Guests are also given the opportunity to create their own self-guided programs.(为了提升这种非凡的体验，这里的每个庄园都配备了专门的团队，包括房屋经理、厨师、司机和女佣，为您的每一项需求提供量身定制的完美服务。客人也有机会创建自己的自主项目)”可知，Zihfit的三月项目提供个性化的服务。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“4-Night Retreat”下的“Mi Casa one-bedroom villa: Single occupancy: $7,400 (Mi Casa一居室别墅：单人间：7400美元)”以及“All rate doesn’t include a 15% service charge.(所有价格均不包含15%的服务费)”可知，总费用为7400 + 7400×15% = 8510美元。故选A项。 B For years, the 3:00 PM school pickup was not a joyful reunion, but a constant exercise in emotional strength. It was a routine of small hopes quietly disappearing. Every single day, as my 11-year-old son, Leo, buckled his seat-belt, I would offer the same cheerful, practiced query: “How was your day?” And every single day, for years, the response was a carbon copy: “Fine, fine.” It was always delivered to the dashboard, to the window, to anywhere but me. No eye contact. No change in his voice. His autism (自闭症) created a sort of glass wall between us. Through it, I could see my boy, but I could never quite feel him reach back. The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy. I had quietly begun to accept that this silent barrier was simply our forever. But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?” He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it. Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?” The world seemed to stop spinning. The simple question — that tiny bridge he had built all on his own from his world to mine — was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It wasn’t just words; it was the answer to years of unseen patience My breath caught, and tears, hot and uncontrollable, streamed down my face. I gave him the only truth I had, “It’s really good, Leo.” I said, my voice cracking. “It’s the best day ever.” 4. Why did the mother keep asking her son the same question for years? A. She tried to cheer her son up. B. She enjoyed their daily routine. C. She longed for a real interaction. D. She felt sorry for her son’s condition. 5. What does the underlined word “apathy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Lack of interest. B. Loss of memory. C. Sign of respect. D. Sense of peace. 6. What made the spring afternoon unusual for the mother? A. Leo buckled his seat-belt himself. B. Leo showed active concern for her. C. Leo caught sight of her sudden tears. D. Leo listened to her with great patience. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Clear Eyes, Full Heart B. Talk More, Love Better C. The Answer to Education D. A Reward of Patience 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述一位母亲多年来每天下午3点接患有自闭症的儿子放学，每次问儿子“今天过得怎么样”，得到的都是冷漠回应，母子间仿佛隔着玻璃墙。但在一个早春下午，儿子不仅回答“很好”，还主动询问母亲的一天，这一转变让母亲感受到多年耐心付出得到回报，体现了亲情与耐心的力量。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy.(其他父母似乎不假思索就能享受的轻松、简单的交流对我来说就像一场梦。我感觉自己多年的爱都倾注到了一个空洞里，我不断的努力得到的却是平静却令人心碎的冷漠回应)”可知，母亲多年来一直问儿子同一个问题，是渴望与儿子有真正的互动交流。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy.(我感觉自己多年的深情都倾注在了一片虚无之中，我日复一日的付出，换来的是一种平静却令人心碎的apathy)”可知，母亲多年付出爱却好像倾注到空洞里，得到令人心碎的回应，结合前文儿子每次冷漠回应，不与母亲眼神交流等，可推测“apathy”意思为“缺乏兴趣，冷漠”。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?”(但那个初春的午后有些不一样。我问出了那句熟悉的话，本不抱有任何期待。“利奥，你今天过得怎么样？”)”以及第四段“He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it.(他系上安全带。“挺好，挺好。” 他说道。 这次回答和往常不一样，但我几乎来不及反应过来)”并结合第五段“Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?”(随后，他转过身。仿佛时隔漫长岁月，利奥第一次直视着我。他的眼神清澈、专注，真切地看着我。 “妈妈，你今天过得怎么样？”)”可知，以往儿子对母亲的询问冷漠回应，而这个早春下午，儿子不仅改变回答，还主动问母亲“你今天过得怎么样，妈妈？”，这种主动对母亲的关心让这个下午变得不同寻常。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。主要讲述一位母亲多年来每天下午3点接患有自闭症的儿子放学，每次问儿子“今天过得怎么样”，得到的都是冷漠回应，母子间仿佛隔着玻璃墙。但在一个早春下午，儿子不仅回答“很好”，还主动询问母亲的一天，这一转变让母亲感受到多年耐心付出得到回报，体现了亲情与耐心的力量。所以D选项“A Reward of Patience”(耐心的回报)最适合作为文章标题。 C Is it possible to bring back animals that are extinct? Can we revive (复活) the species that once existed on the earth? Well, it is a very tricky process but not impossible. We have made major advancements in using certain technologies to copy or culture DNA. Every animal species has a specific genetic impression in its DNA. To revive ancient extinct animals, the first thing we will need is their DNA samples. We will have to take out their DNA in sound form. Only the most significant DNA samples will increase the chance of reviving these animals. Put simply, we need 100% genetic information or genome (基因组) to bring back a species. Even if it is 95%, we will not be able to process it. A genome is like a book. We cannot lose any of its chapters. The biggest issue is that when an animal dies, its genome starts to break down due to natural causes. We have learned that it takes 521 years on average for 50% degradation of an animal’s DNA. Therefore, it is very hard to create and de-extinct animals we lost in the prehistoric era. We have found excellent fossils of mammoths(猛犸象化石). One such example is Yuka. It is a mammoth fossil that existed 39,000 years ago in Siberia. Even if we take out its fullest genome, there is a chance that we will not be able to make extinct animals alive. As the mammoths developed from such a genome will be of the same kind, they will tend to develop serious diseases. Therefore, to revive a species, we need genetic diversity. This diversity creates stronger species and the probability of survival increases. Actually, even the best naturally restored samples will not contain the full genome or genetic impression of a species. That is the point that all the researchers should make efforts to achieve. 8. How does the idea of reviving animals sound according to paragraph 1? A. Tricky and unachievable. B. Specific and unnecessary. C. Difficult but possible. D. Easy but time-consuming. 9. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To offer the analysis of genetic information. B. To tell the discovery of genetic information. C. To explain the basis for reviving extinct animals. D. To introduce the tool for reviving extinct animals. 10. What is implied in the example of Yuka? A. Siberia served as its best habitat. B. Collecting its genome is difficult. C. Degradation of its genes is unavoidable. D. Genetic uniformity lowers its life quality. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward reviving prehistoric extinct animals? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Confident. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了复活灭绝动物难度大但并非不可能，核心是完整基因组。古生物DNA易降解，单一基因会使个体多病，研究者仍需攻克获取完整多样基因样本的难题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Well, it is a very tricky process but not impossible. We have made major advancements in using certain technologies to copy or culture DNA.(虽然这是一个非常棘手的过程，但并非不可能。我们在利用某些技术复制或培养DNA方面取得了重大进展。)”可知，复活动物的想法听起来困难但可行。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“To revive ancient extinct animals, the first thing we will need is their DNA samples. We will have to take out their DNA in sound form. Only the most significant DNA samples will increase the chance of reviving these animals. Put simply, we need 100% genetic information or genome (基因组) to bring back a species. Even if it is 95%, we will not be able to process it. A genome is like a book. We cannot lose any of its chapters.( 要复活远古灭绝的动物，首先我们需要它们的DNA样本。我们必须以完整状态提取这些DNA。只有最重要的DNA样本才能提高复活这些动物的成功几率。简单来说，我们需要100%的基因信息或全基因组，才能复活一个物种。即使只有95%，也无法进行处理。基因组就像一本书，我们不能丢失其中任何一章。)”可推知，第二段的作用是解释复活灭绝动物的基础。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As the mammoths developed from such a genome will be of the same kind, they will tend to develop serious diseases.(由于从这样一个基因组中进化出来的猛犸象将是同类，它们将倾向于患上严重的疾病。)”以及第四段中“Therefore, to revive a species, we need genetic diversity. This diversity creates stronger species and the probability of survival increases.(因此，要复活一个物种，我们需要遗传多样性。这种多样性能够使物种更强壮，生存几率也随之提高。)”可推知，Yuka的例子暗示了遗传单一性降低了其生存质量。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“Actually, even the best naturally restored samples will not contain the full genome or genetic impression of a species. That is the point that all the researchers should make efforts to achieve.(事实上，即便是经过自然恢复的最佳样本，也无法包含一个物种的完整基因组或遗传特征。这正是所有研究人员应努力实现的目标。)”可知，作者指出复活灭绝动物过程棘手，面临DNA自然降解、史前物种基因组难以完整保存、基因单一导致疾病等多重技术瓶颈，且目前完整基因组的获取仍是研究难点，对复活史前灭绝动物持怀疑态度。 D I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet. Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of politeness, patience and empathy (共情). In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept. 13. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show? A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels. C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships. 14. What does Maimonides’ words mainly stress? A. We should show goodness on important festivals. B. One large donation can help more poor people. C. We ought to give money to those in need around us. D. Small and frequent good deeds matter more. 15. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Politeness to AI wastes electricity bills. B. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. C. AI improves the quality of human life. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨了人们对AI说“请”和“谢谢”的现象，指出虽然AI没有情感，但这种礼貌行为能通过养成感恩和善良的习惯提升人类自身的幸福感与身心健康，最终受益者是人类自己。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. (我经常发现自己对AI聊天机器人提问时带着“请”和“谢谢”。显然，我并不孤单。2024年的一项调查发现，大约67%的美国AI用户也对AI搜索引擎保持礼貌并表达感谢。)”可知，作者通过呈现向AI保持礼貌并表达感谢的现象引出文章话题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. (10周后，他们发现第一组报告称自身幸福水平高出25%，内心力量更强，身体健康状况也更佳。)”可知，实验表明感恩增强了我们的身心。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit. (中世纪思想家迈蒙尼德写道：“一个人给一千个穷人每人一枚硬币，比给一个穷人一千枚硬币更好。”他认为，频繁的善行，比如慈善捐赠和表达感激，通过将美德变成习惯，从长远来看会让我们更快乐。)”可知，迈蒙尼德的话强调微小而频繁的善举更重要。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of politeness, patience and empathy (共情). In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves.(表达感激，哪怕是对着一台机器，也能强化礼貌、耐心和共情的良好习惯。在我们这个愈发数字化、自动化的世界里，守住这些人类特质或许比多消耗一点电量的代价更有价值。最终，我们礼貌举止的受益者根本不是人工智能，而是我们自己。)”可知，作者认为礼貌有益于人类而非AI。 第二节 七选五 (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。 It started with a whisper. “Everyone else got one,” my daughter said to me, her eyes locked on the floor. “I was the only one who didn’t.” ____16____ The one everyone was talking about in the lunch line and on the walk home. The one that she heard would have unlimited cupcakes. The one she didn’t get an invitation to. There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that happens when your child feels excluded (排除在外的). You don’t just witness their disappointment; you absorb it.____17____“I’m sure it wasn’t personal,” I said softly. “Sometimes kids are only allowed to invite a few people.” But the words felt weak, like a Band-Aid on a big and deep cut. This experience could have easily been about how to handle exclusion as a parent — how to build resilience (韧性). But what I've learned is less clean than that.____18____You can’t smooth every rough edge. Sometimes, your job is just to sit beside your kid in the thick of it. To let them cry.to let yourself feel angry, and to know that fixing it isn’t always the assignment. ____19____She wrote a little note for the birthday kid. “Happy birthday,” it read. “Hope you have fun.” No bitterness. Just kindness. My daughter, in all her smallness, did what I hadn’t even figured out how to do yet: move forward without letting the hurt define her. And maybe that's the only real takeaway I have. That sometimes, our kids teach us the wisdom we’re still trying to learn. She never got that invitation. But what we gained quietly was something else: the chance to walk through disappointment together, hand in hand.____20____ A. After all, honesty is the best policy. B. Part of parenting is being powerless. C. At first, I tried to say something to comfort her. D. I encouraged her to show forgiveness to the kid. E. And that, to me, feels like something worth celebrating. F. The birthday party was definitely to be one to remember. G. What surprised me most was what happened the next day. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女儿因未收到生日派对邀请而失落，作者从中领悟到为人父母有时需陪伴孩子面对困境，且孩子的善意举动反而教会作者成长，母女共同收获了面对失望的力量。 【16题详解】 根据下文“The one everyone was talking about in the lunch line and on the walk home. (午餐排队时、放学回家的路上，所有人都在谈论它。)”可推测，这个生日派对得到很多人的关注。选项F“The birthday party was definitely to be one to remember. (这个生日派对绝对是值得记住的一场。)”符合下文对派对的具体描述，逻辑连贯。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据下文““I’m sure it wasn’t personal,” I said softly. “Sometimes kids are only allowed to invite a few people.” But the words felt weak, like a Band-Aid on a big and deep cut. (“我肯定这不是针对你，”我轻声说，“有时候，孩子们只能邀请少数几个人。”可这些话苍白无力，就像在一道又深又大的伤口上贴了张创可贴。)”可知，作者觉得自己的这些话很无力，像在深伤口上贴创可贴。由此可推测，空格处应体现作者试图安慰女儿的动作。选项C“At first, I tried to say something to comfort her. (起初，我试着说些话安慰她。)”直接引出后文的安慰话语，符合“先尝试安慰，再描述安慰内容及效果”的逻辑顺序。故选C。 【18题详解】 上文“This experience could have easily been about how to handle exclusion as a parent — how to build resilience (韧性). But what I've learned is less clean than that. (这段经历本可以变成一堂 “父母如何应对孩子被排斥、如何培养孩子韧性”的课程。但我从中领悟到的，远比这更复杂。)”指出这段经历本可以聚焦父母如何应对孩子被排斥、如何培养韧性，然而作者领悟到的更多；而下文“You can’t smooth every rough edge. Sometimes, your job is just to sit beside your kid in the thick of it. (你无法抚平生活所有的棱角，有时你的职责，不过是在孩子深陷困境时，静静陪在她身边。)”进一步说明父母有时候只能在困境中陪在孩子身边。选项B“Part of parenting is being powerless. (为人父母，有时本就有无能为力的时候。)”精准概括这一核心，衔接后文父母无法解决所有问题，只能陪伴的具体阐述，符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 上文描述作者和女儿面对被排斥的当下感受与应对；而下文“She wrote a little note for the birthday kid. “Happy birthday,” it read. “Hope you have fun.” No bitterness. Just kindness. (女儿给举办生日派对的那个孩子写了张小纸条，上面写着：“生日快乐，愿你玩得开心。”没有丝毫怨怼，满是善意。)”转而讲述了女儿的善意之举。选项G“What surprised me most was what happened the next day. (最让我意外的是第二天发生的事。)”承上启下，既引出“后续事件”，又通过“surprised”暗示女儿行为的意外性，自然衔接后文的善意举动，逻辑转折合理。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“She never got that invitation. But what we gained quietly was something else: the chance to walk through disappointment together, hand in hand. (女儿终究没收到那场派对的邀请函。但我们却悄悄收获了别的东西：一次携手并肩、共同走过失望的机会。)”总结了虽然女儿没收到邀请，但母女俩共同获得了携手面对失望的机会。选项E“And that, to me, feels like something worth celebrating. (而在我看来，这份收获，足以值得庆祝。)”中“that”指代前文“共同面对失望的机会”，肯定了这段经历的意义，呼应全文“孩子教会父母智慧”的核心主旨，为文章收尾，情感积极且逻辑完整。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 (共四节，满分45分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 My childhood was mostly silent.

I noticed a common phenomenon that many visitors were busy taking photos and videos of artworks. Some even lingered in front of paintings for a long time just to take perfect shots, which blocked other visitors and ruined the viewing experience. In my opinion, this behavior is inappropriate. Art is meant to be appreciated with hearts rather than simply recorded by cameras. Fixing eyes on screens makes us ignore the artists’ emotions and the profound cultural value behind works. Therefore, I call on everyone to put down electronic devices. Let’s immerse ourselves in art, respect every artwork and truly feel the beauty of art with our souls. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生结合参观美术馆的所见所闻，阐述观众过度拍照打卡的不良现象，发表个人看法并发出文明观展的呼吁。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 逗留：linger→tarry 观点：opinion→perspective 欣赏：appreciate→admire 呼吁：call on→appeal to 2. 句式拓展 同义句替换 原句：Art is meant to be appreciated with hearts rather than simply recorded by cameras. 拓展句：We should taste the charm of art with our hearts instead of merely taking photos for show. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Some even lingered in front of paintings for a long time just to take perfect shots, which blocked other visitors and ruined the viewing experience.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Fixing eyes on screens makes us ignore the artists’ emotions and the profound cultural value behind works.（运用了动词动名词作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省锡山高级中学2025 — 2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高一英语试卷 (本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A As the spring approaches, there’s no better time to reset your body, mind, and spirit.

B For years, the 3:00 PM school pickup was not a joyful reunion, but a constant exercise in emotional strength. It was a routine of small hopes quietly disappearing. Every single day, as my 11-year-old son, Leo, buckled his seat-belt, I would offer the same cheerful, practiced query: “How was your day?” And every single day, for years, the response was a carbon copy: “Fine, fine.” It was always delivered to the dashboard, to the window, to anywhere but me. No eye contact. No change in his voice. His autism (自闭症) created a sort of glass wall between us. Through it, I could see my boy, but I could never quite feel him reach back. The easy, simple talk that other parents seem to enjoy without a second thought felt like a dream. I felt like I was pouring years of love into an empty space, my constant efforts met with a peaceful, yet heartbreaking, apathy. I had quietly begun to accept that this silent barrier was simply our forever. But that early spring afternoon was unusual. I asked the same question, expecting nothing. “How was your day, Leo?” He buckled his belt. “Good, good.” he said. A change from the script, but I barely had time to register it. Then, he turned. For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, Leo looked directly at me. His eyes were clear, focused, and present. “How was your day, Mom?” The world seemed to stop spinning. The simple question — that tiny bridge he had built all on his own from his world to mine — was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It wasn’t just words; it was the answer to years of unseen patience My breath caught, and tears, hot and uncontrollable, streamed down my face. I gave him the only truth I had, “It’s really good, Leo.” I said, my voice cracking. “It’s the best day ever.” 4. Why did the mother keep asking her son the same question for years? A. She tried to cheer her son up. B. She enjoyed their daily routine. C. She longed for a real interaction. D. She felt sorry for her son’s condition. 5. What does the underlined word “apathy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Lack of interest. B. Loss of memory. C. Sign of respect. D. Sense of peace. 6. What made the spring afternoon unusual for the mother? A. Leo buckled his seat-belt himself. B. Leo showed active concern for her. C. Leo caught sight of her sudden tears. D. Leo listened to her with great patience. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Clear Eyes, Full Heart B. Talk More, Love Better C. The Answer to Education D. A Reward of Patience C Is it possible to bring back animals that are extinct? Can we revive (复活) the species that once existed on the earth? Well, it is a very tricky process but not impossible. We have made major advancements in using certain technologies to copy or culture DNA. Every animal species has a specific genetic impression in its DNA. To revive ancient extinct animals, the first thing we will need is their DNA samples. We will have to take out their DNA in sound form. Only the most significant DNA samples will increase the chance of reviving these animals. Put simply, we need 100% genetic information or genome (基因组) to bring back a species. Even if it is 95%, we will not be able to process it. A genome is like a book. We cannot lose any of its chapters. The biggest issue is that when an animal dies, its genome starts to break down due to natural causes. We have learned that it takes 521 years on average for 50% degradation of an animal’s DNA. Therefore, it is very hard to create and de-extinct animals we lost in the prehistoric era. We have found excellent fossils of mammoths(猛犸象化石). One such example is Yuka. It is a mammoth fossil that existed 39,000 years ago in Siberia. Even if we take out its fullest genome, there is a chance that we will not be able to make extinct animals alive. As the mammoths developed from such a genome will be of the same kind, they will tend to develop serious diseases. Therefore, to revive a species, we need genetic diversity. This diversity creates stronger species and the probability of survival increases. Actually, even the best naturally restored samples will not contain the full genome or genetic impression of a species. That is the point that all the researchers should make efforts to achieve. 8. How does the idea of reviving animals sound according to paragraph 1? A. Tricky and unachievable. B. Specific and unnecessary. C. Difficult but possible. D. Easy but time-consuming. 9. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To offer the analysis of genetic information. B. To tell the discovery of genetic information. C. To explain the basis for reviving extinct animals. D. To introduce the tool for reviving extinct animals. 10. What is implied in the example of Yuka? A. Siberia served as its best habitat. B. Collecting its genome is difficult. C. Degradation of its genes is unavoidable. D. Genetic uniformity lowers its life quality. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward reviving prehistoric extinct animals? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Confident. D I often catch myself asking my questions to AI chatbots with a “please” and a “thank you.” Apparently, I am not alone. A 2024 survey found that approximately 67% of U.S. AI users are also polite and show gratitude toward AI search engines. Some even joked about the cost: if every polite word consumes electricity, the bill must be high. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman replied: “Tens of millions of dollars well spent — you never know.” In reality, of course, AI chatbots do not appreciate politeness; they lack consciousness, feelings or social needs. From a purely utilitarian (功利主义的) standpoint, all those pleases and thank yous are just flushing money down the toilet. Still, there may be value that isn’t immediately measurable in showing gratitude toward AI. Psychologists Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough carried out an experiment in which they divided participants into three groups, asking the first to list things they are grateful for, while others listed daily troubles or simply kept journals. After 10 weeks, they found that the first group reported 25% higher happiness levels, stronger inner strength and even better physical health. What’s true of gratitude is also true of kindness and generosity more generally. Experiments at UC Riverside found that performing “five small acts of kindness per week” produced steady increases in happiness. This idea isn’t new. The medieval thinker Maimonides wrote that “it is better for a person to give one coin to a thousand poor people than to give a thousand coins to one poor person.” He believed that regular acts of goodness, like giving charity and expressing gratitude, make us happier in the long run by turning virtue into a habit. So perhaps all of our pleases and thank yous to AI have value, even if they cost OpenAI millions of dollars annually. Showing appreciation, even toward a machine, reinforces positive habits of politeness, patience and empathy (共情). In our increasingly digital and automated world, preserving these human qualities may be more valuable than the cost of a little extra electricity. Ultimately, the beneficiary of our politeness isn’t the AI at all, but ourselves. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By quoting an expert. B. By telling a story. C. By presenting a phenomenon. D. By defining a concept. 13. What value of gratitude does the experiment in paragraph 3 show? A. It strengthens our bodies and minds. B. It reduces daily stress levels. C. It improves memory and creativity. D. It deepens social relationships. 14. What does Maimonides’ words mainly stress? A. We should show goodness on important festivals. B. One large donation can help more poor people. C. We ought to give money to those in need around us. D. Small and frequent good deeds matter more. 15. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Politeness to AI wastes electricity bills. B. Politeness benefits humans rather than AI. C. AI improves the quality of human life. D. AI learns empathy from human behavior. 第二节 七选五 (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。 It started with a whisper. “Everyone else got one,” my daughter said to me, her eyes locked on the floor. “I was the only one who didn’t.” ____16____ The one everyone was talking about in the lunch line and on the walk home. The one that she heard would have unlimited cupcakes. The one she didn’t get an invitation to. There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that happens when your child feels excluded (排除在外的). You don’t just witness their disappointment; you absorb it.____17____“I’m sure it wasn’t personal,” I said softly. “Sometimes kids are only allowed to invite a few people.” But the words felt weak, like a Band-Aid on a big and deep cut.

But what I've learned is less clean than that.____18____You can’t smooth every rough edge. Sometimes, your job is just to sit beside your kid in the thick of it. To let them cry.to let yourself feel angry, and to know that fixing it isn’t always the assignment. ____19____She wrote a little note for the birthday kid. “Happy birthday,” it read. “Hope you have fun.” No bitterness. Just kindness. My daughter, in all her smallness, did what I hadn’t even figured out how to do yet: move forward without letting the hurt define her. And maybe that's the only real takeaway I have. That sometimes, our kids teach us the wisdom we’re still trying to learn. She never got that invitation. But what we gained quietly was something else: the chance to walk through disappointment together, hand in hand.____20____ A. After all, honesty is the best policy. B. Part of parenting is being powerless. C. At first, I tried to say something to comfort her. D. I encouraged her to show forgiveness to the kid. E. And that, to me, feels like something worth celebrating. F. The birthday party was definitely to be one to remember. G. What surprised me most was what happened the next day. 第三部分 语言运用 (共四节，满分45分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 My childhood was mostly silent.
