B I was born in 2010 in the countryside, which may be why I always felt a little out of step with the times. Throughout my childhood, I had never seen tall buildings or had a smartphone. The old computer we had at home was my only window to the online world, which I began exploring at the age of 8. My parents were busy during the day, so surfing the internet was a big deal for me. I always turned off the computer before they got home to let it cool down and hide what I had been doing all day. I feel like the online vibe was much more inclusive back then. I still remember the friendly debates about the various adaptations of Legends of the Condor Heroes. Everyone would share their thoughts and reasons. Just the other day, I saw a similar question on Xiaohongshu, but the discussion quickly turned into heated arguments. Back then, sharing resources for online novels or gaming strategies was common, but now, such requests can easily trigger online debates. My parents loved playing Stephen Chow movies at home, which turned me into a belated fan of these classic 1990s Hong Kong comedies. At the core of his humor lies tragedy, yet his films also taught me simple values: be brave, be resilient, stay optimistic, and never give up on your dreams. To me, Stephen Chow feels like an old friend I’ve known for years—a forever-young legend. I wish I had been born earlier, in that golden era. I’d describe myself as a severe nostalgia (怀旧) addict, especially when it comes to 90s architecture. Just looking at images of those buildings or walking near them brings me a sense of comfort. Though they’ve become relics of the past, nothing is truly forgotten. 24. What can be inferred about the author’s childhood from the first paragraph? A. He had no idea about the online world. B. His life kept pace with the times. C. His parents were too busy to look after him. D. He had limited access to the Internet. 25. What does the author mean by saying “the online vibe was much more inclusive back then”? A. Different viewpoints could be respected. B. It is easier to reach an agreement. C. More people were willing to share. D. There were more online platforms. 26. What does the author think of Stephen Chow’s films? A. They only appeal to young people. B. They are tragedies with subtle humor. C. They combine humor with deep meaning. D. They are difficult to understand today. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s overall tone in the passage? A. Hopeful. B. Emotional. C. Humorous. D. Critical. C It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting. Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time—or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month. Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation. A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant. 28. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend. C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future. 29. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting? A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time. C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies. 30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting? A. Its benefits. B. Its purposes. C. Its approaches. D. Its examples. 31. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4? A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals. B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting. C. To explain why commitment is vital for success. D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency. D Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical—it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 32. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author? A. They promise fail-safe phrases. B. They possess academic authority. C. They facilitate creative writing. D. They provide ready-made expressions. 33. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Favor. B. Revise. C. Observe. D. Discourage. 34. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4? A. To show how AI aids us in expressing. B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D. To illustrate how language use affects identity. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Keep Your Dictionary? B. How to Deal with Digital Writing? C. Who Uses Writing Assistants? D. What to Expect from Dictionaries? 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms (算法), these institutions are creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories. 36 Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors' past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. What’s more, AIdriven virtual guides are serving visitors instead of traditional guides. 37 Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. 38 AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay(破损）, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. This early warning makes timely repair work possible. Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies. AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. It designs learning experiences matching different age groups and learning habits. 39 This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds. Looking ahead, the rapid advancement of AI promises both exciting possibilities and ethical (伦理的) challenges. Museums are working together with AI ethicists to develop fair algorithms. 40 Strict policies should be established to protect visitors’ information. A. Visitor data collection also raises privacy issues. B. AI reshapes the operation of modernday museums. C. They deliver contextbased replies to visitors’ questions. D. Timely discovery of damage counts for art preservation. E. AI may lower museums’ labour costs by simplifying routine work. F. Digital tools could weaken young visitors’ interest in real exhibits. G. To suit users, AI exhibits can adjust content and task difficulty levels. 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。 When I was 14, I met Mrs. Korthaus, a warm English teacher, who gave me the best 41 in my life.

He was seated in the backseat of a somewhat shabby taxi, making his way to the Olympic Stadium in the bustling city of Mexico City. He was understandably worried. The city was in the control of a massive traffic congestion. Everywhere he looked, there were traffic jams stretching as far as the eye could see. The honking(按喇叭)of horns filled the air, creating a chaotic symphony. His taxi, a small vehicle amidst the sea of larger cars, buses, and other taxis, was barely inching forward. Keino, with a furrowed brow, kept looking ahead at the long line of cars, buses, and taxis in front of him. The vehicles were bumper-to-bumper, and the drivers seemed frustrated, some impatiently drumming their fingers on the steering wheels. It was an hour before his race, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. As time ticked away, it became fifty minutes, and he could feel a sense of unease creeping up on him. The taxi moved a few more meters, but the progress was extremely slow. Forty minutes passed, and he started to tap his foot nervously on the floor of the taxi. The traffic showed no signs of letting up. Then, it was twenty minutes before the race. Keino’s heart began to pound a bit faster. He could see people on the sidewalks, some of them wearing Olympic-themed clothing, walking towards the stadium with excited expressions. Meanwhile, he was still stuck in the traffic. Finally, it was only ten minutes before the start of the race. And to his disappointment, the taxi was still a full 2 kilometers from the stadium. Considering the current traffic situation, the distance seemed almost impossible to cover. What’s worse, earlier that morning, even before getting into the taxi, he had been worried that the pain in his stomach might affect his performance. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 After a moment’s thought, however, Keino made a decision. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Keino hurriedly ran into the stadium, other players were ready for the race. 高三英语秋季开学学情自测卷参考答案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1-5 CAABC 6-10 ABCCB 11-15 CCBAB 16-20 ABBCA 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21-23 BDA 24-27 DACB 28-31 ACA B 32-35 CDDA 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36-40 BCDGA 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41—45 DCBAC 46—50 CDABD 51—55 BACAB 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56. have taken 57. adding 58. beyond 59. were 60. and 61.

To me, this order best serves both personal growth and long-term success. Studying should come first because university is, above all, a place where we prepare for our future. What we learn there not only equips us with knowledge but also trains us to solve real-world problems. Sleep follows closely, for a tired mind, however ambitious, cannot work efficiently as a well-rested one. I placed socializing last because, while it is valuable, it is often the most flexible and least urgent. Unlike falling behind in studies or sleep deprivation, missing a social event rarely causes permanent harm and can usually be made up later. In the end, a wise college student is one who has clear priorities while living a full and balanced life. 第二节 (满分25分) After a moment’s thought, however, Keino made a decision. He couldn’t wait any longer. Leaving some money for the driver, he opened the door and sprang into action. He began to run, not a jog but a determined sprint, weaving through the crowded sidewalks. The sharp, familiar pain in his stomach flared up with each step, but he gritted his teeth and pushed forward. The vibrant city became a blur as he focused on the distant stadium. His breathing was labored in the high-altitude air, yet his mind was clear: he had to make it to the starting line. This two-kilometer dash was an unplanned, painful prelude to his real race, a test of his will even before the competition began. When Keino hurriedly ran into the stadium, other players were ready for the race. He arrived just in time, breathless and sweating. With no time to warm up, he quickly pinned on his number and took his place on the track. The gun fired, and the race was on. His main rival, the top favorite, set a fierce pace. For most of the race, Keino clung on, battling the piercing pain in his stomach. Then, on the final lap, something incredible happened. Drawing upon a deep reserve of spirit, he surged ahead with a powerful kick, leaving his competitors behind. He crossed the finish line first, not just winning the gold medal but also setting a new Olympic record. His victory that day became a timeless lesson: that the greatest triumphs are not merely over opponents on the track, but over the obstacles within and the circumstances without, reminding us that a champion’s heart can turn any moment of despair into a defining moment of glory. 听力原文 Text 1 W: These past two days have been like a dream.

M: ⑮First of all, it’s hard to ignore the bad smell of chemical fertilizer. What’s more, during the harvest, the air is thick with dry dust.
