Shao’s fascination with woodworking began in his childhood. In 2018, Shao began studying construction engineering at Shanghai City Science and Technology School. He joined the school’s woodworking club. The initial training was basic and repetitive, involving day after day of cutting straight lines and carving mortises (榫眼). His effort paid off. After six months of basic training, Shao stood out among 35 students and was selected for the school’s elite team for the WorldSkills competitions. In the competition team, Shao gradually got familiar with dozens of tools and practiced new high-standard techniques every day. One of the biggest challenges Shao faced was perfecting the precision of traditional Chinese sunmao joints. This technique requires that the gap between two wooden pieces be less than 0.2 millimeters. “If even the measurement of one part is off, it affects the entire piece,” he explained. Shao also paid much attention to the internal structure of his work, striving to make it as perfect as the 3D models created in software. His pursuit of perfection won him top marks and the competition’s woodworking gold medal at the WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition. At the end of 2022, Shao transitioned from being a student to a coach at his school. “It’s difficult to teach the ‘feel’ of woodworking,” Shao said. “I can only instruct them on the methods — the rest they must learn through practice.” While Shao encourages his students to make good use of modern technology to handle repetitive tasks, he stresses that it is human creativity that “transforms a piece of wood into something truly unique”. “Craftsmanship can be described with many positive words, but for me, it’s all about creating with your hands,” he said. 4. What does the underlined word “elite” in paragraph 2 mean? A. common. B. united. C. outstanding. D. amateur. 5. What major obstacle did Shao encounter for the world competitions in the team? A. Learning to use hundreds of different tools. B. Keeping the accuracy of wooden joints. C. Creating lifelike 3D models with software. D. Teaching students the sense of woodworking. 6. What can we conclude from Shao’s words on teaching woodworking? A. Technology outweighs creative thinking in woodwork. B. Precise skills help create unique wooden works. C. Practical experience matters to grasp woodworking sense. D. Coaches can pass on all woodworking skills in class. 7. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Carving His Way to Gold. B. Mastering Ancient Wooden Joints. C. Making Good Use of Modern Tools. D. Passing Down Woodworking Skills. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述邵茹鹏自幼热爱木工，刻苦训练斩获世赛木工首金，转型教师传承木工匠心的成长故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“After six months of basic training, Shao stood out among 35 students and was selected for the school’s elite team for the WorldSkills competitions.(经过六个月基础训练，邵茹鹏在35名学生中脱颖而出，入选学校备战世界技能大赛的elite队伍。)”可知，他表现出众才被选入这支优秀拔尖的队伍，因此elite含义为“杰出的”，与outstanding意义相近。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“One of the biggest challenges Shao faced was perfecting the precision of traditional Chinese sunmao joints. This technique requires that the gap between two wooden pieces be less than 0.2 millimeters.(邵茹鹏面临的最大难题之一是精进中式榫卯结构的精度，这项工艺要求两块木料之间的缝隙小于0.2毫米。)”可知，备赛期间他遇到的主要阻碍是把控榫卯拼接的精准度。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的““It’s difficult to teach the ‘feel’ of woodworking,” Shao said. “I can only instruct them on the methods — the rest they must learn through practice.”(“木工的手感很难传授，”邵茹鹏说，“我只能教给他们方法，剩下的都要靠练习去领悟。”)”可知，想要掌握木工的手感，亲身实操积累经验至关重要。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“Now an occupational college teacher, 20-year-old Shao Rupeng won China’s first joinery gold at the 2022 WorldSkills Competition and was honored as a “Shanghai Craftsman” in 2025. (如今身为职业院校教师，20岁的邵儒鹏在2022年世界技能大赛上拿下中国首枚木工金牌，并于2025年获评“上海工匠”。)”以及尾段中的“Craftsmanship can be described with many positive words, but for me, it’s all about creating with your hands.(工匠精神可以用许多积极的词汇来形容，但对我来说，就是亲手创造。)”可知，文章围绕邵茹鹏深耕木工技艺、一路打磨最终夺得世赛金牌的核心经历展开，完整讲述他靠雕琢木料闯出荣耀之路的历程，所以“Carving His Way to Gold(雕琢出通往金牌之路)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 C As the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off across the United States, Canada and Mexico, another competition has been quietly emerging — off the field. Several Chinese large language models including Qwen, DeepSeek and Kimi have stepped up to predict match results, turning the world’s largest sporting event into an unexpected testing ground for AI-powered reasoning and data analysis. Several AI platforms have come up with creative campaigns. For instance, Moonshot AI’s Kimi has launched a 1-trillion-token reward for correctly predicting match winners and the final champion. However, the World Cup has also exposed the limitations of current AI models when it comes to analyzing and predicting the results of sporting events. For example, before the Group C match between Brazil and Morocco, major large language models confidently predicted a Brazilian victory, based on historical records and data. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. “As one of the most-watched sporting events across the globe, the World Cup offers AI companies a rare opportunity to showcase the computing power and analytical skills to a wider audience, but soccer matches are influenced by many factors in the physical world, and such variables (变量) are highly uncertain and difficult to quantify using fixed AI models, making precise predictions challenging.” said Guo Tao, a member of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and a senior expert in AI. Asked why tech companies are rolling out AI prediction features for sports when the accuracy rate is relatively low, experts said the trend partly reflects the growing pressure of competition across the industry. While artificial intelligence has grown extremely powerful in the digital world, the physical world — with all its unpredictability — remains largely beyond its reach. As the AI technology matures, simply competing on the size parameter (参数) is not enough, so the market should pay less attention to how large a model is and more attention to whether it can deliver valuable services in real-world situations and solve practical problems for users. 8. Why is the 2026 FIFA World Cup seen as “an unexpected testing ground” for AI? A. It lets AI platforms test match prediction. B. It is a big sports event hosted by three nations. C. It provides big rewards for new AI models. D. It helps AI correct sports data errors. 9. What can be learned from the Brazil-Morocco match result? A. Most football games end in draws unexpectedly. B. AI fails to collect enough sports statistics. C. Statistical data mean nothing to match analysis. D. Historical data cannot guarantee accurate predictions. 10. What is Guo Tao’s attitude toward AI’s ability to predict sports events? A. optimistic B. skeptical C. disapproving D. objective 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI can predict all real-world events accurately. B. Big AI models are useless in modern market. C. Practical service ability for AI matters more. D. Model size still decides an AI model’s value. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章以2026年美加墨世界杯为背景，介绍通义千问、深度求索、Kimi等中国大语言模型纷纷尝试预测赛事结果，世界杯意外成为检验AI推理与数据分析能力的试验场；文章同时指出AI体育赛事预测存在明显局限，现实赛场变量难以量化，专家表示行业不应盲目比拼模型参数规模，而应聚焦AI在现实场景中提供实用服务、解决实际问题的能力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Several Chinese large language models including Qwen, DeepSeek and Kimi have stepped up to predict match results, turning the world’s largest sporting event into an unexpected testing ground for AI-powered reasoning and data analysis.(包括通义千问、深度求索、Kimi在内的多款中国大语言模型已经开始预测赛事结果，将这项全球规模最大的体育赛事转变成了人工智能推理和数据分析能力的意外试验场。)”可知，2026年世界杯被视作人工智能意外试验场的原因是它让人工智能平台测试赛事预测能力。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, before the Group C match between Brazil and Morocco, major large language models confidently predicted a Brazilian victory, based on historical records and data. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.(举例来说，在巴西对阵摩洛哥的C组小组赛开始前，各大主流大语言模型依托历史记录与数据，笃定预测巴西取胜。比赛最终以1比1平局收场。)”可知，历史数据无法保证预测结果精准。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘As one of the most-watched sporting events across the globe, the World Cup offers AI companies a rare opportunity to showcase the computing power and analytical skills to a wider audience, but soccer matches are influenced by many factors in the physical world, and such variables (变量) are highly uncertain and difficult to quantify using fixed AI models, making precise predictions challenging.’ said Guo Tao, a member of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and a senior expert in AI.(中国人工智能学会会员、人工智能高级专家郭涛表示：‘作为全球收看人数最多的体育赛事之一，世界杯为人工智能企业提供了一个难得的机会，向更广泛的受众展示算力与分析能力，但是足球比赛会受到现实世界当中诸多因素的影响，并且这类变量具备高度不确定性，很难依靠固定的人工智能模型实现量化，这就让精准预测具备很大难度。’)”可知，郭涛既认可世界杯为人工智能企业提供了展示算力与分析能力的机会，也客观点明足球赛事受现实多重因素影响、变量不确定性强，没有片面否定或一味看好，态度是客观的。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As the AI technology matures, simply competing on the size parameter is not enough, so the market should pay less attention to how large a model is and more attention to whether it can deliver valuable services in real-world situations and solve practical problems for users.(随着人工智能技术走向成熟，仅仅比拼参数规模是不够的，因此市场应当少关注模型体量大小，更多关注人工智能能否在现实场景中提供有价值的服务、为用户解决实际问题。)”可知，人工智能的实用服务能力更加重要。 D New research has found that scientists studying sea-level rise have been using methods that underestimate how high the water already is. One result is that hundreds of millions more people worldwide are already living dangerously close to the rising ocean than previously estimated. The study, published in Nature, shows that coastal sea levels are on average eight inches to a foot higher than many global maps and models suggest. The differences are especially large in Southeast Asia and Pacific nations. Scientists have often been working from the wrong starting point when calculating what land and populations might be affected in the future. That matters as policymakers turn to science to understand how much land and how many people may be affected as the world warms and oceans rise. The new study has identified far-reaching problems in the method that researchers often use to understand coastlines and how they might change in a warming climate. It checked 385 other papers and found that less than 1 percent had correctly assessed where sea levels are today. For decades, scientists have used a satellite-based gravitational-field model. However, other instruments can measure real sea level and reveal local differences from factors like currents, winds and tides, which can also influence sea levels but are not included in the gravitational-field model. Scientists can most accurately estimate sea level when both pieces of the puzzle are combined correctly. But the study found that hasn’t been the case. Some 90 percent of the studies relied only on the gravitational-field method. Another 9 percent used both kinds of data but failed to combine them properly. It was 10 years ago, on the shores of the Mekong delta in Southern Vietnam, where Dr. Minderhoud, the senior author of the paper, first realized there may be a difference. He said the study shows that methods of studying sea level rise that seemed to work relatively well for coastlines in Europe or the United States led to bigger gaps in other parts of the world. Torbjorn Tornqvist, a professor at Tulane University who was not involved with the study, said the findings were a real “wake up call” with wide implications. 12. Why is the research finding of great importance? A. It helps improve technologies of measuring sea levels. B. It has persuaded scientists to change research methods. C. It explains why sea levels keep rising around the world. D. It offers policymakers more reliable scientific evidence. 13. What is the big problem with the commonly used method? A. It relies on invalid data. B. It leaves out real local factors. C. It overestimates the risks. D. It ignores the effect of global warming. 14. What can be inferred from Dr. Minderhoud’s experience in Vietnam? A. Local observations are less reliable than satellite data. B. Methods used in Europe may not apply well globally. C. The Mekong delta is the most threatened coastal area. D. Scientists need longer time to detect sea-level changes. 15. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To present a new research finding B. To warn of climate change dangers C. To explain sea-level rising reasons D. To praise satellite research models 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现，指出当前海平面上升研究方法低估了实际水位，影响全球风险评估。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“That matters as policymakers turn to science to understand how much land and how many people may be affected as the world warms and oceans rise.(这一点至关重要，因为政策制定者正借助科学来了解随着全球变暖和海平面上升，可能有多少土地和人口会受到影响)”可知，该研究为政策制定者提供了更准确的科学依据。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, other instruments can measure real sea level and reveal local differences from factors like currents, winds and tides, which can also influence sea levels but are not included in the gravitational-field model.(然而，其他仪器可以测量真实的海平面，并揭示受洋流、风和潮汐等因素影响的局部差异，这些因素也会影响海平面，但并未被纳入重力场模型中)”可知，常用方法的重大缺陷在于忽略了真实的当地影响因素。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“He said the study shows that methods of studying sea level rise that seemed to work relatively well for coastlines in Europe or the United States led to bigger gaps in other parts of the world.(他说，研究表明，那些在欧洲或美国海岸线似乎效果较好的海平面上升研究方法，在世界其他地区却导致了更大的偏差)”可知，适用于欧洲的方法在全球范围内可能并不适用。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。综合全文，结合第一段“New research has found that scientists studying sea-level rise have been using methods that underestimate how high the water already is. One result is that hundreds of millions more people worldwide are already living dangerously close to the rising ocean than previously estimated.(最新研究发现，研究海平面上升的科学家们长期以来使用的方法低估了当前海水的实际高度。其结果是，全球已有数亿人正生活在比此前预估更为危险的近海地带，受影响人数远超先前估计)”可知，文章开篇点出一项新研究的发现，随后详细阐述了该研究的背景、方法缺陷及其重要影响，核心目的是向读者呈现这一新的科研成果。 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How To Kick The Habit of Eating Processed Foods For Good? Basically, we all need a total sweetness reset in everything that we consume. “What I advocate is making small changes to your behaviours and reducing the amount of sugar in your diet systematically,” says Avena. “____16____ People who go cold turkey (突然戒除) may experience headaches, anxiety , sleeplessness and intense cravings”. Follow these expert-approved tips to get you on the right track： ·DO avoid processed foods. “Avoiding processed foods greatly reduce risk for obesity and other diseases,” says Van Horn. Processed foods tend to be items that include ten or more ingredients, often with some you can’t find in your kitchen. ____17____ ·DO read food labels. It’s important to read ingredient lists carefully and watch for different names of sugar. “There are 50-plus names for sugar,” says McBurnett. “It can get very confusing.” ____18____ And when you’re scanning the nutrition facts panel, a daily value (DV) of added sugar is acceptable between 5 percent and 20 percent. ·____19____ Naturally occurring sugars found in milk, fruits and vegetables, are nutritious. All this isn’t to say that you will never again enjoy another slice of birthday cake or an ice-cold drink at the cinema. Your goal doesn’t have to be going completely sugar-free. “Maybe you just want to get to a point where you feel you are at a comfortable level of consumption-as if you’re in control,” says Avena. “____20____” A. DON’T avoid everything sweet. B. DO refuse all the processed foods. C. As a general rule, if it’s an ingredient that ends in ose, it’s sugar. D. Some researches has linked processed foods to negative health outcomes. E. Instead, healthy foods are usually the whole foods you can prepare at home. F. Doing this slowly, over time, is the best approach to avoiding withdrawal symptoms. G. But over time, consuming less added sugar is bound to actually make your life sweeter. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. C 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了如何戒除食用加工食品的习惯，给出了一些专家认可的建议，包括避免加工食品、仔细阅读食品标签以及不要完全避免甜食等。 【16题详解】 根据前文““What I advocate is making small changes to your behaviours and reducing the amount of sugar in your diet systematically,” says Avena.(“我提倡的是在你的行为上做一些小的改变，系统地减少饮食中的糖含量，”Avena说)”以及后文“People who go cold turkey (突然戒除) may experience headaches, anxiety , sleeplessness and intense cravings(突然戒除的人可能会感到头痛、焦虑、失眠和强烈的渴望)”可知，此处是在讲述提倡的是系统地减少饮食中的糖含量，而不是突然戒除，所以F项“Doing this slowly, over time, is the best approach to avoiding withdrawal symptoms.(慢慢地，随着时间的推移，是避免戒断症状的最好方法)”符合文意，承接上文，引出下文，而下文的症状为本句中的戒断症状。故选F项。 【17题详解】 空处位于段尾，是本段的总结句，根据前文“DO avoid processed foods. “Avoiding processed foods greatly reduce risk for obesity and other diseases,” says Van Horn. Processed foods tend to be items that include ten or more ingredients, often with some you can’t find in your kitchen.(避免加工食品。“避免加工食品大大降低了肥胖和其他疾病的风险，”范霍恩说。加工食品往往包含十种或更多的成分，其中一些你在厨房里找不到)”可知，本段讲述不要吃加工食品，所以E项“Instead, healthy foods are usually the whole foods you can prepare at home.(相反，健康食品通常是你可以在家准备的天然食品)”用健康食品和加工食品作对比，和前文构成转折关系，符合文意。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“It’s important to read ingredient lists carefully and watch for different names of sugar. “There are 50-plus names for sugar,” says McBurnett. “It can get very confusing.”(仔细阅读成分表并注意不同名称的糖是很重要的。“糖有50多个名字，”麦克伯内特说。“这可能会非常令人困惑。”)”可知，此处在讲述阅读成分表以及糖的名字很多，所以C项“As a general rule, if it’s an ingredient that ends in ose, it’s sugar.(一般来说，如果一种成分以ose结尾，那就是糖)”是在介绍如何分辨糖的名字，符合文意。故选C项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段首，是本段中心句，根据后文“Naturally occurring sugars found in milk, fruits and vegetables, are nutritious. All this isn’t to say that you will never again enjoy another slice of birthday cake or an ice-cold drink at the cinema. Your goal doesn’t have to be going completely sugar-free.(牛奶、水果和蔬菜中天然存在的糖是有营养的。所有这一切并不是说你再也不会在电影院享受另一片生日蛋糕或一杯冰镇饮料。你的目标不一定是完全无糖)”可知，本段讲述你的目标不一定是完全无糖，所以A项“DON’T avoid everything sweet.(不要回避所有甜的东西)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据前文““Maybe you just want to get to a point where you feel you are at a comfortable level of consumption-as if you’re in control,” says Avena.(阿文纳说：“也许你只是想达到一个让自己感觉舒适的糖分摄入水平，就好像一切尽在掌控之中。”)”可知，此处是在讲述，你控制糖分的摄入就可以了，所以G项“But over time, consuming less added sugar is bound to actually make your life sweeter.(但是随着时间的推移，减少摄入添加糖必然会让你的生活更加甜蜜)”和前文构成转折关系，但是减少摄入添加糖必然会让你的生活更加甜蜜，符合语境。故选G项。 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 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Bunny Shaw collects all the old football boots her Manchester City teammates don’t want.

Leo and Sam were partners. They chose a little hamster (仓鼠) with soft brown fur and shiny black eyes. Its tiny paws (爪子) and a little pink nose made it even more lovely. They named it Peanut. They took turns feeding Peanut, cleaning its cage, and making sure it had fresh water. Leo liked to let Peanut run inside a plastic ball in the classroom. Sam liked to hold Peanut gently in his hands. The little hamster became the star of the class. Everyone stopped by their desk to say hello. Some classmates even brought small vegetable pieces to feed it, and Peanut would eat gently. Last Friday, it was Leo’s turn to clean the cage. He took Peanut out and put it on the desk while he washed the plastic bottom. But Peanut got scared and jumped off the desk. By the time Leo turned around, Peanut was gone. Leo’s hands shook as he searched eagerly, his eyes filled with panic and regret. “Sam! Peanut ran away!” Leo shouted. Sam rushed over. His face turned red. “You left Peanut on the desk? Are you crazy?” Leo felt bad, but he also got angry. “You left the cage door unlocked yesterday! It’s your fault too!” Sam shook his head. “I did not! You are just trying to blame me!” They searched under desks, behind bookshelves, and inside backpacks. No Peanut. The bell rang for the next class. Sam said, “This is your mess. You find him.” He walked away. Leo stood alone, his heart heavy. For the rest of the day, they didn’t speak. Sam sat in the front, Leo sat in the back. The empty cage sat between them like a wall. After school, they both stayed behind and Leo looked under every desk again. Nothing. He was about to give up when he heard a tiny scratching sound. It came from the corner near the bookshelf. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Leo immediately ran to the bookshelf. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Picking Peanut up, Leo and Sam looked at each other, both with a guilty look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Immediately, Leo rushed to the bookshelf. He carefully bent down and stared closely at the dark corner. To their great relief, Peanut was huddled there, trembling slightly. Its soft fur was covered with dust, and its shiny black eyes looked scared. Sam held his breath and slowly knelt down beside Leo. Neither of them made a sound, afraid of frightening the little hamster away. After a short while, Peanut gradually calmed down and stopped scratching the wall. The two boys exchanged a quiet glance, all the anger between them fading away instantly. Picking Peanut up, Leo and Sam looked at each other, both with a guilty look. They realized that quarreling with each other was the silliest thing in the world. Leo apologized sincerely for his carelessness, and Sam also admitted that he should not have lost his temper and blamed Leo blindly. They wiped the dust off Peanut’s fur gently and put it back into the clean cage. Watching Peanut eat sunflower seeds cutely, they made an agreement to take better care of it together. The empty cage that once separated them now became a bridge connecting their friendship, making it stronger than ever before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了搭档Leo和Sam共同细心照料仓鼠的故事，起初两人感情和睦，但一次Leo清理笼子时不慎导致仓鼠受惊逃走，二人互相指责、爆发争吵，陷入冷战。放学后两人独自留校寻找仓鼠，Leo偶然听见书架角落传来抓挠声响，续写围绕两人合力找到仓鼠、化解矛盾、重修友谊展开。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Leo冲到书架角落，发现蜷缩发抖、满身灰尘的仓鼠，Sam也赶来蹲在一旁，两人刻意保持安静避免惊扰小动物，对视瞬间怒气全部消散。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写两人满心愧疚彼此诚恳道歉，共同清理仓鼠身上灰尘并将其放回笼子，约定今后共同用心照料，曾经隔阂的笼子成为加固友谊的纽带。 2. 续写线索： 闻声奔赴角落→发现受惊仓鼠→二人屏息守护→怒气悄然消散→共同抱起仓鼠→互相道歉反思→细心安置宠物→约定共同照料→友谊愈发牢固 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 蜷缩：huddle/ curl up ② 颤抖：tremble/ shake 情绪类 ① 害怕的：scared/ frightened ② 愤怒：anger/ rage 【点睛】【高分句型1】To their great relief, Peanut was huddled there, trembling slightly.(运用了现在分词短语trembling slightly作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】The empty cage that once separated them now became a bridge connecting their friendship, making it stronger than ever before.(运用了that引导的限制性定语从句，现在分词短语connecting their friendship作后置定语和现在分词短语making it stronger than ever before作结果状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第二学期期末学业质量测试 高中英语试题 注意事项： 1．本试卷分听力和笔试两部分。考生先作答听力部分（1-20 小题），然后作答笔试部分（21小题开始）。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和考生号填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在相应位置。本试卷满分150 分，考试时间 120 分钟。 2．考生将听力部分答案写在英语听力答题卡上，笔试部分答案写在英语笔试试题卡上。写在试卷上无效。 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。 例： How much is the shirt?

B Now an occupational college teacher, 20-year-old Shao Rupeng won China’s first joinery gold at the 2022 WorldSkills Competition and was honored as a “Shanghai Craftsman” in 2025. Shao’s fascination with woodworking began in his childhood. In 2018, Shao began studying construction engineering at Shanghai City Science and Technology School. He joined the school’s woodworking club. The initial training was basic and repetitive, involving day after day of cutting straight lines and carving mortises (榫眼). His effort paid off. After six months of basic training, Shao stood out among 35 students and was selected for the school’s elite team for the WorldSkills competitions. In the competition team, Shao gradually got familiar with dozens of tools and practiced new high-standard techniques every day. One of the biggest challenges Shao faced was perfecting the precision of traditional Chinese sunmao joints. This technique requires that the gap between two wooden pieces be less than 0.2 millimeters. “If even the measurement of one part is off, it affects the entire piece,” he explained. Shao also paid much attention to the internal structure of his work, striving to make it as perfect as the 3D models created in software. His pursuit of perfection won him top marks and the competition’s woodworking gold medal at the WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition. At the end of 2022, Shao transitioned from being a student to a coach at his school. “It’s difficult to teach the ‘feel’ of woodworking,” Shao said. “I can only instruct them on the methods — the rest they must learn through practice.” While Shao encourages his students to make good use of modern technology to handle repetitive tasks, he stresses that it is human creativity that “transforms a piece of wood into something truly unique”. “Craftsmanship can be described with many positive words, but for me, it’s all about creating with your hands,” he said. 4. What does the underlined word “elite” in paragraph 2 mean? A. common. B. united. C. outstanding. D. amateur. 5. What major obstacle did Shao encounter for the world competitions in the team? A. Learning to use hundreds of different tools. B. Keeping the accuracy of wooden joints. C. Creating lifelike 3D models with software. D. Teaching students the sense of woodworking. 6. What can we conclude from Shao’s words on teaching woodworking? A. Technology outweighs creative thinking in woodwork. B. Precise skills help create unique wooden works. C. Practical experience matters to grasp woodworking sense. D. Coaches can pass on all woodworking skills in class. 7. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Carving His Way to Gold. B. Mastering Ancient Wooden Joints. C. Making Good Use of Modern Tools. D. Passing Down Woodworking Skills. C As the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off across the United States, Canada and Mexico, another competition has been quietly emerging — off the field. Several Chinese large language models including Qwen, DeepSeek and Kimi have stepped up to predict match results, turning the world’s largest sporting event into an unexpected testing ground for AI-powered reasoning and data analysis. Several AI platforms have come up with creative campaigns. For instance, Moonshot AI’s Kimi has launched a 1-trillion-token reward for correctly predicting match winners and the final champion. However, the World Cup has also exposed the limitations of current AI models when it comes to analyzing and predicting the results of sporting events. For example, before the Group C match between Brazil and Morocco, major large language models confidently predicted a Brazilian victory, based on historical records and data. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. “As one of the most-watched sporting events across the globe, the World Cup offers AI companies a rare opportunity to showcase the computing power and analytical skills to a wider audience, but soccer matches are influenced by many factors in the physical world, and such variables (变量) are highly uncertain and difficult to quantify using fixed AI models, making precise predictions challenging.” said Guo Tao, a member of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and a senior expert in AI. Asked why tech companies are rolling out AI prediction features for sports when the accuracy rate is relatively low, experts said the trend partly reflects the growing pressure of competition across the industry. While artificial intelligence has grown extremely powerful in the digital world, the physical world — with all its unpredictability — remains largely beyond its reach. As the AI technology matures, simply competing on the size parameter (参数) is not enough, so the market should pay less attention to how large a model is and more attention to whether it can deliver valuable services in real-world situations and solve practical problems for users. 8. Why is the 2026 FIFA World Cup seen as “an unexpected testing ground” for AI? A. It lets AI platforms test match prediction. B. It is a big sports event hosted by three nations. C. It provides big rewards for new AI models. D. It helps AI correct sports data errors. 9. What can be learned from the Brazil-Morocco match result? A. Most football games end in draws unexpectedly. B. AI fails to collect enough sports statistics. C. Statistical data mean nothing to match analysis. D. Historical data cannot guarantee accurate predictions. 10. What is Guo Tao’s attitude toward AI’s ability to predict sports events? A. optimistic B. skeptical C. disapproving D. objective 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI can predict all real-world events accurately. B. Big AI models are useless in modern market. C. Practical service ability for AI matters more. D. Model size still decides an AI model’s value. D New research has found that scientists studying sea-level rise have been using methods that underestimate how high the water already is. One result is that hundreds of millions more people worldwide are already living dangerously close to the rising ocean than previously estimated. The study, published in Nature, shows that coastal sea levels are on average eight inches to a foot higher than many global maps and models suggest. The differences are especially large in Southeast Asia and Pacific nations. Scientists have often been working from the wrong starting point when calculating what land and populations might be affected in the future. That matters as policymakers turn to science to understand how much land and how many people may be affected as the world warms and oceans rise. The new study has identified far-reaching problems in the method that researchers often use to understand coastlines and how they might change in a warming climate. It checked 385 other papers and found that less than 1 percent had correctly assessed where sea levels are today. For decades, scientists have used a satellite-based gravitational-field model. However, other instruments can measure real sea level and reveal local differences from factors like currents, winds and tides, which can also influence sea levels but are not included in the gravitational-field model. Scientists can most accurately estimate sea level when both pieces of the puzzle are combined correctly. But the study found that hasn’t been the case. Some 90 percent of the studies relied only on the gravitational-field method. Another 9 percent used both kinds of data but failed to combine them properly. It was 10 years ago, on the shores of the Mekong delta in Southern Vietnam, where Dr. Minderhoud, the senior author of the paper, first realized there may be a difference. He said the study shows that methods of studying sea level rise that seemed to work relatively well for coastlines in Europe or the United States led to bigger gaps in other parts of the world. Torbjorn Tornqvist, a professor at Tulane University who was not involved with the study, said the findings were a real “wake up call” with wide implications. 12. Why is the research finding of great importance? A. It helps improve technologies of measuring sea levels. B. It has persuaded scientists to change research methods. C. It explains why sea levels keep rising around the world. D. It offers policymakers more reliable scientific evidence. 13. What is the big problem with the commonly used method? A. It relies on invalid data. B. It leaves out real local factors. C. It overestimates the risks. D. It ignores the effect of global warming. 14. What can be inferred from Dr. Minderhoud’s experience in Vietnam? A. Local observations are less reliable than satellite data. B. Methods used in Europe may not apply well globally. C. The Mekong delta is the most threatened coastal area. D. Scientists need longer time to detect sea-level changes. 15. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To present a new research finding B. To warn of climate change dangers C. To explain sea-level rising reasons D. To praise satellite research models 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How To Kick The Habit of Eating Processed Foods For Good?

Leo and Sam were partners. They chose a little hamster (仓鼠) with soft brown fur and shiny black eyes. Its tiny paws (爪子) and a little pink nose made it even more lovely. They named it Peanut. They took turns feeding Peanut, cleaning its cage, and making sure it had fresh water. Leo liked to let Peanut run inside a plastic ball in the classroom. Sam liked to hold Peanut gently in his hands. The little hamster became the star of the class. Everyone stopped by their desk to say hello. Some classmates even brought small vegetable pieces to feed it, and Peanut would eat gently. Last Friday, it was Leo’s turn to clean the cage. He took Peanut out and put it on the desk while he washed the plastic bottom. But Peanut got scared and jumped off the desk. By the time Leo turned around, Peanut was gone. Leo’s hands shook as he searched eagerly, his eyes filled with panic and regret. “Sam! Peanut ran away!” Leo shouted. Sam rushed over. His face turned red. “You left Peanut on the desk? Are you crazy?” Leo felt bad, but he also got angry. “You left the cage door unlocked yesterday! It’s your fault too!” Sam shook his head. “I did not! You are just trying to blame me!” They searched under desks, behind bookshelves, and inside backpacks. No Peanut. The bell rang for the next class. Sam said, “This is your mess. You find him.” He walked away. Leo stood alone, his heart heavy. For the rest of the day, they didn’t speak. Sam sat in the front, Leo sat in the back. The empty cage sat between them like a wall. After school, they both stayed behind and Leo looked under every desk again. Nothing. He was about to give up when he heard a tiny scratching sound. It came from the corner near the bookshelf. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Leo immediately ran to the bookshelf. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Picking Peanut up, Leo and Sam looked at each other, both with a guilty look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
