convinced that he still pays me visits. 4. What was probably the author’s original motivation for buying Bubba? A. Sympathy. B. Affection. C. Curiosity. D. Guilt. 5. What does the author focus on in Paragraph 2? A. Bubba’s self-criticism. B. Bubba’s super memory. C. Bubba’s funny pronunciations. D. Bubba’s learning experiences. 6. Which is closest to the underlined word “mischief” in meaning? A. Game-playing. B. Language-learning. C. Trouble-making. D. Mistake-reviewing. 7. Which is the best title of the story? A. Two Is Company. B. Always Love You. C. Living in Harmony. D. The Kiss That Stayed. C The Shakers, a time-honored community that settled in the United States in the 1700s, crafted objects of quiet, understated elegance. Among all their handmade wares — baskets, brooms and blankets — the Shaker chair stands as the most revealing symbol of their way of life. These chairs were never intended as fine art or cultural icons; they were built solely for function. Every element, from straight wooden legs to tightly woven seats, served a clear practical end. No carvings, paint or decorative flourishes (花饰) were added unless they strengthened the frame or boosted comfort. With clean, plain lines, each piece existed only to be used. The unique grace of a Shaker chair stems from this truth: it was built by someone who truly believed an angel might come and sit upon it. Rooted in that faith, the Shakers crafted every chair with extraordinary care. Any rough edge was seen as an insult (冒犯) to the person who would use it. This deep devotion to craftsmanship turned ordinary furniture into pieces where every surface, joint and woven fiber met a precise, uncompromising standard. Above all, the material world was a way of supporting spiritual life. In 1987, a tall Shaker revolving chair sold for $88,000, a then-record price for the furniture. Yet the Shakers themselves never wanted to be remembered for their handmade pieces. “I do not wish to be remembered merely as a chair,” said the late Shaker Sister Mildred Barker. “I hope people will recall what my life truly stood for.” To her, the chair was never a memorial — it was simply a tool that let her community live out its core beliefs. Only a tiny Shaker community survives today. That ideal of having everything exactly as it should be may now feel unattainable, yet we can still catch a glimpse of it in the quiet grace of a Shaker chair. It stands quietly plain and complete to the eye, as if nothing is missing, and nothing extra is needed. 8. How did the Shakers make their chairs? A. They added nothing without a purpose. B. They painted chairs in vivid colors. C. They avoided any carving on each chair. D. They decorated chairs with elegant lines. 9. Why did the Shakers make their chairs with great care? A. They seek high chair profits. B. They anticipate angel visitors. C. They stick to their traditional belief. D. They want to reshape their craftsmanship. 10. Which statement best interprets Sister Mildred Barker’s words? A. A Shaker chair enriches the Shakers’ spiritual life. B. Craftsmanship is more important than racial belief. C. The Shakers should be remembered for their furniture. D. A carefully crafted object is not the life that created it. 11. What qualities would the Shakers probably value? A. Modesty and perfection. B. Nobleness and elegance. C. Diligence and confidence. D. Conventionality and creativity. D According to an analysis by Harvard Business Review, therapy (治疗) and companionship are the top ways people are using generative AI, but some people form emotional dependencies leading to withdrawal from their real lives. Research found that heavy daily use was correlated with increased loneliness. AI tools are known to routinely invent information and present it confidently as fact. You can ask a chatbot to use verified or scientific sourcing and to share the links of all the articles it’s referencing, but the only way to ensure accuracy is to fact-check the information yourself. AI-generated images and videos are increasingly commonplace online. The current tools make it possible for anyone to create images and videos so realistic that it’s often no longer possible to distinguish what’s real from what’s AI. As far as trust goes, it’s also vital to remember that AI chatbots are created by companies struggling to beat each other in a competitive market. “Trust AI as much as you trust a car dealer,” Celebi says. “Sure, they’re here to provide you a service, but the AI works for a tech giant.” Connected to that, it’s important to keep data privacy risks in mind. If you share personal details and private thoughts with AI tools, know that protection of your information is far from guaranteed. Despite these concerns, tech companies are now enthusiastically developing AI agents to act on your behalf, sometimes autonomously. Imagine AI not just planning your vacation but booking your flight and hotel with your credit card fully on its own. Future agents could act like a “chief of staff,” handling your emails, scheduling meetings, and setting reminders. It is the next step to potentially creating the kind of true AI assistant sci-fi has dreamed of for decades. Overall, though, it’s a common sense in the tech industry that no one can predict how AI technology will evolve. It is we human beings that decide whether or not to use it, trust it and regulate it. 12. Which risk of using generative AI is mentioned in the text? A. AI tools emerge as a threat to medical care system. B. Long chat experiences may cause mental problems. C. Tech companies share users’ private data for profit. D.

They might see it as difficult verses to analyze for exams or as a form of art reserved for scholars. ____16____ From managing emotions to strengthening relationships, poetry offers benefits that anyone can enjoy. One of the most powerful uses of poetry is emotional expression. ____17____ Yet a poem can say what we cannot. Writing a few lines about how you feel can help you process difficult experiences and celebrate happy ones. Reading poetry also provides comfort, as you discover that others have felt the same way. ____18____ The rhythms and rhymes of poetry make information easier to remember. This is why song lyrics stick in our heads and why children learn the alphabet through rhymes. You can use simple poems to remember shopping lists, study key facts, or teach young children new concepts. Poetry also sharpens observation skills. A good poem asks you to notice small details — the way light falls on a table, the sound of footsteps in an empty hall. By reading or writing poetry regularly, you train yourself to pay closer attention to the world around you. ____19____ Instead of remaining on the page, poetry builds community. Sharing a poem at a family gathering, writing one for a friend’s birthday, or joining a local poetry reading group creates connections between people. ____20____ From love and loss to hope and gratitude, poetry speaks to every emotion that makes us human. By bringing poetry into daily life, you can find new ways to express yourself, connect with others, and see the world more clearly. A. In addition, poetry strengthens communication. B. Another practical application is memory and learning. C. Words may fail us in moments of joy, grief, or confusion. D. Poetry gives us a shared language for experiences that matter most. E. Even casual talks can be engaging when influenced by poetic thinking. F. In reality, poetry can enrich everyday life in practical and meaningful ways. G. This heightened insight can make ordinary moments richer and more meaningful. 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。 Three-year-old Heidi ran around the backyard when she knocked down a glass jar, which collapsed into pieces of glass.

Inside rests an old pocket watch, another precious gift I received from him. My childhood was mostly accompanied by my grandfather, whose gentle love filled every ordinary day, telling me stories and showing me how to carve. Influenced by my grandfather, I also developed a keen interest in carving. Last month, I went to the city park to relax. I sat on a bench, enjoying the gentle wind and the sound of children laughing nearby. I took out the watch and held it in my hand, running my fingers over its scratched (有划痕的) surface, recalling my happy days spent with Grandpa. Suddenly, a little boy ran over, his eyes caught by my watch, totally attracted. “May I touch it?” I raised my head, smiled and passed it to him. Watching him showing such great affection for it, I began to teach him how to tell time and wind the watch. I also told him the story between my grandpa and I, and how important the watch was to me. To our surprise, we have something in common and he also enjoys carving. We chatted happily for a long time until it was getting dark. Unwilling to leave, we said goodbye to each other and left the park. Before going to bed, I realized that my watch was missing. Overwhelmed by panic, I rushed back to the park immediately. I searched every corner carefully, but all my efforts were in vain. With the precious watch lingering (萦绕) in my mind, I felt extremely bad, lying in bed, hard to fall asleep. Finally, I decided to take a chance, so I posted a LOST AND FOUND online, praying someone would give me a ray of hope. 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。 Early the next morning, a phone call broke my uneasy silence. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, we met at the park every weekend. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
